Nasher XChange
To commence a yearlong 10-year anniversary, the Nasher Sculpture Center will present 'Nasher XChange', a dynamic art exhibition consisting of 10 newly - commissioned public sculptures by contemporary artists at sites throughout the city of Dallas from October 19, 2013 to February 16, 2014. Covering a diverse range of sites and approaches to sculpture, 'Nasher XChange' represents the first citywide, museum-organized public art exhibition in the United States.
The artists invited to participate in 'Nasher XChange' — Lara Almarcegui, Good/Bad Art Collective, Rachel Harrison, Alfredo Jaar, Liz Larner, Charles Long, Rick Lowe, Vicki Meek, Ruben Ochoa, and Ugo Rondinone— represent a range of sculptural practices in contemporary sculpture locally, nationally, and internationally. For the 'Nasher XChange' project, specifically, the artists have selected a variety of geographical, social, historical, environmental, and esthetic settings around the city of Dallas. These projects will be further enhanced through important collaborations with key community partners who will contribute to the artistic process, alongside the artists and the Nasher Sculpture Center.
Along with paying tribute to the history of the Nasher Collection of displaying sculpture in public places, 'Nasher XChange' advances the museum's exhibition program, which was expanded in 2009 to include contemporary sculpture through exhibitions featuring such artists as Ken Price, Ernesto Neto, Tony Cragg, and Jaume Plensa. The Nasher has also initiated its 'Sightings' series, which invites contemporary artists, such as Martin Creed, Eva Rothschild, and Diana Al-Hadid, to create installations responding to the architectural setting of the Nasher's Renzo Piano building. 'Nasher XChange' will provide an opportunity to extend this program out of the museum and into multiple communities.
In addition to commissioning these significant new art projects throughout the city, the museum plans scholarly publications, conferences, and educational programs for the public, as well as a free public celebration for the 10th anniversary on October 19, 2013 entitled 10+.
'Nasher XChange' has already received an historic amount of gifts and pledges for the project from local foundations, corporations and individual donors in excess of $1 million, including significant support of the Communities Foundation of Texas, the Eugene McDermott Foundation, and a major, leading gift from the Hoblitzelle Foundation, which is the largest single grant the Nasher Sculpture Center has received. The Nasher Foundation has also provided important guidance and financial support to commemorate this milestone anniversary for the Center.

Colorful Outdoor Wedding | Nasher Sculpture Garden
“Beauty is this - an altered state of consciousness, an extraordinary moment of poetry and grace.” - Leonard Koren
Abby & Robert's wedding day was, in every sense of the word, beautiful. A truly poetic and graceful celebration of life and love! It was an immense honor to document the joining of these two incredible people and their families on film. The speech by the bride's father, David Brehm, brings me to tears each and every time I hear it. I am forever thankful for this incredible day and everyone who made it so! Especially the wonderful Wendy Kay of Birds of a Feather!

The Beauty and Tragedy of Realism: Artist Erick Swenson in conversation with Curator Jed Morse
Presented April 28, 2012 at the Nasher Sculpture Center.
Rendered with incredible precision and a naturalist’s sensitivity, Erick Swenson’s works present fantastic vignettes of animals ensnared in strange, sometimes devastating circumstances, or quietly poetic scenes that evoke the beauty and tragedy of nature, as well as the human condition. Often shocking in their realism and precise details, the works take months, sometimes years, for the artist to fabricate, making new work by Swenson incredibly rare. This discussion with Nasher Sculpture Center Curator, Jed Morse coincides with the opening of his exhibition 'Sightings: Erick Swenson'. This exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center was the first museum exhibition dedicated to the artist in his adopted hometown, and his first solo exhibition in Dallas since 'Obviously a Movie' (Angstrom Gallery, 1998).
Erick Swenson’s installations create scenes of haunting perfection. Inspired by museum exhibits, set design, film special effects, and model making, Swenson crafts every minute detail of his tableaux, creating simulated, highly romantic scenes of that often exceed the ideals of nature. The Dallas-based artist has received national and international acclaim for his beguiling sculptures. A graduate of the University of North Texas and a member of the Good/Bad Art Collective in Denton c. 1999-2000, Swenson first gained international attention when he was featured in the 2004 Whitney Biennial Exhibition at the Whitney Museum of Art In New York. His sculptures now grace the collections of the Whitney, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, the Dallas Museum of Art, and the Saatchi Collection in London.
The Nasher Sculpture Center’s ongoing 360 Speaker Series features conversations and lectures on the ever-expanding definition of sculpture. Guests are invited to witness first-hand accounts of the inspiration behind some of the world’s most innovative artwork, architecture and design.

French Artists Within the American Cultural Landscape: Stories from the French Sculpture Census
Presented February 21, 2015 at the Nasher Sculpture Center.
From beloved works by Matisse and Rodin in museum collections to American icons like the Statue of Liberty, French sculpture has had a rich and indelible impact on the cultural landscape of the United States. In celebration of a new website that reveals the extent of this shared creative history, Laure de Margerie (Director, French Sculpture Census) and panelists: Jed Morse (Chief Curator, Nasher Sculpture Center), Amelie Simier (Director, Musee Bourdelle, Paris) and Dr Richard Brettell (Professor, University of Texas, Dallas) share stories of favorite works drawn from the database of the French Sculpture Census.
The Census of French Sculpture in American Public Collections is the first comprehensive catalogue of French sculpture in the United States. It lists all existing French Sculpture, dating from 1500 to 1960, in American public Collections. Not only does it take into account works in museums, but also in historic houses, government buildings (the White House for example), corporate collections and public space. The scope of the census is vast, both in space and time, and currently includes 7,500 works by 690 artist in 305 locations.
Hosted by the Nasher Sculpture Center and supported by a consortium of institutions in the United States and France, the Fench Sculpture Census is the largest existing website solely dedicated to sculpture. The Census of French Sculpture in American Public Collections is a project to the University of Texas, Dallas and the Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, in conjunction with the Institut national d'histoire de l'art (INHA), Paris, the Musée d’Orsay, Paris and the Musée Rodin, Paris with the participation of the École du Louvre, Paris.

Texas Vlog: Dallas Museums
Hey ya’ll,
I am back in Grand Prairie, TX for a week again. I’m super excited to be back because I am given the opportunity to do the things I want to do. This Texas Vlog is being broken into parts because I do not want to upload a super long video, I do plan on doing a recap video and highlighting things that I liked from each vlog I upload.
Peep my other vlogs:

Highlights:
In this vlog, I explore three museums in Dallas: Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Crow Museum of Asian Art
-Dallas Museum of Art is FREE! Parking is $15 but you can park and explore the area around. A cool museum but I didn’t get much footage due to their being a lot of people there for a field trip. Nasher Sculpture Center, $10 general admission. Pretty empty so I got to get a lot of footage. It is kind of small though but I enjoyed it because it was both indoors and outdoors. Crow Museum of Asian Art is FREE! Also a small museum.

Tony Cragg: Seeing Things at the Nasher Sculpture Center
The Nasher Sculpture Center presents Tony Cragg: Seeing Things, the first U.S. museum exhibition in nearly 20 years of the work of the award-winning, internationally-acclaimed artist. The exhibition will be on view at the Nasher Sculpture Center from September 10, 2011 to January 8, 2012. Tony Cragg: Seeing Things is presented by the Dallas Foundation.
Featuring approximately 30 large- and moderately-scaled sculptures dating from 1993 to the present, the exhibition provides a rare opportunity to see and better understand the artist's work since his last U.S. museum exhibition in the United States in 1990-92.
Cragg is lauded for his innovative and varied forms, which draw upon the artist's broad intellectual interests in science and literature, as well as an intuitive and emotional response to form and material. The exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center will survey the artist's great scope and variety of the artist's work. In addition, the exhibition will include a selection of drawings, integral to the artist's method and rarely seen in this country.
Arrayed throughout the Nasher Sculpture Center, the exhibition will occupy much of the interior galleries and garden, as well as engage the public on the sidewalk in front of the Nasher. The exhibition will be accompanied by a lavishly illustrated catalogue featuring a new scholarly essay by Nasher curator Jed Morse.
