Located in the heart of the Dallas Arts District, the Nasher Sculpture Center is home to the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in the world, featuring more than 300 masterpieces by Calder, de Kooning, di Suvero, Giacometti, Gormley, Hepworth, Kelly, Matisse, Miró, Moore, Picasso, Rodin, Serra, and Shapiro, among others. The longtime dream of the late Nashers, the museum occupies a 2.4-acre site and is comprised of a 55,000 square-foot building designed by world-renowned architect Renzo Piano, and a 1.4 acre garden designed in collaboration with landscape architect Peter Walker. The museum seamlessly integrates the indoor galleries with the outdoor garden spaces, creating a museum experience unlike any other in the world. On view in the light-filled galleries and amid the garden grounds are a rotating selection of works from the Collection, as well as important exhibitions of modern and contemporary sculpture, including Sightings, a series of small-scale exhibitions and site-specific installations that explore new work by established and emerging artists. In addition to the indoor and outdoor gallery spaces, the Center contains an auditorium, education and research facilities, a cafe, and a store. Conceived for the exhibition, study, and conservation of modern and contemporary sculpture, the Nasher Sculpture Center also presents a diverse array of educational and cultural programs in dialogue with the Collection and special exhibitions, such as 360: Artists, Critics, Curators, a lecture series featuring art-world visionaries in conversations focused on sculptural themes.

Her work occupies both levels of the museum's galleries and garden. 🪨🌿'Lost Lands and Sunken Fields' is on view through April 27, 2025. _ Installation view of 'Haegue Yang: Lost Lands and Sunken Fields, Nasher Sculpture Center, Dallas, Texas.

Opening next month at the Nasher: ‘Haegue Yang: Lost Lands and Sunken Fields.’ For her exhibition at the Nasher, Yang signals a shift in her prolific practice, introducing a new series of sculptures with natural motifs inspired by landscapes and animal forms. ‘Lost Lands and Sunken Fields’ will occupy both levels of the museum’s galleries and garden, engaging a dialectic of contrasts: light and dark, aerial and grounded, buoyant and heavy, spare and dense, interior and exterior. ‘Lost Lands and Sunken Fields’ will open February 1, 2025.

✨ NOW ON VIEW: Nasher Public installation by Frances Bagley, ‘Shangri-La’ ✨ For over four decades, artist and long-time Dallasite Frances Bagley has created a multivalent sculptural language through her objects, installations, and lens-based media. In recent years, Bagley has begun to incorporate enterable structures in her installations to create an architecture that bridges the viewer’s world and the surreal universe that her organic forms and enchanted objects inhabit. ‘Shangri-La’ combines both immersive and closed spaces to describe an unreachable utopia. Originally exhibited in ‘State of the Art 2020’ at the Momentary, a contemporary art space at the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Bentonville, Arkansas, ‘Shangri-La’ was intended to evoke a sense of the confusion that Bagley sees as pervasive to contemporary life. Nasher Public: Frances Bagley is on view at the Nasher through February 2, 2025. _ Frances Bagley, ‘Shangri-La,’ 2020-24.

Recently wrote some heartfelt words about archiving for Nasher Sculpture Center’s biannual publication, The NASHER Magazine. Veteran photographer Nan Coulter visited me and we talked while she took photos, and Nasher staff captured some ephemera from my collection. I got to talk about my sweet mom, Theaster Gates, Lisbet Tellefsen, Mariame Kaba and other people whose works inspires me like Amber Sims, Vicki Meek, Angel Faz, Priscilla Escobedo, W Marvin Dulaney, Dr. Harry Robinson, Brenda Sanders-Wise, Marilyn Clark, Donald Payton, and the late Dr. George Keaton. Thank you to Adrienne Lichliter-Hines for the invitation. Let me know what you think. #archiving #BlackArchives #Blackfutures
