Art Notes – Sol LeWitt
In thinking about the role of art in making an office space interesting - and how a company's art assets can continue to work in subsequent office environments over time - there are some practical considerations to keep in mind when buying art for your office.
If you have a large lobby or reception area, a very large painting or sculpture may be what you need to dominate that space. But before you commit to *one* massive piece you may want to explore other options that could prove to be more versatile over the long term.
You might consider *a series or grouping* of art that has many components or parts that can be assembled in different ways to give you many opportunities to use/reuse in a variety of environments.
For an example on a grand scale consider Sol LeWitt's Lines in two directions in five colors with all their combinations, a set of 75 20x20 inch silkscreen prints (pictured above).
This is a very versatile work which will certainly dominate a very large space. It can also be reassembled in a number of ways to work in numerous smaller spaces in different arrangements throughout a large corporate facility.

Glass Glass Glass – All of Dallas is talking about Glass!
The new exhibition at the Dallas Arboretum of the glass artwork of Dale Chihuly is all the talk of the town - for good reason. It is a show that should not be missed! Chihuly exhibitions are always a must see but the Arboretum setting makes this one extra special. One thing I responded to particularly was the contrast between the inherent shininess of glass and the matte surface of nature. Exploring the exhibit is like a treasure hunt filled with wondrous objects in different shapes, colors and textures -- it will make you smile.

In conjunction with the Chihuly exhibit is Master Glass 2012 exhibition taking place throughout Dallas in over a dozen individual art galleries and art institutions. This exhibition is presented in three parts and brings over 30 nationally known and local artist whose primary medium is glass.
The first phase ended June 9, however many of the artists from that phase will also be featured in Part 2 which runs from June 16 - July 14 and will debut with an opening reception from 6 - 9 pm on Saturday, June 16, at the Ro2Art Gallery. The third phase of the MasterGlass exhibit will feature educational talks, demonstrations, classes and glass installations to be scheduled through November.
Don't forget to check out recent works by Dale Chihuly at Talley Dunn Gallery through August 18.
I have always been fond of both sculptural glass art and functional glass art and have always made glasswork a part our offerings.

Sustainable Art *is* mainstream art
Websites such as Inhabitat have been writing articles on Green Design and Sustainable Art for quite awhile now. This in not a "fringe" movement. This is NOW.
