Hot White Orange by Anderson and Anderson


Centraltrak: The University of Texas at Dallas Artists Residency opened Saturday night with its inaugural exhibition False Space and Time of the Apartment.

Very cool art and space. We enjoyed the exhibit. Lots of interactive art. Outside the gallery, Anderson and Anderson’s sculptures Lifebean and Hot White Orange were big hits. People entered into or sat on the sculptures. I had to take a photo of Nancy Whitenack, of Conduit Gallery, lounging on Hot White Orange. We visited Florencia Levy’s live-work loft and peeked into a studio. Florencia Levy an artist in residence is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Even the halls had artwork. And the parking lot looked like an abstract painting. Greg Metz graciously posed in Loop, by Stefan Eberstadt.

Centraltrak is a multi-purpose arts building that used to be a post office. It has four live-work loft spaces for artists, eight studios for U.T. Dallas MFA students, and a gallery. Charissa Terranova is the energetic Director.

The exhibit continues through June 3, 2008.
