Picking up the Slack: Ware:Wolf:Haus and West Dallas
Glasstire is a nonprofit cooperation, it focuses on Texas and southern California. I love that it brings us news about anything art related in Texas. On the Texas edition I like how it has the little map of Texas and you can choose your city of interest. I really don't like how it doesn't have tabs for specific artist, although it does have everything posted on one list and you can just scroll until you find something you like.
The Article I chose is called Picking up the Slack: Ware:Wolf:Haus and West Dallas, its by Lucia Simek. Lucia is based out of Dallas and she also contriburtes to a blog for D Magazine. The reason i chose this article is because it draws attention to a forgotten part of Dallas. I grew up in West Dallas, and i never realized what a bad taste that side of town had in some peoples mouth. Lucia brings a light to it. She talks about how investors have created an area of incubator restaurants and a place to have art. On some of the old warehouses they've painted on art murals by Faile, and lots of artist are encurraged to come fill up some of the empty warehouses with pop up shows. People like Arthur Peña, Nathan Green, Matt Clark, and Brian Ryden share a warehouse that open up for art and concerts. They hope to expand the boundaries of art by creating different scenes in empty spaces such as the ones found in west Dallas.
