False Space and Time of the Apartment

Start date: Saturday, April 19, 2008
Event is ongoing: Until Monday, June 16, 2008

Central Track: The University of Texas at Dallas Artists Residency opens its doors to the public 7 to 9 a.m. Saturday, April 19, with the exhibition “False Space and Time of the Apartment,” which runs through June 16. Featuring work by 10 U.S. and European artists, the show takes its title from J. G. Ballard’s 1969 novel Love and Napalm: Export U.S.A. A chronicler of the urban imagination, Ballard gives voice to Central Track. Taking its cue from the novel’s media-scape, the inaugural show is spatially bold and ambiguous, neither art nor architecture, but somewhere in between, including works by:

· San Francisco architecture firm Anderson and Anderson. · Dutch designers Daniel Rozenberg and Dré Wapenaar. · Dallas sculptors and installation artists Lily Hanson and Tim Stokes. · Houston installation artists Dean Ruck and Dan Havel. · French architect Nathalie Wolberg. · German sculptor and installation artist Stefan Eberstadt.

Located in the heart of Deep Ellum, Central Track houses a gallery and live-work space for artists-in-residence and UT Dallas graduate students. Central Track has a full calendar of events that includes bimonthly gallery exhibitions, lectures, poetry readings and performances. The only university-backed artists residency in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, Central Track accepts applications from artists working in new media, performance, installation art, sound art, theory, criticism and creative writing, architecture, urbanism, painting, drawing and sculpture.
