I’m excited to share that I’ll be curating “Well, Well, Well”, a group exhibition at ’s Boedeker building developed through an open call model.

Applications are now live and due August 15.

Inspired by the 2015 issue of Harvard Design Magazine, the exhibition examines the contradictions surrounding health, wellness and the systems designed to sustain us. The show considers the body as something adaptive, unstable and deeply shaped by social, political and economic structures.

Artists are invited to respond both to the exhibition’s conceptual framework and to the unique spatial conditions of the Boedeker building’s “pink room.”

Works will be selected based on conceptual alignment and their ability to generate dialogue within the space.

“Well, Well, Well” will be on view December 18–19, 2026.

Wyland’s “Whaling Wall” was a self-funded project gifted to the city of Dallas by the conservationist / artist, completed in 1999. It was veiled by advertisements from 2005 until 2020, when I took these shots of it. Over the past couple of days, we’ve seen posts of the mural’s front facade being painted over in a deep, flat blue “in preparation for FIFA World Cup,” which will undoubtedly be a sh*tshow for most folks living in Dallas, though maybe cup-goers will enjoy the four weeks of festivities.

It all comes at a dark time, when our city feels more bought out than ever, and calls into question when, how, and if residents have say in a city’s identity when it comes to architecture and public art.

It’s been a pleasure to help bring these two exhibitions to fruition, opening this weekend at alongside Dallas Art Book Fair.

Michael Corris’s ( ) ‘Incidents on a Page: Illustrated Texts on Art, 1971–2026’ surveys nearly six decades of typographic works depicting excerpts from his writings, drawn from bookworks, catalogues, broadsides, and ephemera. Corris’s formation emerged within Conceptual Art. From 1972 to 1976, he participated in Art & Language, contributing to Art-Language and serving as a founding editor of The Fox (1975) and Red-Herring (1977). His practice has since spanned writing, exhibition-making, publishing, pedagogy, and institutional critique. His work considers the infrastructures shaping artistic labor and cultural authority, underscoring a commitment to the free circulation of knowledge.

Laray Polk’s ‘American Progress / Nu det Nuuk!’ centers on a site-specific map tracing U.S. territories across the Pacific and Caribbean, including those currently under consideration for annexation, with a companion booklet outlining their shifting and often ambiguous political designations. The title of the work refers in equal measure to John Gast’s 1872 painting depicting the “Westward course of destiny” and Jesper Rabe Tonnesen’s recent hat design with an embroidered message in Danish protesting the potential U.S. takeover of Greenland.

On view March 20 – April 5

Members-only preview + opening reception Friday, March 20. Dallas Art Book Fair follows Saturday + Sunday, 12–5 PM, free and open to the public with vendors from across the region and beyond. On Saturday, March 21, 3:30–4:30 PM, Michael joins philosopher Philippe Chuard in conversation on art, language, and perception.

‘Margins of the Midway’ on view 24 January—01 February 2026

| Artist-run project space and studio inside an 800 sqft apartment in Oak Cliff

A solo presentation of images that traces moments often overlooked when Fair Park in Dallas, Texas, a typically dormant place, is given grandiose attention. This body of work continues an inquiry into the complexities of Fair Park and the city of Dallas, considering the State Fair of Texas as a site of contradiction, suspended between past and present.

DM to schedule a viewing + join for the opening 6–9PM 1/24 (weather permitting) 🦢
