Preview Showing and Toast to Caja DALLAS: A Collaboration with SEVEN and the DALLAS ART FAIR
6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.

The concept of the market has been around over a thousand years, always associated as a basic concept of human interaction with goods and services. In today’s contemporary culture, artists have been added to the dialogue of selling their art-work to collectors. This exhibition begins the discussion of what impact the market or consumerism has on artists within the current gallery and art fair models. The project will take the form of a real working and functioning art fair inside a non-for-profit institution, investigating, yet blurring the boundaries of all known art world systems. The title, Caja Dallas, highlights the multicultural and global nature of purchasing and conducting business today. Caja, a Spanish word with dual meanings, money point and box, sets the starting point of this art world examination. Issues of desire, collecting and sustainable careers will also be overviewed and discussed. The project is a collaborative project between SEVEN, the Dallas Art Fair, and the Dallas Contemporary.

The Dallas Museum of Art is supported in part by the generosity of Museum members and donors, the citizens of Dallas through the City of Dallas Office of Cultural Affairs, and the Texas Commission on the Arts.

The Nasher Sculpture Center is home to one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculptures in the world, the Raymond and Patsy Nasher Collection, featuring more than 300 masterpieces by Calder, Giacometti, Matisse, Picasso, Rodin and more. Hailed by the “USA Today” as one of the great sculpture gardens where art enhances nature, the “roofless” museum seamlessly integrates the indoor galleries with the outdoor spaces creating a museum experience unlike any other in the world.

Dallas Contemporary is a non-collecting art museum presenting new and fresh ideas from regional, national and international artists.
