Artist Talks
With each new exhibition, the Goss-Michael Foundation often has the exciting opportunity to welcome the featured artist(s) to Dallas. Since 2007, the Foundation has had the privilege of hosting some of the leading British Contemporary artists including Tracey Emin, Marc Quinn, Tim Noble & Sue Webster, Richard Patterson, Michael Craig-Martin and Jeremy Deller. While here, the artists attend book signings, give tours of their exhibitions, participate in public lectures often held in partnership with the DMA, the Nasher Sculpture Center or Dallas Contemporary and, on occasion, hold public art demonstrations or performances.
