With her extensive background in art, curating the likes of FAILE, Julian Schnabel, and Richard Phillips, Erin Cluley is the kind of person who seems almost too cool to hang out with. That's probably why her new gallery has made a huge splash on the local scene in the past few months. After departing the Dallas Contemporary to open her own spot earlier this year, Cluley has produced a pair of interesting exhibitions in the short time that her gallery has been open. Contemporary pieces may seem a little "out there" for those of us who consider art to be still lifes and portraits, but it's certainly worth exploring. At the very least, you'll get to see a lot of really cool, visually interesting stuff.
The Joule Hotel
It seems weird to think of a hotel as an art museum, but that's kind of what the brains behind The Joule are going for. When you walk in the front doors, a massive bronze sculpture by British artist Tony Cragg is enough to distract you entirely from the fact that a night or two at the Joule is probably as much as your rent. There are several other prominently featured pieces across the lobby, which makes it worth a wander if you've got a few minutes to kill before your dinner reservations at CBD Provisions. There's also a Taschen library full of haute coffee table art books, including those entirely focused on penises and boobs.
