Cowboys are top of mind in Dallas, but this time it’s not football.
, who own Gallery 12.26. Hannah said the idea for a cowboy-related exhibition is something her sister has wanted to do for a long time. It’s a project inspired by the sisters’ Dallas origins.“We’re very proud that we have a few Dallas-based artists on our roster,” Fagadau said. “It’s exciting for us to be able to put these Dallas artists in the context of the contemporary global art world. They have this opportunity to be in conversation and be shown amongst artists from outside Texas.
“Our show has women artists, queer artists, Asian American artists, Black artists, it’s really a wide range of folks who are interested in seeing how they might fit into or how they relate to the myth of the cowboy,” Myers said.Grace Kennison's 'Fall Of The Rebel Angel' exhibited at Gallery 12.26 in the Dallas Design District.
Townsend says Dallas shaped the artist that he has become. Fittingly, most of the photographs that are now part of “Heard” were taken in Dallas or Fort Worth across the last five years. Myers expressed a desire to challenge the idea of the cowboy that was built by Hollywood in the last century. She says recent figures like John Wayne and the Marlboro Man have taken a historically diverse origin and made it almost exclusively white.
Nickolas Gaines, the curator of “Heard,” expressed a similar desire to reaffirm that diverse history with Townsend’s exhibition.Many people don’t know about the prevalence of Black cowboys in Texas in the 1850s, he said. “Even the term cowboy. It goes back to enslaved Black men being told ‘Go check on that cow, boy’... the history of Black people in Texas, as cowboys, that’s the heart of this exhibition.
