Last chance to see "Michaël Borremans: As sweet as it gets"

"Michaël Borremans: As sweet as it gets” at the Dallas Museum of Art, is the first exhibition to bring together the Belgian artist’s paintings, drawings, and films from over the last fifteen years in a single survey. The exhibit is in Dallas only until July 5.While you’re at it, check out “Inca: Conquests of the Andes / Los Incas y las conquistas de los Andes” in the Chilton II Gallery till November 15. The works are primarily drawn from the DMA’s collection, many of which are on view for the first time. And what a collection it is! “Inca: Conquests of the Andes” explores the effects of the dynamic nature of state expansion and imperial conquest on Andean visual arts and presents more than 120 works.Andean cultures are renowned for their textile arts, from fine tapestry to feather adornments. By the Late Horizon (AD 1400–1532), the Inca regulated Andean cloth production as a state labor tax. Regional weavers provided cloth as tribute, while specialized weavers produced fine textiles for Inca nobility. According to Spanish accounts, the fine garments, or cumbi (qompi) wiven for military and officials were made by male specialists, while cloistered women made the finest garments for rituals, ceremonies, sacrifices and the emperor. That to say, weaving is not exclusively "women's work" in every culture.Entrance to the DMA is free; $16 gets you into both of these exhibits; parking is $10. Trolley from Uptown is free.
