A highlight of a recent visit to CDMX: Casa Gilardi, the final residential project by architect Luis BarragĂĄn. No surprise to learn that the house has been visited by - and an inspiration to - many other masters of color and light over the years, including David Hockney, Robert Irwin, and James Turrell đ¤đź
R+A was on the ground in Dallas-Fort Worth this week for a press trip exploring new and recently opened exhibitions at @DallasMuseumArt , @FWModern , @TheAmonCarter , and more. Senior Director Delaney Smith (@dsizz96 ) shared her dispatches from a jam-packed three days:
âDallas-Fort Worth has an unbelievable amount of high-caliber arts institutions. Over the past few days, we took a whirlwind tour of just a sampling of the regionâs offerings, from Jenny Savilleâs sweeping survey at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth to ancient marbles from the @FondazioneTorlonia at the @KimbellArtMuseum , a star-studded exhibition of American modernism at The Amon Carter, and a wide assortment of contemporary works at The @WarehouseDallas âit scratched all of this art loverâs itches!
The icing on the cake was getting to preview 'Constellations,' the DMAâs first exhibition of its remarkable contemporary jewelry collection. Itâs a type of collection that you donât often see in museum settings, and the DMA has put together a truly dazzling display of the creativity, play, and inventiveness imbued in these wearable works of art.â

First weekend with my new roommates Scampi and Zino (legal name: Branzino). They havenât agreed to split the rent yet but they have been putting up with constant paparazzi pics, so I guess thatâs a fair deal.
Big thanks to @bronxtailscatrescue for bringing these sweet boys home đ
Rang in another year of existence as god intended: in the company of close friends, an abundance of stone fruit, and multiple listen-throughs of Charli XCXâs critically acclaimed album Brat (2024)
