Hartland & Mackie / Labora Collection
The inaugural exhibition of the newly formed Warehouse Dallas Art Foundation offers a glimpse at two collections—The Rachofsky Collection, created over the past 40 years, and the Hartland & Mackie / Labora Collection, developed over the last decade—foregrounding the potent and inventive interplay that will serve as a guiding principle for future programming at The Warehouse. This first look, as it were, is the Foundation’s opening chapter as it explores the art of our times.
Although both collections remain distinct in their points of view, the exhibition illuminates the serendipitous ways they overlap. As the exhibition unfolds, each gallery explores a theme or artist central to both collections, including commitments to several artists collected in-depth, such as Carroll Dunham, Wade Guyton, Marguerite Humeau, Calvin Marcus, and Dana Schutz. The exhibition is punctuated with galleries that offer broad presentations of these artists’ practices. In some instances, works by the same artists from different bodies of work will be placed in conversation, while in others, entirely different practices will be brought into dialogue.
