FRONT RUNNER

THAT AUSTIN GLOW

When the sun goes down, Austin’s best view may be one of Evan Voyles’s neon signs. About 260 of them glow across the city, and his 27-year-old company Neon Jungle (i.e., Voyles and an assistant) has a backlog of orders.

6 AUSTINWAY.com

The native Austinite and self-taught artist doesn’t advertise; businesses find him. He’ll size them up with the light and traffic and sketch out his vision, ideally on a cocktail napkin. “I get my idea in the first five minutes or not

at all,” he says. “Clients become my friends: I eat at their restaurants, drink at their bars. I work for the pleasure of the tribe.”

His favorite sign was his first, for Tesoros in 1994.

Fashion designer and store general manager

Gail Chovan would call Voyles to fix the malfunctioning sign and “discuss my inadequacies.” The two are now married with 10-year-old twins. The sign glows on.

Neon Jungle is housed in a century-old former

grocery store next to Chovan’s atelier. Voyles, a Yale liberal arts grad, gets a kick out of mixing art and commerce. “It’s hard to walk away from the bully pulpit of the street,” he says.

“I get to make stuff that everyone can look at.”

LETTER From THE EDITor-IN-CHIEF

Within a five-mile radius in Austin reside 16-plus years of memories, from the first duplex I rented (my former backyard is now the South Congress Hotel) to where I got married (the French Legation) and where my son was born (St. David’s).

Although we all love Austin for some of the same reasons, it’s a different city for each of us. Our life stories are layered on top of landmarks, restaurants, stores, streets, and parks. Look at the Capitol, and what do you see? I picture my son as a toddler gleefully rolling in the grass, the first Texas Book Festival my now-husband and I attended together after dating for a few weeks, and the hundreds of women in orange T-shirts chanting in the rotunda during Sen. Wendy Davis’s 11-plus-hour filibuster that hot June night in 2013 (find out what Davis is doing now on page 58).

This fascination with place was one of the reasons I was drawn to local artist Jennifer Chenoweth’s XYZ Atlas project, whose Hedonic Map of Austin graces our cover. Chenoweth based her project on surveys that asked 500 Austinites where they experienced love, anger, embarrassment, and pure joy. The questions prompted me to delve deeper into my own associations.

20 AUSTINWAY.com

When I think of my happy places, there are the obvious: the hike-and-bike trail, Deep Eddy Pool, the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. Austin wouldn’t be my Austin without BookPeople, Justine’s Brasserie, the Paramount Theatre, Violet Crown, or any of the Alamo Drafthouses.

My favorite rainy escapes are to the Blanton Museum of Art and the LBJ Presidential Library. Working on this issue cemented my strong affection for two other places: the world renowned Lake Austin Spa Resort (page 74), which truly is my idea of heaven, and Canopy in East Austin, an inspiring collection of artist studios and galleries as well as the sublime Sa-Tén café (page 112).

Nothing spurs creativity and restoration quite like a location change, which is why summer vacations are so essential, but sometimes simply rediscovering an old favorite can do the trick. I hope this annual Art of the City issue reconnects you to those places that make up your Austin.

sky, others are starting from the ground up, such as the Saint Elmo Public Market at South Congress and Industrial Boulevard. This unique retail and office space is designed to capture the essence of Austin’s creative vibe: housing, music, entertainment, and media technology entrepreneurs alike under one spectacular roof. Not to mention the new Domain Northside, which features local artist’ murals and street art woven through the amazing retail and residential addition to The Domain.

While these new endeavors are exciting, we are sure to tip our hats to certain iconic Austin artists such as Evan Voyles. His trademark neon signs are a part of Austin on which new creative minds can keep building. And we will keep on applauding the past, present, and future artists that keep the Art of the City alive.

This is Austin Way’s second annual Art of the City issue, and our editorial team, spearheaded by Editor-in-Chief Kathy Blackwell, is talking about all kinds of creative things happening in Austin. From the start, with Jennifer Chenoweth’s XYZ Atlas: The Hedonic Map of Austin on our cover, to the end with a stunning, modern design collection featured from B&B Italia on the back cover, Austin Way mirrors the city’s constant desire to keep art and design top of mind.

Creative minds are emerging all over our city, showcasing their talents to enhance the Austin community.

Art is being elevated, literally, as our city’s skyline becomes more dynamic and intriguing to match Austin’s energy. Weekend hotspot Rainey Street is being enhanced by CJ Sackman’s 70 Rainey, and another bustling nightlife destination, West Sixth, is gaining a dramatic new design concept known as Fifth & West. And let’s not forget The Independent, Austin’s Jenga Tower represented by Kevin Burns and Urban Space that will tower over our city’s core as the tallest residential building west of the Mississippi.

John T. Davis

Jenny saThngam

The author of Austin City Limits: 25 Years of American Music, John T. Davis has written about the music, personalities, and culture of Texas for publications including the Austin Chronicle and Texas Monthly for over 30 years. In this issue, he gives us an inside look at the not-to-be-missed country events of the season (page 52).

After leaving a job in finance and moving to Australia, Jenny Sathngam found her true passion: photography.

Now based in Austin, the self-taught photographer has contributed to Food & Wine and Travel + Leisure, among other publications. See her work in the “Art of the City” cover story on visual artist Jennifer Chenoweth (page 88).

When did you know you wanted to be a writer? It happened in grade school, when my class took a field trip to the Dallas Morning News. There were guys wearing their hats indoors and smoking cigarettes and sassy dames cracking wise. Everyone was talking on the telephone.

Teletype machines were going off in the background. I was hooked on the spot.

Since this is our “Art of the City” issue, do you have a favorite work of art or museum? My favorite artist of all time and mediums is David Hockney. The Harry Ransom Center is my favorite museum in Austin—they have the largest Magnum photography collection in the world, and the work is incredible and historically important.

Todd Marshard

MiMi FauceTT

A former fashion coordinator for GUESS, Todd Marshard found himself behind the camera after a decade in the styling business. Since then, he has shot for an array of clients including Harper’s Bazaar and Town & Country.

Marshard photographed the fashion feature “National Treasure” (page 100) for this issue of Austin Way.

Mimi Faucett is a design and lifestyle writer who calls on her background in interior design to contribute to publications like Architectural Digest and Luxe Interiors + Design, where she worked as a market editor. She explored a newly renovated ranch-style gem in this issue’s “Space” section (page 118).

What is the inspiration behind your shoots? Each time I shoot, it’s a creative exploration, and light is always my biggest inspiration. Natural light is magic if you use it in the right way.

What is your favorite thing about Austin in the summer? Let’s just state the obvious: Barton Springs Pool. A good book is better enjoyed on a blanket in front of the pool. Also, upon moving here I quickly discovered an Austin woman’s summer uniform: a flow-y dress and bright lipstick— to which I have happily adhered.

What are your plans for the summer? I plan on surfing as much as possible out in Montauk and making sure I take advantage of another summer!

ART DINNER The most beautiful and connected Austinites gathered at Laguna Gloria for the 3rd Annual Art dinner celebrating the hundred-year anniversary of Clara Driscoll’s 1916 Mediterranean-style villa. A lavish garden party encompassing the Driscoll Villa and the 12 acres of surrounding sculpture park set the scene for the celebration as guests were treated by restaurateur Larry McGuire of McGuire Moorman Hospitality to ornate cocktails and dinner. Sotheby’s led the official Art auction, raising over $250,000 for Contemporary Austin’s upcoming shows and programs. The evening closed with the striking debut projection performance of Ronen Sharabani’s Matchbox made possible by the Edward and Betty Marcus Foundation.

CATCH THE MUSIC SCENE’S NEXT BIG THING AT THE INTIMATE 3TEN ACL LIVE, A BLEND OF AUSTIN CITY LIMITSÕ TWO HOMES.

The city’s newest listening room, 3Ten ACL Live, has already become a sought-after venue since its March opening, with bands like Son Volt and Grupo Fantasma bringing the crowds. A little sister to ACL Live at the Moody Theater (it’s next to ACL Live’s box office), 3Ten has space for 350, the same capacity as the original home of Austin City Limits before KLRU-TV moved production to the 2,750-capacity ACL Live.

The new room, which opens onto a patio on Willie Nelson Boulevard, boasts the same impeccable sound as ACL Live as well as a similar décor, with velvet and brass accents.

“Our true inspiration for the interiors at 3Ten is a room tucked [away] at ACL Live not many people get to see called the Partner Suite,” ssays Heather Plimmer, director of design for Stratus Properties. Bathrooms feature photographs of the 1970s Austin music scene by Scott Newton.

“Scott’s work is an important part of the story for Austin City Limits and the team at ACL Live/Stratus,” Plimmer adds.

In addition to private and KLRU events, 3Ten’s music lineup is strong, with Elizabeth Cook, Dylan LeBlanc, and more on the summer calendar. Colleen Fischer, ACL Live general manager, says to expect “a fairly eclectic programming schedule, not unlike our big place upstairs.” 310 Willie Nelson Blvd., 512-457-5595; 3tenaustin.com

all that and dim sum The fuTure of AusTin dining is now AT EmmEr & ryE, from iTs grAin-bAsed menu To iTs cArT full of nighTly surprises. By Frani LiEBErman

A charming culinary haven, Emmer & Rye brings a “choose your own adventure” dining experience to Rainey Street. Chef Kevin Fink and his team create an always-changing menu of seasonal items, supplemented by a rotating dim sum cart of dishes celebrating the daily haul of small farmers and foragers.

“As a chef, you are always in pursuit of how to extract the best flavor of your product,” says Fink, a 2016 Food & Wine Best New Chef. This is why Emmer & Rye freshly mills heritage grains for pastas, breads, and desserts. An in-house fermentation program maximizes the life of produce and ups the flavor ante of dishes such as the supple Johnny Cake, filled with fermented vegetables and meats. “When you use acid through fermentation, there is an unexplainable vertical and horizontal flavor,” Fink explains.

Pasta at Emmer & Rye centers around a dedication to relic grains and Fink’s tenure in Florence, Italy.

Cacio e Pepe is a staple, made from Blue Beard Durum spaghetti and Challerhocker cheese—a creamy bowl of perfection. A bonein pork chop may be Emmer’s most elusive menu item, there until it’s gone with a rich umami flavor from two weeks of dry aging.

If you miss the chop, a return visit to Emmer & Rye guarantees a whole new adventure. 51 Rainey St., Suite 110, 512-366-5530; emmerandrye.com

READY PLAYER ONE GAMERS FROM AROUND THE GLOBE INVADE AUSTIN THIS JULY FOR ROOSTER TEETH’S MEGA-POPULAR RTX. COULD IT BE THE NEXT SXSW? What: RTX, the fifth annual three-day video game and online video festival, is the latest success of Austin-based video production company Rooster Teeth, best known for its insanely popular series Red Vs. Blue (which measures its web views by the billion) and the recent feature film Lazer Team. Don’t recognize those names? Ask the closest (male) neighbor kid with a smartphone.

Where: On launching the festival in 2011, Rooster Teeth co founder Gus Sorola told Austin Convention Center officials his goal was to take over the entire complex in five years. He’s done it—an initial turnout of 4,500 has swelled to an expected 60,000 this year, with a satellite fest in Australia. Sorola is now exploring joint programming with Austin-based film heavies Alamo Drafthouse Cinemas.

“Maybe [only] 15 to 20 percent are from Austin,” he says of attendees.

“They come from every continent except Antarctica because they want to meet the creators of content they love and make connections with other people like them.”

You can expect: Appearances from game makers and online video and gaming personalities; a weekend-long virtual reality immersive adventure; and a classic arcade game wing to cater to those video game fans who just can’t let go of their love of Ms. Pac-Man or Centipede. No quarters required.

FILM: The Paramount Summer Classic Film Series Why go: For 41 years, the century-old Paramount has offered respite from the heat with an expertly curated program of hundreds of movies. This summer brings a new sound system and digital cinema (DCP), but prints will be shown whenever possible.

“DCP simply allows us expand the catalog, so look forward to seeing dozens of movies that have not been featured at the Paramount in quite a long time, if ever,” programmer Steven Jannise says.

The dates: Memorial Day to Labor Day. Insider tip: Film Fan Club members can attend exclusive parties and get reserved seating.

Highlights: Double bills like All About Eve and Double Indemnity (June 21, 22) as well as anniversary showings of films like the 60th birthday of Texas classic Giant (September 3). austintheatre.org FUN: The Wet Deck at W Austin Why go: The W Austin’s fourth-floor pool is the place to be during the summer, with the SoundWave pool party series featuring Bird Peterson and DJ Kurupt every Sunday from noon to sundown ($20 cover), and Sunset Sessions every weeknight from 4-7 pm, featuring drink specials, fashion pop-ups, and other surprises.

Insider tip: Enjoy SoundWave in style by booking a cabana, starting at $200, and bottle service.

Highlight: Luxuriate in poolside services from the adjoining Away Spa, from massages to sunscreen application for the ultimate in posh lounging.

SCENE DRINK

TICKLED PINK

“Rosé is different [from] reds and whites in the sense that it’s almost become more of a lifestyle brand,” says Paul Chevalier of Château d’Esclans, the winemaker behind such rosés as Garrus, Les Clans, Rock Angel, and Whispering Angel, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. “It’s this world-travelling group that drinks rosé, and now it’s spreading to broader demographics across the US.” Initially, US audiences shied away from the pink-hued summer sipper because of its reputation as being overly sweet, but no more—as palates have grown more sophisticated, Americans have embraced rosé in all its nuanced forms. “You’ve seen a great growth in the wine business as we’ve developed a stronger food culture in the US,” says Bill Terlato, CEO of Terlato Wines, which has several rosés on its roster from the Belleruche, Sanford, and Il Poggione wineries. “People who are interested in food are driving [the demand for rosé], and to a large extent, those are Millennials.”

That same group—which eagerly stocks rosé outside its traditional “season” from Memorial Day through Labor Day—is also spreading its enthusiasm through social media, with hashtags like #RoseAllDay. Says Terlato, “There’s no question that the color is striking, but ultimately, there wouldn’t be that kind of following if the quality wasn’t in the bottle.”

Our Hero

As Lt. Carlton Burk on Michael Bay’s hit post-apocalyptic series on TNT, The Last Ship, San Antonio native Jocko Sims is out to save the world.

Since leaving Texas to pursue a theater degree at UCLA, Sims has appeared in Dreamgirls, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and Masters of Sex, among many other roles.

Austin Way caught up with Sims, who co hosts a weekly radio show with his mother, Apollo Night LA, before June’s third-season premiere of The Last Ship.

On Lt. Carlton Burk: “His mission comes before everything. It [even] comes before family—and love.”

Speaking of love…“I love my home state, but Austin feels like a portal to another world —a very forward-thinking, fun, heavily artsy, eclectic town.”

Rap it up: After Sims learned how to rap for his role on the Starz series Crash, it’s now a fun hobby.

“I’m creating a comedy series about a group of guys trying to make it in the hip-hop business, so I will be doing a lot more of it soon.”

Favorite radio guest: En Vogue. “I grew up listening to them because my mom used to buy all of the tapes.

It was surreal sitting with them.”

What’s next? “I’m interested in doing more producing, and I’m also developing a sports-based talk show. Look out!”

COIN TOSS DANISH ARTISTS ADD SOME FUN TO LAGUNA GLORIA’S FOUNTAIN TERRACE WITH “LOST MONEY.”

About 700 coins are affixed to the terrace leading up to the fountain at The Contemporary’s Laguna Gloria—the century-old villa once owned by iconic Texas philanthropist Clara Driscoll—in a new installation by Danish art group Superflex.

“IT’S NOT EXPECTED ARTWORK IN A TRADITIONAL SCULPTURE PARK.” —LOUIS GRACHOS

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BRIAN FITZSIMMONS

You want to pick the glittering coins up off the ground, but you can’t.

For the new “Lost Money” installation at Contemporary Austin’s Laguna Gloria, Danish art trio Superflex, with the help of museum board members and staffers, randomly tossed 700 coins on the patio and terrace around Laguna’s lake-facing fountain; the artists then affixed the money to the ground exactly where each piece fell.

The exhibit, one of several new installations at the 12-acre Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park at Laguna Gloria, takes about $2,000 worth of nickels, dimes, quarters, and rare coins out of circulation, playing on wishful coin tosses into fountains.

“The bright Texas sky hitting the coins creates this beautiful, shimmering effect around the fountain,” says Contemporary executive director Louis Grachos, who was drawn to Superflex after seeing a major public art project they executed in Copenhagen last summer.

As Grachos develops the garden’s long-term plan, he’s drawn to “generous and socialminded” artists like Superflex, whose “Lost Money” might become permanent. Adds Grachos: “It’s not expected artwork in a traditional sculpture park. We’re trying hard to make it a unique destination where art and nature intersect in interesting ways.” 3809 W. 35th St., 512-4588191; contemporaryaustin.org

XYZ Atlas is the latest achievement in Jennifer Chenoweth’s art career, one that continually blurs the lines of the relationship between artists, their work and their audience. Chenoweth explores her art process through Fisterra Studio, where she makes contemporary art in any material that fits the idea, from drawings to large sculpture to interactive collaborative projects. Her personal style has earned her a reputation as a critically acclaimed figure in Austin’s art community, in part because of her ability to utilize visual art as a tool for social change through inspiration and connection.

Jennifer is an artist that doesn’t fall neatly into any category, perhaps because she views her artistic inquiry as parallel to the philosophic inquiry of becoming and being. She works backwards from an idea and forwards from studio process — the art manifests somewhere in the middle.

Chenoweth’s process evolves with her and has allowed her art to progress with technology.

In addition to the XYZ Atlas, Chenoweth is also on a team for an ArtPlace project titled Drawing Lines, which will create an art piece that represents each of Austin’s 10 City Council districts as a catalyst for needed social and political change. In 2010, she founded a nonprofit, Generous Art, to empower artists and strengthen communities.

She works actively in her studio and in her community to create change through inspiration and connection.

As part of her next act, Davis sold her Fort Worth home and now lives in downtown Austin, where she’s close to her first granddaughter, born this spring.

The origin of Deeds Not Words: “It was a

motto used in London and in the United States as part of the suffragette movement. We’ve had the right to vote for 95 years but have yet to fully realize equality.”

On using Austin’s Guerilla Suit for the campaign’s branding and design: “When you want to talk to millennials, you go to millennials.”

The filibuster turns three: “We would not be

talking about that day if it hadn’t been for the thousands of people who came and decided to literally cry out against what they saw as an injustice.”

Style matters: “As silly as this sounds, on the days that I feel powerful, usually it’s because I have on some badass high heels, and I’m having a really good hair day.”

WITH COVE, REBECCA YANOFF HAS CREATED A TRAVEL-INSPIRED OASIS IN THE HEART OF SOCO.

As a college student, Rebecca Yanoff loved living on vibrant and eclectic South Congress Avenue, but she missed the type of high-low shopping she grew up enjoying in New York, where she could easily find chic labels mixed with less expensive, trendy pieces. Now Yanoff is filling that SoCo niche herself by opening Cove boutique, an airy, breathable space filled with upscale casual lines, swimwear, accessories, and stylish gifts.

But Cove was several years in the making. After earning a liberal arts degree at UT and her master’s at St. Edward’s as well as taking time off to travel in Europe, Yanoff became a personal trainer at Castle Hill Fitness, where she developed important friendships. “You become close with your clients,” says Yanoff. “They pushed me to do more and knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur.” As Yanoff began developing her business plan, one fitness client in particular became essential: real estate developer Peter Barlin, who partnered with her to build a new structure on an empty lot on her SoCo street of dreams.

Cove’s modern, sleek two-story building, designed by Austin’s Un.box Studio, sits on the hot corner of Gibson Street and South Congress, îî

a prime location for foot traffic. A lot of her regulars live in Travis Heights and Bouldin Creek (her store straddles both ’hoods), and she gets a stream of tourists from the neighboring boutique hotels. She actually started building her customer base six months before the building opened in January—weather had delayed construction, and with inventory to sell, Yanoff opened a pop-up shop at the church directly behind her new space. “The pop-up allowed me to work out the kinks, those mistakes you make in the beginning,” she recalls.

Although located in the SoCo hustle, the light-filled, elegantly appointed Cove was designed to feel like a relaxing retreat. “People always say ‘I feel like I’m on a vacation’ when they come in, which is what I wanted,” says Yanoff, who cites travel as a primary source of inspiration and avoids anything too austere to encourage a welcoming vibe. That philosophy also applies to the brands she carries, including Rebecca Taylor, Cynthia Vincent, Zimmermann, Antik Batik, and Tularosa: “The aesthetic is a little boho but very wearable. It’s what Austin women wear on a daily basis.”

Yanoff envisions building out the second floor, adding more gifts, and opening a café—making the Cove experience a destination like Dallas’s Forty Five Ten. SoCo seems ready for it, she adds. “Once I saw the opportunity of this location, everything opened up.” 1318 S. Congress Ave., 737-484-0267; coveclothing.com

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEFF CRAWFORD (KIMONO); MLENNY (LEFT DESERT); CHRIS CROSS (RIGHT DESERT)

Celebrated Bunkhouse hotelier Liz Lambert’s impeccable attention to detail makes it difficult to leave any of her acclaimed Texas properties, including Austin’s Saint Cecilia and San Jose hotels. One way to extend your stay, at least existentially, is to own a kimono designed by Lambert to match the personalities of each of her hotels.

“When I started thinking about robes for Hotel Saint Cecilia, I became obsessed with vintage kimonos and yukatas,” Lambert recalls. “They’re glamorous and hippie at the same time, they are super comfortable, and they look good on everyone. We worked with textiles designers in India; the cotton is so soft and just gets better with wear. I chose a batik print for the Saint Celia robe, and we used a serape stripe for the San Jose to reflect the sort of Tokyomeets-Texas feel of the hotel.”

Lambert also designed kimonos, which are made in a government sponsored co-op in India using indigenous weaving and dyeing techniques, for her other properties: San Antonio’s Latin-inspired Havana and Marfa’s psychedelic El Cosmico. The robes are gift shop best-sellers.

Since the kimono arrived at the San Jose five years ago, guests often ask to buy the wash-andworn robes that are already in their rooms. With either the blue or pink serape-striped option, it’s the next best thing to scoring a late checkout. sanjosehotelstore.com

Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not there.

Although it’s more common in older women, ovarian cancer affects women of all ages, even in their 20s. There is no early detection test, and symptoms can be subtle. But while you can’t see it, you can take steps to get ahead of it by knowing your risk factors. Family history of cancer and presence of gene mutations like BRCA are risk factors, so talk to your family and your doctor. This information makes you less likely to ignore vague signs that could indicate disease.

Meanwhile, promising collaborative research will continue to shed light on new advances in diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer.

As the activities and fitness director for world-renowned Lake Austin Spa Resort, Cindy Present was inspired by Blue Mind’s pivotal research to create The Ripple Effect, a new series of more than 30 waterbased activities for overnight guests using the property’s three pools and lakeshore. It’s the latter that most excites Present, a true water baby: “There is no other destination spa in the world with the signature Lake Fit classes we have.”

Set on the calming shores of Lake Austin facing the Balcones Canyonlands Nature Preserve, the 40-room resort beckons guests to enjoy the water with amenities that range from lakeside hammocks and outdoor dining areas to the pools and dock fully stocked with kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, and more. Its innovative health and wellness programming keeps the property at the top of “Best of” lists for destination spas.

The Ripple Effect lineup includes instructor-led activities like the “On the Lake” cycling class, which involves highintensity interval training sets on hydrobikes, and the AquaStretch Myofascial Release, a massage service that

AND PASSION.”—CINDY PRESENT

relieves aches and tension in a warm pool. Present strongly recommends the Meditative Morning Pedal or Paddle, a group activity where guests can kayak, paddleboard, or hydrobike along the shores of the Nature Preserve. “The rhythm of the paddles or pedals is meditative; the water calms our minds and resets us to our purpose and passion,” Present says.

Instructors include Monica Gutierrez, the spa’s lead AquaStretch therapist, who conducts floating meditation classes in the New Englandinspired Pool Barn.

Present, a watersports coach, leads the lake activities. “No matter what the activity or how hard I go at it, when I’m on the lake, I’m always more fulfilled and centered,”

says Present, who also volunteers for two nonprofits that use water activities to help people battling illness or stress.

What would a typical “Ripple Effect” day look like? Start with a Morning Meditative Pedal or Paddle and breakfast by the lake at the outdoor dining arbor, followed

by Boaga (a boat and yoga hike), then an

AquaStretch session.

After a lakeside lunch, take a Lake Fit class like the kayak and waterfall hike and then indulge in a spa treatment like the Quench Body Wrap.

NAILING IT THE AUSTIN OUTPOST OF NEW YORK’S TENOVERTEN SALON HAS ITS FINGER ON THE PULSE OF SUMMER’S MANI-PEDI TRENDS.

“MOON MANICURES ARE ALSO A VERY POPULAR DESIGN, VERY PRETTY.” —NADINE ABRAMCYK

76 AUSTINWAY.COM

After conquering the concrete jungle with four nail salons in New York, Texas natives Nadine Abramcyk and Adair Ilyinsky hand-picked the hip South Congress Hotel as the site for their first TenOverTen salon outside the Big Apple— and the salon’s emphasis on all-natural, healthy nails has made it a huge hit since its opening in the fall. One big difference Abramcyk has noticed between the two cities is that more Austin patrons request nail art; the salon here has several talented technicians on hand to meet that demand.

“What I see as a big trend in nail art is ombré for manicures,” she says. “People love doing every finger a slightly different shade. Moon manicures are also a very popular design, very pretty.” The latter combines two colors: one as a crescent on the base, the other on the rest of the nail. Although many Austinites have opted for blue nails, a bright red shade with coral undertones is ideal for summer. “It is universally flattering for every type of skin tone,” says Abramcyk, who recommends the Ludlow shade in TenOverTen’s custom line of polish. When in doubt, customers can always stay classic with a fresh, nude tone on their hands and feet. “If someone doesn’t want to go bold, a chic summer nude can go a long way,” she says. 1603 S.

Makeup artist Dick Page used bronzer at the Michael Kors Spring/ Summer 2016 show to create a look he describes as “pared down, clean, and healthy.”

STYLE TIP: Guerlain’s (ABOVE) Olivier Echaudemaison suggests applying bronzer with a big, fluffy brush in the shape of the number three from forehead to chin, but insists on keeping the application as “simple as possible.”

HIGH-TECH BEAUTY: Yves Saint Laurent’s Les Sahariennes Bronzing Stones (BELOW) boast beauty-enhancing squalene—a fatty acid found in plants and vegetable oils—which leaves skin super moisturized.

If the past few years on the runway are any indication, au naturel skin tones are here to stay. “In the ’80s, an intense sun tan was the trend,” says Olivier Echaudemaison, Guerlain’s creative director of 16 years.

“Today, [the look is] lighter and much softer. It needs to be elegant.”

Newly released formulas pack hydrating extracts and ultra-fine pigments for a velvety but sheer finish.

“There are far better texture and color options than the heavy, orange-y products of the past,” says Dick Page, who created this year’s fresh look at the Michael Kors Spring/Summer show. Yves

Saint Laurent’s new Les Sahariennes Bronzing Stones ($55), a line of three creamy-matte powders, are micro-milled to create a silky consistency, while light enhancing agents deliver a glow-y finish.

The first brand to introduce bronzer back in 1984, with its iconic

Terracotta Bronzing Powder ($53), Guerlain remains at the forefront of technology with four new shades to complement the paler rose and golden tones of blondes and brunettes. And if you are seeking something a little softer still, Guerlain’s Joli Teint ($54) contains less

intense pigments to create a natural glow. Because when it comes to faking the bronze, less is more.

GOING FOR THE GOLD SWISS WATCHMAKERS AND CHAMPION ATHLETES TEAM UP FOR TIMEPIECES THAT OFFER SPLIT-SECOND ACCURACY AS WELL AS WINNING STYLE.

The origin of precision timing in sports is shrouded in lore, but we do know that in 1932 Omega sent 30 state-of-the-art chronographs to the Olympic games in Los Angeles, providing not only the first official timekeeping technology, but also the first record of 1/10th of a second timing. Over the following eight decades, a number of brands proved their expertise across the sporting spectrum in the role of official timer and through longstanding partnerships. From sailing and equestrian competitions to world-class tennis, golf, motor racing, and beyond, Swiss makers have pushed their technical know-how to the limit, building reliable instruments that help competitors of all stripes attain excellence— and perhaps even that elusive gold medal.

JENNIFER CHENOWETH NO ONE UNDERSTANDS AUSTINITES’ PASSION FOR PLACE LIKE THIS VISUAL ARTIST, WHOSE XYZ ATLAS SHOWS WHERE LOCALS HAVE EXPERIENCED THEIR HIGHS AND LOWS ACROSS THE CITY.

BY KATHY BLACKWELL PHOTOGRAPHY BY JENNY SATHNGAM

WHERE IN AUSTIN HAVE you laughed the hardest? Where did you fall in love? Where did you have your worst night?

These types of questions are at the heart of XYZ Atlas, a collaborative multimedia project by local artist Jennifer Chenoweth that illustrates how we feel about places around the city—from the Capitol to the Continental Club—by using art, technology, and psychology. Over the course of three years, more than 500 Austinites responded to Chenoweth’s surveys. Based on a color wheel inspired by psychologist Robert Plutchik’s theory of emotions, (lemon yellow for joy, dark green for terror, and so forth) and employing GIS (geospatial information systems) technology, she created The Hedonic Map of Austin, depicting our emotional connections, good and bad, with places that matter to us. From her first version in 2013 through the final 3-D map she unveiled during May’s West Austin Studio Tour, Austinites’ happiest place has never changed: It’s right there in a lemon-yellow peak over Barton Springs and Zilker Park.

“I thought people would just answer with two-word locations, but they told these rich stories,” says Chenoweth, 47. “Newcomers got to say why they picked being here—they came for an event or a vacation and they had these lifechanging events.” For natives and longtime residents, their answers were “a way to commemorate the spots where they’ve experienced their whole lives.” Chenoweth herself moved to Austin in 1996

88 AUSTINWAY.COM

to earn her MFA from UT and entrenched herself in the local scene with her Fisterra Studios and by founding Generous Art.org, which sells original artwork and gives some of the proceeds to local charities.

With Barton Springs as the high point on her Hedonic Map, she has worked closely with a favorite nonprofit, the Barton Creek Conservancy (bartonsprings conservancy.org), which hosted her XYZ Atlas finale in May as well as the summerlong exhibit at the Barton Springs Bathhouse.

XYZ Atlas also includes temporary art installations, a digital platform, a new catalog, and Dance of the Cosmos, a large solar-powered sculpture that opens with the sun.

The steel lotus flower, illustrating the emotion chart, was funded by a city grant and unveiled last spring at the Elisabet Ney Museum; it will move to its permanent home at Zilker Botanical Gardens this year.

Robert Whitehurst, whom Chenoweth started dating weeks after launching XYZ Atlas, became the fabricator for Dance and other works; the two married in March.

Chenoweth is applying for grants to help her fund the digital platform of XYZ Atlas so she can take it to other cities (she did a live mapping event at Texas A&M University last year). “The possibilities of art have completely changed through technology,” she says. Artwork from XYZ Atlas is on display through August at the Beverly S. Sheffield Education Center at Barton Springs Pool Bathhouse, 2201 Barton Springs Road; fisterrastudio.com

Jennifer Chenoweth (LEFT AND BOTTOM) jokes that she feels like “a dinosaur” because she can use power tools and has classical training, but she is learning the computer graphics program Rhino in order to do 3-D design. “Digital prints help art be more affordable for more people,” she notes. Her XYZ Atlas project also includes small sculptures (BELOW) based on the flowerlike color wheel of emotions (RIGHT) that’s also at the heart of The Hedonic Map of Austin (2015 VERSION, ON THE COVER).

WASHINGTON, DC

RONALD B E VE RLY THE HOWARD UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR IS DEVELOPING THE NEXT GENERATION OF PHOTOGRAPHERS BY LOOKING TO THE ART FORM’S PAST IN ORDER

When it comes to photographic techniques, Ronald Beverly, the head of the photography department at Howard University in Washington, DC, is a film purist— except when he isn’t. He grounds his own art—and insists that his students ground theirs—in an understanding of traditional practices, darkroom and all, even if 90 percent of the work he is shooting right now is digital. “I’m always accustomed to the complete loop from beginning to end, from image capture to presentation,” Beverly says.

Consider Nature’s Avatar, a kaleidoscopic series of digital giclées (printed on canvas) that look like something Google’s DeepDream program might generate.

They scan plainly as landscapes and vaguely as natural: rectilinear mandalas that emphasize form, pattern, and fractal geometry. Obviously, these are digital transformations. But Beverly’s black-and-white silver gelatin landscape prints are no less sharp and craggy.

Still, the 56-year-old artist is clear with his students that he prizes large-format film photography over digital. “It’s about craftsmanship first, and your meaning and message later,” he says. (Or as he likes to describe the digital-versus-film divide, “The microwave is quicker, but the food doesn’t taste as good.”) In the end, his overarching theme remains the same. “My goal,” says Beverly, “is to bring to light what we can’t see.” Ronald Beverly’s work will be on display at the MGM National Harbor when it opens this fall. 7100 Oxon Hill Road, Oxon Hill, 844-346-4664; mgmnationalharbor.com. boxlightstudios.prosite.com

NEW YORK CITY

LISA SCH U LTE THE NEON ARTIST IS TAKING A POP-CULTURE MEDIUM AND BENDING IT INTO SOMETHING ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED.

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BODE HELM

BY KARI MOLVAR

Lisa Schulte’s years of experience have taught her to “see” in light: “You just have to keep doing it... Then you have the natural feel to shape things within you,” says the neon artist, shown here with Untitled Wood Series #1 (2014).

COVER, AT RIGHT: All Your Life You Were Only Waiting for This Moment to Arise (2015).

After a freak accident in childhood, Lisa Schulte lost her sight for three months. It was a moment that shaped the rest of her life. “One doesn’t take sight for granted when you get it back,” says the 60-year-old artist. “It changed my sense of light.” Now, as a visual artist known for her neon work, she’s constantly surrounded by an electric glow. “Many artists take a stab at using neon, but only a few in the world are true experts,” says Blair Clarke of New York’s Voltz Clarke Gallery, which will mount an exhibition of Schulte’s pieces this summer.

Schulte is largely self-taught and came to neon through the event production industry—she had her own signage shop in Los Angeles, Nights of Neon, in the mid-’80s. “I just reached a point where I had so much experience in how glass works that I started creating three-dimensional sculptures with neon,” she says.

These days, Schulte muses that she can literally “see” in neon—and she’s helping the next generation see it too, by donating a work of art to be auctioned for the artsmentoring nonprofit Free Arts NYC (freeartsnyc.org).

“You just have to keep doing it, doing it, doing it,” she says of her work. “Then you have the natural feel to shape things within you.” “Summer Selections,” an exhibition featuring Schulte’s work, runs July 1–August 31 at Voltz Clarke Gallery, 141 E. 62nd St., Second Fl., 212933-0291; voltzclarke.com

When photographer Michael Dweck, 58, published The End: Montauk, N.Y., in 2004, an homage to the Hamptons’ surfing culture and sun-streaked landscape, the initial print run of 5,000 copies sold out in less than three weeks. Collectors will have another chance to grab the book this summer, though: In July, Dweck will publish 300 copies of a new edition of The End. The $3,000 clothbound volume includes 85 previously unpublished images, as well as an essay by photographer (and Montauk resident) Peter Beard and an 11-by-14-inch gelatin silver print (Surf’s Up, Adriana, or Lilla), numbered and signed. To celebrate its release and preserve the shorelines depicted in the pages, a portion of the proceeds of the book will go toward the Surfrider Foundation (surfrider.org), Oceana (oceana.org), and Splash (splash.org), which help maintain US waterways and beaches.

For Dweck, the new edition is also a chance to expand on the book’s original narrative—the spellbinding allure of summer and surfing, and a way of life that’s fading away. “The work was my way of freezing Montauk from when I was a kid,” says Dweck, who grew up in Nassau County, Long Island, and began visiting the seaside community in the ’70s. “It was about a feeling—of what it’s like to be free, young, and 19 again.” The End: Montauk, N.Y.

BILLY AL BENGSTON

Nicknamed “Rainbow” in high school for his multicolored outfits (“I’d do a complete wardrobe change at lunch,” he says), Billy Al Bengston, photographed in his Venice studio in front of Milwaukee Monster (2016, FAR LEFT) and Ascot (2016), has been a lively fixture on the LA arts scene for nearly 60 years.

COVER, BOTTOM LEFT: Riders of Destiny (1966).

PHOTOGRAPHY BY BODE HELM (BENGSTON); BRIAN FORREST (RIDERS OF DESTINY )

AN L.A. LEGEND ARTS ON. BY MICHAEL HERREN In the pantheon of postwar California Cool artists— adventurers with names such as Ruscha, Price, Bell, Altoon, Irwin, and Graham—Billy Al Bengston is the trickster god.

He’s one thing; he’s its other—an entertaining introvert who’s naturally the life of any party but who’s also a natural in his studio, alone, a party of one. A self-proclaimed pistonhead who has surfed toes-on-the-nose and raced motorcycles for cash and glory—and who then translated this love of speedy sleekness and slick sheen into motifs and finishes in his paintings.

Born in Dodge City, Kansas, at the height of the Depression, Bengston and his family settled in LA in the late 1940s, just in time for high school, where he developed a passion for ceramics before switching to painting. He then proceeded to have five solo shows at the famed Ferus Gallery on North La Cienega Boulevard between 1958 and 1963, and at age 82 he continues to strive to paint a pretty picture—noting, however, that his idea of a pretty picture might not be yours. “Painting, it’s like self-flagellation,” he says.

“You sort of like it, and hope other people like what you did while you were beating yourself.”

Bengston is donating a hand-colored monoprint, Untitled (1972), which will be auctioned on July 16 at Summer on Seventh, the annual LA fundraisercum-arts happening benefiting Inner-City Arts (innercityarts.org), a nonprofit that provides underserved youth in Los Angeles with access to free arts education. Bengston’s work is featured in “Human Interest: Portraits from the Whitney’s Collection,” which runs April 27, 2016 through February 12, 2017, at the Whitney Museum of American Art, 99 Gansevoort St., New York, 212-570-3600; whitney.org. billyalbengston.com

MEG SALIGMAN THE CELEBRATED MURALIST HAS CREATED SOME OF THE CITY’S MOST ICONIC PUBLIC ARTWORKS. THIS SUMMER, SHE REIMAGINES TWO OF THEM. BY JOANN GRECO As the creator of such beloved Philadelphia images as Our Flag Unfurled, artist Meg Saligman has become an integral part of the vibrant cultural life that drew her to the city. Painted on the side of a warehouse near the Benjamin Franklin Bridge, the mural was an immediate response to the events of 9/11, but now Saligman, 50, is meticulously restoring Flag so it will be ready to welcome the thousands coming to Philadelphia for the Democratic National Convention in July. Then she will turn her attention to a new Project HOME residence to serve the city’s homeless: More than 100,000 prayer ribbons from the public installation she created for Pope Francis’s historic visit to Philadelphia last September will form part of the building’s façade.

Saligman’s oeuvre has grown to include private commissions in Mexico City, Ecuador, Tanzania, and a handful of American cities. Last year she completed her largest work ever, the 42,000-square-foot M.L. King Mural: We Will Not Be Satisfied Until... in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a richly hued tribute to an AfricanAmerican neighborhood. “I’m very proud of my body of work,” she says. “It’s a great feeling when I drive by one and can say, ‘I did that!’” megsaligman.com

Participating in Philly’s Mural Arts program offers Meg Saligman “three things I absolutely love: painting on a large scale, being outside, and working with people,” she says.

Seen here, Common Threads, an eight-story mural she painted in 1998, features local high school students mirroring the poses of antique figurines.

SUSH MACHIDA WITH HIS UNAPOLOGETIC EASTMEETS-WEST FUN FUSION STYLE, THIS POP MURALIST HAS LEFT A STRONG IMPRINT ON THE CITY.

BY KRISTEN PETERSON

PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY OF THE ARTIST

Japanese-born painter Sush Machida, 43, has made a distinctive mark on the city of Las Vegas with his brilliantly colorful Pop murals. His work includes the large-scale mural he painted with Tim Bavington on Downtown’s Emergency Arts building and 2,000 square feet of peaceful and happy murals for Hope Corridor at Clark County’s Child Haven, which he supports for its work in protecting children from abuse.

Machida’s artistic lexicon is vast: Waves and clouds create minimalist forms that bring Japanese woodcut traditions solidly into the now; brightly hued tigers represent Japanese symbols of luck; and other works teem with colorful fish, air fresheners, perfume bottles, and cigarette packs.

The pop muralist is making his mark on Las Vegas in other ways, too: Machida is donating a work of art through Vegas’s Art of the City project to assist in the massive fundraising effort to build The Modern (the modernlv.org), a contemporary art museum planned for Downtown’s burgeoning arts neighborhood. Of Machida’s work, renowned art critic David Hickey says, “It’s always kind of crazy, but it’s never too much, never more than you want. It’s just right—exquisite and graceful. It lives on the surface.” Machida’s work appears in “Tilting the Basin: Contemporary Art of Nevada” at the Nevada Museum of Art, August 5–October 23; nevadaart.org. sushmachida.com

Sush Machida’s exuberant style has earned him fans like Los Angeles Times art critic David Pagel, who writes, “Pop art never looked more scorchingly gorgeous or wickedly Zen.” COVER, AT LEFT: Uneri-zu (2016).

CHICAGO

NICK CAVE THE PERFORMANCE ARTIST AND SOUNDSUIT INVENTOR TACKLES TOUGH SOCIAL ISSUES WITH HIS STUNNING FOUND-OBJECT CREATIONS.

A must-have for any contemporary art museum or top-level collector, Nick Cave’s instantly recognizable soundsuits—exuberant, brightly colored wearable sculptures adorned with everything from buttons and hair to toys and other found objects— have made the 57-year-old professor in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago’s fashion design department one of the most sought-after artists in the world.

Although festive in spirit, the multimedia creations are rooted in a dark moment: the 1991 police beating of Rodney King after a high-speed car chase in Los Angeles. Soon thereafter, Cave found himself gathering twigs and constructing a kind of protective garment-sculpture that served as a prototype for what he later termed soundsuits. He has made more than 500 of them since.

Cave, who grew up in rural Missouri and began his studies at the Kansas City (Missouri) Art Institute, is part of a growing trend of community engagement in which an artist becomes what he calls a “cultural change agent.” Whether it’s with his soundsuits, sculptures, installations, or community projects, Cave seeks to transport people into a contemplative, healing, and transformative realm. “I’m creating this space,” he says, “that allows one to imagine.” “Nick Cave: Until” opens at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art on October 16. 1040 Mass MoCA Way, North Adams, MA, 413-662-2111; massmoca.org. nickcaveart.com

With its roots in issues like gun violence and racial inequity, Nick Cave’s colorful art ultimately seeks to transport viewers into a realm that allows for healing and transformation.

PETE R TU NNE Y WITH HIS GIANT POLAROIDS COLLECTION, THE ARTIST, PHILANTHROPIST, AND ENTREPRENEUR IS CAPTURING MOMENTS AND CREATING TREASURE. BY JON WARECH

PHOTOGRAPHY BY JOHN REUTER (TUNNEY)

Peter Tunney is living in the present. His famed Grattitude, The Time is Always Now, and Enough is Possible paintings hang around the world. “The overarching theme is that I hate that we’re getting older, I hate that time is slipping by,” he says. “I really love being here.”

Tunney’s obsession with time is what makes his latest project, Giant Polaroids, so interesting. It involves a large Polaroid camera—one of only five made, manufactured in the late ’70s and used by Andy Warhol and Chuck Close—that produces huge 20-by-24-inch photos. But film for the camera is running out. The 55-year-old artist takes pictures of “whatever comes into my mind that day” and has partnered with the estate of photographer Bert Stern to shoot Stern’s photos of Marilyn Monroe, the last taken before she died.

“You’re like nose to nose with Marilyn Monroe telling you, ‘Come and get me, baby,’” he says of the process.

Of course, long after all the film for the giant camera is gone, Tunney’s work will still be making its mark. As part of Ocean Drive’s Art of the City initiative, he has agreed to donate a work to benefit Artists for Peace and Justice (apjnow.org), a nonprofit that addresses issues of poverty around the world.

“If we ran out [of film] tomorrow, then c’est la vie,” he says. “It would just make me treasure these pictures more, and would make me think I should have done more Marilyns.” Tunney’s studio is located at 220 NW 26th St., Miami, 646-245-7904; petertunney.com What Peter Tunney (ABOVE RIGHT, artdirecting Mr. Brainwash at a Giant Polaroids shoot) calls “stuff that I treasure”—from Cap’n Crunch boxes to bleached-out beer cans to a childhood Lassie book—has a way of becoming part of his art, which may explain how his paint-smudged jeans wound up in the piece Cailin Double Exposed in My Jeans (2015) on Ocean Drive’s cover (LEFT).

It’s been 40 years since artist Richard Carter was Herbert Bayer’s assistant in Aspen, but the Bauhaus architect and artist’s influence is clearly present in Carter’s newest series of works. “It’s in my blood,” he says of the modernist movement known for bold lines, stark shapes, and bright colors. Titled “Mandalas Considered,” Carter’s new exhibition is the fruit of two years of painting and drawing. “I got interested in the mandala, not in the spiritual way but in a formal way, the structure of it,” he says about the geometric pattern used to represent the universe in many Eastern cultures.

A cofounder of the Aspen Art Museum, Carter, 70, is deeply rooted in the Aspen Valley’s arts scene, serving on the board of the Art Base, the nonprofit that will be the beneficiary of an Aspen Peak summer fundraiser where one of his pieces will be auctioned off.

During a residency at Anderson Ranch Arts Center last summer, he was inspired by Takashi Nakazato’s studio and created three mandala series with the Japanese symbol for a cherry blossom at their center. “They’ve evolved over different ways in the past two years,” he says, “but they all have some reference to scientific notation.” The new series visibly transitions from complex, physics-centered pieces to modern, simplified, more abstract works. The same could be said of Carter himself. “Mandalas Considered” runs June 3–25 at The Launchpad in Carbondale, 76 S. Fourth St., 970-9631680; launchpadcarbondale.com. “Drawings” runs June 10–July 1 at the Art Base in Basalt, 99 Midland Spur, 970-927-4123; theartbase.org. richardcarterart.com

BY LISA PIERPONT

A fruit sticker, a plastic twist tie, a price tag: Rachel Perry collects, cherishes, and creates world-class art out of them—thousands and thousands of them. The current artist-in-residence at Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Perry, 54, has spent her career exploring how our identity is defined by modern consumer culture.

She’s a collector first, hand-peeling labels and meticulously preserving them on wax paper; then, she is a sculptor, photographer, performance artist, and painter.

Her mission: “What I am doing here is trying to comment on the daily life of one small life on this planet as it may relate to art, and that is all.” Born in Tokyo, Perry earned a BA from Connecticut College and a diploma and fifth-year certificate from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She was honored with the Catherine Boettcher Fellowship at the MacDowell Colony and is a two-time winner of the Massachusetts Cultural Council Award for Excellence in Drawing and Sculpture. Her work is displayed in numerous museums and private collections around the world. Her solo show, “What Do You Really Want?,” is currently on view at—literally on the outside wall of—the Gardner Museum. “Rachel Perry: What Do You Really Want?” runs through June at the Gardner Museum, New Wing Façade, 25 Evans Way, 617-566-1401; gardnermuseum.org. Perry’s work will also be featured at “First Light: A Decade of Collecting at the ICA,” which runs August 17, 2016 through January 16, 2017, at the Institute of Contemporary Art, 25 Harbor Shore Dr., 617-478-3100; icaboston.org. rachelperrystudio.com

Rachel Perry painstakingly sculpts tin foil into letters.

Language’s inability to really communicate “what we humans are trying to describe” is an ongoing fascination for the artist. ABOVE, FROM LEFT: Lost in My Life (fruit stickers) (2010); Lost in My Life (wrapped books) (2010). COVER, AT LEFT: Lost in My Life (silver twist ties #1) (2011).

B&B ITALIA’S GRAND NEW AUSTIN SHOWROOM IS THE IDEAL SHOWCASE FOR THE ICONIC UP CHAIR AND OTTOMAN, DESIGNED IN 1969 BY GAETANO PESCE.

During its half-century of high-end design, luxury furniture maker B&B Italia, which opened its spacious Austin showroom this year, has produced memorable pieces that stand the test of time.

Among the store’s best-sellers are two pieces from the iconic Up Series, originally designed in 1969 by legendary artist and architect Gaetano Pesce, which not only celebrate the technological advances of that time but make a political statement as well—one that still resonates today. The voluptuously curved, womb-like Up5 chair and the round Up6 ottoman represent Pesce’s sympathy to the plight of strong women as prisoners of society’s prejudices and fears. “Along these lines, I liked the idea of giving this armchair a feminine shape with a ball and chain, the traditional image of the prisoner,” Pesce says. In 2000, the chair and ottoman set were reproduced with updated upholstery and new manufacturing techniques, and a few years ago B&B unveiled the Junior version designed for children ages three and up.

Now president of the board at Big Medium, Kreeger was among the first to sign a lease at Canopy; his multi-room space includes a workshop with a garage door for letting in the light and letting out kiln heat.

Background: The abstract artist, known for her paintings with circular pops of color (such as those on display at South Congress Hotel’s Café No Sé), has been at Canopy for a year. The former Dell employee likes to tell “a color story,” and is inspired by objects like an Hermès scarf or a dress.

Although windowless, her small studio feels light and airy.

Background Music: Grateful Dead, Van Morrison, and The Band (she cherishes a photo of the group she purchased from her neighbor, Modern Rocks Gallery).

Quote: “I was drawn to Canopy by EAST [the East Austin Studio Tour] and the collaborative nature. It’s a true working space.” Greenberg’s solo show is July 7-25 at the Wally Workman Gallery, 202 W. Sixth St., 512-472-7428; diana-greenberg.squarespace.com MoDern rocKs gallery

Background: The Air Force veteran and 2012 graduate of St. Edward’s has a gift for inducing chills with her statement-making pieces using rolled pieces of paper.

For example, her “Letters of Sacrifice,” a memorial on display at the Pentagon, is made up of condolence letter for each of the 6,858 servicemen and women killed in action since 9/11, and “A Battle Lost,” featuring rolled paper made of uniforms to represent veteran suicides. Hassin works out of her Canopy space but also holds paperrolling events at other locations, working with veterans and other people connected to her art.

Background Music: Hassin likes to balance her solemn topics with upbeat music by artists like Taylor Swift.

CUCINA COUTURE DOLCE & GABBANA REDEFINES “COOL” WITH ITS LATEST DESIGNER COLLABORATION.

“We really do draw endless inspiration from Italy,” says Stefano Gabbana, half of the forever trendsetting duo behind Dolce & Gabbana, which, for the first time, has partnered with luxe Italian appliance brand Smeg on a limited-edition collection of hand-painted refrigerators.

“Both Domenico [Dolce] and I love our roots and where we come from… it’s almost as if we are giving back to Italy everything we feel it has given to us.”

Each of the 100 Fab 28 Smeg refrigerators is unique, handpainted, and signed by a Sicilian artist—including mother-daughter duo Adriana Zambonelli and Tiziana Nicosia; craftsmen Biagio Castilletti and Damiano Rotella; and brothers Antonio and Giuseppe Bevilacqua, both ceramics artists—and features iconic Sicilian images such as lemons, cart wheels, and the trinacria, the head of Medusa surrounded by three bent running legs. “Vibrant colors, references to the local culture—it’s everything that we love and that reminds us of Italy,” says Domenico Dolce of the refrigerators, which retail for €30,000 (approximately $34,000). “Much of our work is all about the details. That’s something that’s always present and part of our brand DNA—this project is no exception.” smeg.com

Ranch, Reimagined A young fAmily cAlls on Architect Chris sanders to work his mAgic on An outdAted fixer-upper in tArrytown.

By MiMi FauCett photography By MerriCk ales

Austin’s tight real estate market is challenging homebuyers to be creative, especially those who want to stay in the urban core.

Craig and Kate Chick were drawn to Central Austin’s historic Tarrytown for their growing family (they now have two children), but with limited options, they took a chance on a 1960s ranch-style home that was begging for a facelift. Built as a duplex, its past renovations were painfully evident in the mismatched flooring and oddly placed, light-blocking walls.

The couple tasked builder Jason Miars and architect Chris Sanders with transforming the unsightly midcentury dwelling into a lightfilled, family-friendly home close to downtown Austin, where they both work.

The unusual site presented early hurdles for Sanders.

“The home had a pretty significant footprint, so we didn’t have any square footage that we could expand outward,” explains the architect, who actually had to reduce the first floor in order to build out the second story. The other problem was privacy. The couple wanted generous outdoor space for al fresco entertaining, but three of the sides faced the street.

Rather than opting for bluntly protruding wraparound balconies, Sanders penetrated the building’s envelope with open-air lounge areas and took advantage of its wooded border.

Determined to incorporate sunlight into all the rooms, Sanders centralized the home

office, kitchen, and enviable mudroom, and he cracked open the northern-facing roof with dormer windows that invite a soft glow into the sequestered spaces.

Sunlight flows liberally through the connected common areas that surround its center, courtesy of floor-to-ceiling windows.

Although the homeowners describe their style as traditional, Sanders was quick to note their interest in a more modern aethetic.

To merge these styles, the family enlisted interior designer Christen Ales. “We pushed them to keep the decor timeless,” recalls Ales, who cast traditional furniture silhouettes with punchy upholstery and dangled modern artwork above existing antiques. The architect intentionally left exposed roof joists and textured wood surfaces to “roughen up” the clean lines.

The color palette is toned-down but fresh. Pops of blue-gray and yellow are set to a warm backdrop of knotty oak flooring and Sherwin-Williams Dover White.

Ales appointed the space with kid-friendly materials like the FLOR carpet tiles in the living room and hard-wearing vinyl on the cocktail ottoman and breakfast banquette. Hints of glamour include snazzy light fixtures, many from Currey and Co. After a yearlong renovation, the family are now settled into their airy four-bedroom abode.

“We love being close to downtown,” Kate Chick says. “It was never an option to move out of Austin’s urban core.”

What started with the search for a wedding gift in Colombia led to the creation of an international business centered on colorful, joyful, handpainted ceramics. Part-time Austinite Melissa Moriarty, who has a home in Bogota, launched Azulina in 2013 after walking into a shop in El Carmen de Viboral and finding stacks of blue and white dishes, all painted freestyle by hand. Moriarty now works with the female artisans on complete lines of dishware, many featuring patterns inspired by the floral countryside—perfect for summer dinner parties and bridal registries. Moriarty donates a portion of proceeds to the Marina Orth Foundation, which helps underprivileged schools in El Carmen.

Austin designers HeatHer blue Har vicH And MereditH ellis Are in the pink this seAson.

Summer rosé is not only the drink of the moment—it’s the color as well. Favorite Austin interior designers Heather Blue Harkovich of Heather Scott Home & Design and Meredith Ellis of James Showroom both are in love with sunset and blush tones this season. Here, they share their favorite ways to think pink this summer.

124 AUSTINWAY.com

HeatHer Blue HarkovicH

For those who are drawn to the calming effect of blue and green tones, shades of blush can be a trendier alternative, Harkovich says. “Our favorite summer trends are blush tones as a romantic and playful pop of color.

As the weather warms up, it’s fun to pull warmer color tones into your décor. Soft pinks and

corals pop beautifully against an otherwise neutral space. Blush tones are subtle, elegant, and serene.” To enhance the rosy glow, Harkovich is drawn to the current trend of picking statement pieces that feature semi-precious stones and crystals. “They add a touch of sparkle and interest to a space.” 10622 Burnet Road, 512-3426899; heatherscotthome.com

Harkovich looks for statement pieces like her retail shop's crystal blooms with amethyst (far left), $379.99, and large brass shell with Selenite crystals (left), $219.99. Of the latter, Harkovich says: “Turtle motifs are a classic home accent, but often coastal décor can lack flair or elegance. Turtle shells symbolize protection, safety, and, most importantly, home.”

Go AheAd, Blush

Harkovich favors functional accent pieces like her shop’s stylish white lacquered box with gold and crystal, $299.99.

Coleen and Co.’s Audrey Lantern can be customordered through James in blush with gold gilt trim.

MEREDITH ELLIS

Not only have clients been requesting shades of pink in their décor schemes, but the designers Ellis carries in her smartly appointed James Showroom are producing beautiful fabrics and wallpaper in those soft tones as well. “I know that pink may surprise some people, and some might be afraid to use it, but pink is one of those great subtle neutrals,” Ellis says.

“Pink has been scientifically proven to have a calming effect, and what

more do you want to do in the summer than relax and be calm?” 1411 W. Sixth St., 512-236-1006; jamesshowroom.com

This classic pink geometric Oscar De La Renta wool rug from Elson & Co., available at James, softens up cool wood and stone floors.

ABOVE: A James Showroom custom pink sofa in fabric by Kathryn Ireland is set off by Pink City wallpaper by Jennifer Shorto, which depicts the city of Jaipur, India, painted pink—the color of hospitality—to welcome the Prince of Wales and Queen Victoria in 1876. “I’m not afraid of brown furniture, but it should be balanced by something modern. In the same breath, something extremely artistic and avant-garde needs something more tailored,” Meredith Ellis says.

Look for orange to complement pink, advises Ellis, who is drawn to this ethnicinspired Mally Skok Ikat Crazy linen at James.

“We all tend to do a bit more entertaining in the summertime,” says Ellis, “and I absolutely adore these pale-pink Confetti Glasses from Hawkins at JM Drygoods.” 215 S. Lamar Blvd., Suite C, 512-579-0303; jmdrygoods.com

25 YEARS OF THE UMLAUF The Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum celebrated 25 years of bringing beauty and art to the Austin area with the highly anticipated Umlauf Garden Party. Over 1,100 of Austin’s most elegant and philanthropic people gathered at the gardens for the occasion.

Guests were greeted with Tito’s cocktails served out of the original travel bus and, upon arrival into the gardens, given their official Garden Party wine glasses for the assortment of Twin Liquors wine. Sounds by the Nash Hernandez Orchestra filled the air as people strolled along the garden paths where Austin’s hottest chefs were serving up an array of dishes. The evening was truly a celebration of Austin’s most beautiful people, scenery, and art.

It’s critical that all of us recycle properly. In fact, did you know recycling right is the #1 thing we can do to help the environment and the economy? But let’s face it, it’s not always easy to know what items go in which bin.

That's why there is now a national movement to begin displaying standardized labels on bins ... to help people recycle more and help people recycle right. The standardized labels are proving to increase recycling levels by 50-100% and to help people recycle right!

To learn more about this nonprofit solution and to select the standardized labels that work for your recycling program, visit:

During the warm months, tourists line the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge at sunset to watch the bats take off in search of their evening meal.

bat city When more than a million Winged nocturnal creatures summer in austin, things can occasionally turn upside doWn.

The sign outside Forever 21 at Barton Creek Square this spring couldn’t have been more blunt: for the safety of our customers, we are currently unable to open the store due to a bat.

Well, of course, due to a bat. Out-of-towners might have been befuddled, but to Austinites, nothing makes more sense than a store having to close because there’s a bat hanging out inside. Every year, from March through November, 1.5 million

144 AUSTINWAY.com

Mexican free-tailed bats summer beneath the Ann Richards Congress Avenue Bridge (bat-friendly because of the many small built-in nooks and gaps).

It’s the obligation of every tourist in town to line up along the bridge at sunset and applaud in wonder as the bats swoop out in one massive dark wave.

Austin is the bats’ version of La Jolla. So, inevitably, they wind up in stores and restaurants. You’ll even see signs in the elevators at Seton Memorial Hospital:

don’t touch the bats!

Construction workers replacing mortar on the West Sixth Street Bridge recently brought their work to a screeching halt when they ran into a bat colony; they had to switch up the pipes so the bats could get in and out safely. Yes, we Austinites truly love our bats. A bat statue at South Congress Avenue and Barton Springs Road honors our favorite winged mammal, as do sweet programs such as the nonprofit

Austin Bat Cave, which teaches children and teenagers to write.

We are a city of nocturnal creatures. Just go to Sixth Street after 2 am and watch the masses trying to find their Uber.

And then drive by Magnolia Café and note the line forming under the sorry, we’re open sign.

But our bats serve a purpose that their night-loving counterparts do not (that we know of): They eat mosquitos. That’s definitely worth a statue.
