EVENTS IN FORT WORTH:

Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth The work of Brooklyn-based artist Brian Donnelly, who makes his art under the moniker "KAWS," is the subject of the first Focus exhibition at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth for the 2011–2012 season. KAWS's vast body of work includes graffiti (early in his career), murals, paintings, and sculpture. Following along the continuum of Pop art, his work critiques contemporary consumer culture, blurring the boundaries between it and the art world. Building an artistic language, which includes altered forms of familiar animated characters, such as Mickey Mouse, the Michelin Man, and SpongeBob SquarePants, his cartoonlike hybrids are often depicted in various states of the human condition. The Modern is at 3200 Darnell St. Information: themodern.org.
