Entrance to Phil Collins installation
I had a great time in Dallas. CAA was fun and a bit overwhelming. I wish I had more time to so I could've seen more of the conference. I can not thank the school enough for making the trip possible.
Attendees of the conference were granted free admission into some of the museums in Dallas. Lauren and I were able to catch Phil Collins video installation entitled The World Won't Listen at the Dallas Museum of Art.

The World Won't Listen

"Filmed in Colombia, Turkey, and Indonesia, the video trilogy features fans of the influential British indie-rock band The Smiths performing karaoke versions of tracks from their 1987 compilation album The World Won’t Listen. Along with the first-ever public presentation of Collins’ completed trilogy, the Dallas exhibition will also include a series of works based on letters that Morrissey, the band’s iconic lead singer, wrote as a teenager to London music weeklies"

I wasn't crazy about the installation but I did enjoy some aspects of it. Three rooms were sectioned for each video and one could walk around to see all of them as the people performed the songs. I was able to check out some work by Cosima Von Bonin who I blogged about back in January. They also had Felix Gonzalez Torres' Perfect Lovers which was really...I guess I'll use the word touching.
