Lecture Series: 'You Stretched Diagonally Across It: Contemporary Tapestry'
Join us for a compelling three-part lecture series presented in conjunction with Dallas Contemporary’s current exhibition, You Stretched Diagonally Across It: Contemporary Tapestry. Each session is facilitated by local Art History professors who delve deeper into the ideas and histories that shape the works on display.
In this second lecture of the series, Amy Freund will address the long history and unpredictable futures of tapestry - as a technical achievement, as a political tool, and as a means of spinning raw animal and vegetable materials into human (and non-human) art.
Amy Freund is an associate professor and holds the Kleinheinz Endowment for the Arts and Education Endowed Chair in art history at Southern Methodist University. She is a specialist in eighteenth-century European art, with particular interests in the history of portraiture and in the visual representation of animals. Her most recent book, Noble Beasts: Hunters and Hunted in Eighteenth-Century French Art, which will appear with Yale University Press in 2026, analyzes the representation of masculinity, animality, and political agency in hunting art.
Coming up:
Tiffany Floyd, Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art at UNT, will lead subsequent lectures on October 11.

Taking place on select second Wednesdays of the month before we open to the public, parents and caregivers are invited to bring children up to 5 years old for a guided stroll through our current exhibitions.

DC EMPTY: Water Work
Water Work
Friday, 17 October 2025 | 8:00 PM
$10 GA | Free for Members
161 Glass St. Dallas, TX
Dallas Contemporary’s performance and film programming series DC EMPTY continues with Water Work, a duet by dance artists Lauren Kravitz (Dallas, TX) and Shantel Prado (Queens, NY).
Water Work draws inspiration from American cultures surrounding water. From pool decks to beach shores and the communal behaviors tied to leisure, sport, and gathering around aquatic spaces. Through a mix of improvisation and movement inspired by synchronized swimming and water athletics, the work ebbs between organic fluidity and sharp athletic form.
Created in collaboration with Tina Lee (set design), Yve Bee (costume design), Junlin He (costume design), and Silas C. Edgar (sound design), Water Work envelops audiences in the textures, sounds, and gestures of shared water environments.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Lauren Kravitz is a Dallas-based freelance dance artist, alumna of Booker T. Washington HSPVA and NYU Tisch School of the Arts, and founding contributor to Agora Artists. She has performed nationally with Seán Curran Company, Take Dance, and Indah Walsh Dance Company.
Shantel Prado is a Queens-based dance and video artist, graduate of NYU Tisch and the Salzburg Experimental Academy of Dance, and co-creator of duet works with Kravitz. She also serves as Marketing Manager for the Mark Morris Dance Group.

Lecture Series: 'You Stretched Diagonally Across It: Contemporary Tapestry'
Join us for a compelling three-part lecture series presented in conjunction with Dallas Contemporary’s current exhibition, You Stretched Diagonally Across It: Contemporary Tapestry. Each session is facilitated by local Art History professors who delve deeper into the ideas and histories that shape the works on display.
In this first lecture, Dr. Lori Diel will contextualize some of the works in the exhibition through a discussion and consideration of the primacy and sacrality of textiles in the ancient Americas and Latin America.
Lori Boornazian Diel is the L.H. Favrot Professor of Humanities in the Department of Art History at Rice University. Her teaching focuses on the art of ancient and colonial Latin America, while her research considers how visual works created by Aztec artists in the years after the Spanish invasion and imposition of Hispano-Christian rule could be used as tools of persuasion, reconciliation, and identity formation under a colonial system. Her second book, The Codex Mexicanus: A Guide to Life in Late Sixteenth-Century New Spain (2018), was awarded the Roland H. Bainton Prize from the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference. Her most recent book, Aztec Codices: What They Tell Us about Daily Life (2020), uses images from Aztec codices to explain different facets of life in Aztec society. Diel has also published essays that consider specific Aztec pictorial manuscripts as well as the role of women in Aztec history.
Coming up:
Amy Freund, Associate Professor and The Kleinheinz Family Endowment for the Arts and Education Endowed Chair in Art History at SMU, and Tiffany Floyd, Lecturer in Modern and Contemporary Art at UNT, will lead subsequent lectures on October 4 and October 11.
