The Texas Centennial Exposition was not only a celebration of Texas independence, but also of Texas and Western culture. The 1936-37 Exposition was also a festival of architecture, which embraced the then-new International style of architecture. Traditionally, worlds fairs are the testing grounds for new ideas in building design; Dallas and its Exposition architects chose to reflect the style of the Exposition Des Arts Decoratifs in Paris in 1925. They were also influenced by the recently completed "Century of Progress" in Chicago (1933-34), where the International style of architecture was prominently displayed.
The significance of Fair Park also extends beyond the architectural theme of the remaining buildings. Fair Park is one of the largest intact grouping of Exposition buildings remaining in the United States. Most World's Fairs or Exposition grounds in the United States have been demolished, except for one or two exceptional buildings. However, many of the original 1936 buildings and open spaces remain today from the Texas Centennial Exposition, even though several were constructed as "temporary" structures.
Fair Park is also significant in terms of urban design, open space design, and artwork and sculpture. The Exposition architecture expressed monumentality in design, but this was reinforced by the open spaces and landscaping that the buildings were sited around. The grounds were planned on two landscape design themes: a Beaux Arts theme that involved grand plazas and vistas that intersected or were terminated by major buildings, and a pastoral theme that used winding paths, random landscaping, and building siting to create a very informal atmosphere. The majority of these open spaces, both formal and informal, exist today in one of America's most well-planned parks. Four major open space areas (and their buildings) still remain: Esplanade of State (Grand Plaza—Esplanade of State—Texas Court of Honor); Agrarian Parkway and The Chute; Federal Concourse (Federal Concourse—Constitution Place—Stadium Plaza); and the Lagoon and Centennial Drive. These spaces combine to create a series of monumental spaces, formal vistas, landscaping, and pastoral images unparalleled in a planned park in Texas and the Southwest.
The sculptures, murals, and other artwork remaining from the Exposition are also significant. Often intended to be "temporary" artwork, they reinforced the monumentality of the buildings and the open space design in Fair Park. Many of the artists studied in Paris; their work remains in exterior spaces as sculpture and murals, and inside many of the buildings in the Park.
The Continental Oil/Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) House was designed by W.R. Brown and constructed in 1936 for the Texas Centennial Exposition as the company's "Hospitality House". Visitors to the Exposition could sit & rest on the verandah of the house or visit the travel bureau inside, which was there to help folks find out about and get to other Centennial events across Texas. In 1938, after the Centennial Exposition and subsequent Pan-American Exposition, the Continental Oil Company donated the house to the Daughters of the American Revolution. This 2-story house in Southern Colonial Plantation style features a 2-story front porch supported by six columns and a balustraded deck over the porch. Inside are historical exhibits and displays of various artifacts donated by or belonging to D.A.R. members. One of the more interesting things to see is a Republic of Texas land grant signed by Sam Houston. On one wall hangs a picture frame full of old buttons and badges dating from around the turn of the century. Among these is an original "Quanah Route Day" badge bearing a likeness of Chief Parker. There are also State Fair badges dating back to 1888 and political buttons picturing Teddy Roosevelt and other politicians of his era.
The Texas Centennial Exposition Buildings (or more commonly referred to as Fair Park or Site of Texas State Fairs) was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) on September 24, 1986 for its long standing history described above and includes The Women's Museum above. Most all of the information above was found on the original documents submitted for listing consideration and can be viewed here:

Pour son exposition au Centre d’art contemporain de la Matmut – Daniel Havis, Maia Flore fait se rencontrer deux composantes essentielles à la vie : le rire et le rêve. Ses photographies, créées à partir de souvenirs et d’impressions, nous emmènent dans l’imaginaire de l’artiste. Un imaginaire foisonnant remplit de malice et de poésie.
Maia Flore utilise la photographie comme principal médium, qu’elle souligne par la pratique du dessin et du collage. Comme une conteuse visuelle, l’artiste transforme la réalité et magnifie les choses simples qui nous entourent. Un coucher de soleil, un arbre en fleur ou encore un ciel un soir de pleine lune : découvrir le travail de Maia Flore c’est s’autoriser à rêver…et à rire d’un petit rien ! La photographe s’inspire de ce qui l’entoure pour créer ses compositions, parfois numériquement. Un brin surréaliste, elles sont souvent teintées d’humour. Maia Flore s’empare de situations du quotidien pour en faire des mises en scène cocasses dont elle est la principale actrice. La place du corps est au cœur de ses images : il est toujours en mouvement, en lévitation, gracieux, parfois même en fusion avec son environnement. Toutefois, l’artiste nous cache son visage pour que le spectateur s’identifie mieux au personnage de ses photographies. Le parcours de l’exposition met en avant le travail métaphorique de Maia Flore, qui navigue habilement entre le monde réel et le monde imaginaire laissant place à une intimité visuelle qui unit le corps humain et le paysage. En explorant les galeries du centre d’art, les visiteurs sont transportés dans un rêve onirique captivant et amusant.
La photographe française Maia Flore née en 1988 oscille entre la France et les États-Unis. Juste sortie de l’école des Gobelins, elle devient membre de l’agence Vu en 2010 et reçoit le Prix pour la photographie HSBC en 2015. Les différentes résidences auxquelles elle a participé et les expositions internationales l’on amenées à voyager de Rio à Rome, ou de Moscou à Buenos Aires. Elle a exposé à la galerie Themes+Projects à San Francisco et à la galerie Fremin à New York. Les thèmes du voyage, des paysages, du mouvement et du corps lui sont chers.
For her exhibition at the Matmut – Daniel Havis Contemporary Art Centre, Maia Flore brings together two essential components of life: laughter and dreams. Her photographs, created from memories and impressions, take us into the artist’s imagination. A teeming imagination filled with mischief and poetry. Maia Flore uses photography as her main medium, which she highlights through the practice of drawing and collage. Like a visual storyteller, the artist transforms reality and magnifies the simple things that surround us. A sunset, a tree in bloom or even a sky on a full moon night: discovering Maia Flore’s work is allowing yourself to dream…and laugh at a little nothing! The photographer draws inspiration from what surrounds her to create her compositions, sometimes digitally. A bit surreal, they are often tinged with humor. Maia Flore takes everyday situations and turns them into comical stagings in which she is the main actress. The place of the body is at the heart of her images: it is always in motion, levitating, graceful, sometimes even merging with its environment. However, the artist hides her face so that the viewer can better identify with the character in her photographs. The exhibition itinerary highlights Maia Flore's metaphorical work, which skillfully navigates between the real world and the imaginary world, leaving room for a visual intimacy that unites the human body and the landscape. By exploring the galleries of the art center, visitors are transported into a captivating and amusing dreamlike dream.

BANKSY
Banksy est le pseudonyme d'un(e) artiste britannique connu pour son art urbain (ou street art) et également comme peintre et réalisateur.
Dissimulant sa véritable identité, Banksy est entouré de mystère.
Dans le cadre de l’exposition "Révolution bande dessinée" organisée à La Boverie, l’asbl CIAC et l’opération Paliss’art ont décidé de rendre hommage au 9ème Art en laissant une trace dans l’espace public, hommage qui s’est concrétisé par une réalisation monumentale en l’honneur du célèbre dessinateur français Enki Bilal.
Cette fresque est la 65ème intervention palissartienne. Déjà en 2002, la bande dessinée avait inspiré une des toutes premières réalisations de Paliss’art puisqu’une fresque d’envergure dédiée à Giraud/Moebius avait orné les palissades du chantier des Galeries Saint-Lambert.
Ce nouveau projet a pris une place de choix, à l’angle de la rue Basse-Wez et du Pont d’Amercoeur, croisée routière importante de Liège. Plusieurs axes y convergent, un pont, 4 quais, 2 grands axes routiers traversant, sans compter de nombreuses rues pénétrant dans les quartiers.
C’est aux artistes Soke et Michaël Nicolaï de l’asbl Spray Can Arts que la Ville de Liège a confié la délicate tâche de réinterpréter une oeuvre d’Enki Bilal.
Le sujet choisi par les deux artistes représente le chessboxing, sport hybride qui mélange boxe anglaise et jeu d'échecs. À l'origine, le chessboxing a été inventé par Enki Bilal lui-même dans son album Froid Équateur en 1992. Mais un artiste hollandais a décidé de passer de la fiction à la réalité en organisant le premier combat en 2003. Aujourd’hui, le chessboxing est devenu un sport à part entière, avec ses propres règles, son championnat du monde et d'Europe et ses premiers clubs.
As part of the "Cartoon Revolution" exhibition organized at La Boverie, the CIAC association and the Paliss'art operation decided to pay homage to the 9th Art by leaving a trace in the public space, a tribute to is made a monumental achievement in honor of the famous French cartoonist Enki Bilal.
This fresco is the 65th intervention palissartian. Already in 2002, the comic book had inspired one of the first achievements of Paliss'art since a large fresco dedicated to Giraud / Moebius had adorned the palisades of the Galeries Saint-Lambert.
This new project has taken pride of place at the corner of rue Basse-Wez and Pont d'Amercoeur, a major crossroads of Liège. Several axes converge, a bridge, 4 docks, 2 major roads crossing, not to mention many streets penetrating the neighborhoods.
It is to the artists Soke and Michaël Nicolai of the non-profit organization Spray Can Arts that the City of Liège has entrusted the delicate task of reinterpreting a work by Enki Bilal.
The subject chosen by the two artists represents chessboxing, a hybrid sport that mixes boxing and chess. Originally, chessboxing was invented by Enki Bilal himself in his album Froid Ecuador in 1992. But a Dutch artist decided to go from fiction to reality by organizing the first fight in 2003. Today, chessboxing has become a sport in its own right, with its own rules, its world and European championship and its first clubs.
