CentralTrak: The UT Dallas Artist Residency

The CentralTrak residency program for artists in the city of Dallas was founded in 2002, by former McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art and current University of Texas at Dallas faculty member Dr. Richard Brettell. Originally the South Side Artist Residency, co-founded by developer Jack Matthews, CentralTrak is now a program connected to and supported by the University of Texas at Dallas Arts and Humanities department.

CentralTrak is located in Exposition Park in the old Fair Park post office building in Dallas, Texas near the historical Dallas arts and music neighborhood, Deep Ellum. It offers living work spaces for eight artists and contains a gallery which regularly hosts solo and group exhibitions, lectures, and performances. CentralTrak is known for showcasing contemporary visual art, but also is used as a space for experimental music and other art forms. It was recently listed as one of the best contemporary art galleries in Dallas by Glasstire. It will be host for the Texas Biennial in the fall of 2013.

Past directors have been Karen Weiner, Charissa Terranova, and Kate Sheerin. Heyd Fontenot is the current director, taking over for Kate Sheerin in 2011.

Before becoming the current Director of CentralTrak, Heyd Fontenot co-curated the Gun and Knife Show in 2011. This exhibition focused on violence in America and the fetishization of weapons.

On January 18, 2013, CentralTrak opened the two-person exhibition "Painting of All Excuses", featuring Cuban artists Raul Cordero and Michael "El Pollo" Pérez. Both artists were represented in the 2012 Havana Bienniale.

History

As the precursor to CentralTrak, the SouthSide Artist Residency began as an experiment located in the middle of a burgeoning arts scene; with ten loft-studios reserved for artists in a former Sears distribution center, Jack Matthews transformed the building into a center for creative living and working. His collaboration with the University of Texas at Dallas' School of Arts and Humanities provided national and international artists with a residency fellowship (during a period of six months to a year) funded by small grants, as well as the participation of the artists themselves, most of whom transported themselves to Texas from Argentina, France, and Austria, among others. With inspiration from critically acclaimed programs such as the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas and the CORE Program at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, the residency lasted for a little over two years, ending over a disagreement between Matthews and the university. However, the residency reimagined itself as CentralTrak in early 2008 with support from the university and Dr. Terranova as its inaugural director.
