Unhappy HourEdited By Madelyn Miller, the travellady
The art is available for viewing during regular theatre hours.
Usually, the images would take their first form in sketch
books, or more commonly bar napkins. “There’s a never ending stream of
beautifully decrepit souls wandering the bars of America at three in the
afternoon” states Seeman. “Having lived in a bar neighborhood like South Beach
really opens your eyes to a different type of person, the type who arrives for
their first Happy Hour at 8:00 a.m.”
Pigeon Stone Project at the Magnolia is located upstairs in the Bar Gallery. Bringing together both artist and community, it is the intention of Pigeon Stone Project to spotlight local talent and to help build a stronger foundation in Dallas’ art scene. Sarah Jane Semrad is curator of Pigeon Stone Project at the Magnolia. For further information please contact Sarah Jane Semrad at 469-951-7323.

Dallas painter Joey Seeman has a solo exhibition of new
paintings entitled The Unhappy Hour at the Magnolia Bar Gallery, located inside
the Magnolia Theatre in the West Village, 3699 McKinney Avenue in Dallas from
February 25 through April 7, 2005. 
Joseph Seeman has been documenting the denizens of the
night time world since he started painting in the early 90’s. Scenes of
all-nighters, hopeless alcoholics, barflies, chain smokers and assorted hangers
on have long populated his canvases. It is these ever present fixtures who give
hole in the wall bars their character and charm. 
Derived from years of sketches and
cocktail napkins, The Unhappy Hour is Seeman’s attempt to rekindle the ghosts of
those he’s encountered throughout the years and channel their spirit onto canvas
while paying homage to the great artists of the German Expressionist period whom
he reveres.
