The Nasher Sculpture Center opens a new, prestigious exhibit this Saturday, called And temporary mesh panels will be installed on the exhibit hall ceiling to protect the brightly colored ceramic sculptures from the sun鈥檚 glare reflected off the Museum Tower next door.
It's year two of the glare standoff between the Nasher and the condo tower's owner, the Dallas Police and Fire Pension Board. And Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings is disappointed things aren鈥檛 moving.
鈥淲e want to sell out all the units in Museum Tower, and we want to make sure Nasher goes back to where they鈥檝e been,鈥� he said Monday. 鈥淎nd to do those things we鈥檝e got to have a spirit of cooperation. I鈥檝e got a sense of urgency about this. I want to get this done before summer, and time鈥檚 a wastin鈥�!鈥�
Rawlings doesn鈥檛 expect any movement until the Pension Board makes a decision on ownership of the tower. Dallas developer Jack Matthews has made a bid. That decision could come as early as the Pension Board meeting next week. The Nasher supports the Matthews bid.
