The British are coming! In the late '90s there was a second com-
ing of young British musical artists that included the 1 ikes of Blur,
Oasis and Pulp. Supergrass was the lesser-known slightly non-se-
rious alternative that never really made it to rock super-stardom,
yet they seemed to weather the storms of time and change with
slightly more resilience. This weekend they will venture "across
the pond" to delight Dallas fans with a show that will more than
likely feature hits from last years "Road to Rouen."

C enton restaurant prem eres new art shows
Giuseppe's
Italian restaurant
showcases artwork
to attract Denton
community
By Crystal Barbour
StaffWriter
Once a dimly lit, neutral colored
place, Giuseppe's Italian Restau-
rant has brightened its darkened
comers with art work for its latest
art show, "Saturation."
This is the third show hosted by
the restaurant after manager Jeanna
Dickerson pitched the idea to own-
er Giuseppe Brownell late last year.
"The goal of the shows is to pro-
vide the community of Denton with
quality artwork and quality food,"
Dickerson said. "I just want to in-
termingle those two things at an
awesome location."
"Saturation" showcases work
from five local artists including
Troy Allen, Richardson senior.
Allen said he thinks having an art
show in a restaurant is a good way to
open up artwork to new audiences.
"[The show] opens the door to talk
to customers about the motivation
behind the artwork, what sparks
the idea and how it turns into art,"
Dickerson said. "It broadens hori-
zons.
The artwork is a collection of an
array of work ranging from draw-
ings, paintings and photographs.
Allen said his work is inspired by
music.
"[The paintings] are kind of
about different things all founded
in music," Allen said. "They are
automatic paintings that I don't
start with anything premeditated
in mind. I basically have a circle of
different pieces of music I listen to
and I don't plan out composition or
colors."
All entries for the show require a
$5 submission fee per three pieces
of art. Dickerson said she along
with Brownell and a handful of lo-
cal artists judge the work and pick
the pieces best fit for the show.
Dickerson said customers posi-
tively responded to the show.
"Ninety-nine percent of the time,
the feedback was positive," she
said. "People are excited about it.
We sold 14 pieces at the last show.
I hope that the people with negative
responses will one day come in and
find something they really enjoy. I
want there to be something for ev-
eryone."
The restaurant advertised with
flyers and recruited artists through
word of mouth. Dickerson said
she challenged artists already in
the show to go out and find more
people to submit work. She said the
criteria for the show is very vague

to attract a wide variety of work.
"The process to put together the
shows has been very rushed," she
said. "It's high pressure and very
sudden. I had two weeks to put to-
gether this last show. I wanted to
make it happen, so I did."
Giuseppe's is planning the next
show for its 10-year anniversary
festival on March 26.
"There will be different food
from different restaurants and four
bands," Dickerson said. "It's excit-
ing."
The newest show, "Move-
ment" will be premiering at the
festival and the restaurant is al-
ready accepting submissions.
Dickerson said she hopes to keep
the shows going for at least a year.
"Personally, I enjoy wine, food,
art work and music and I wanted
to put that all together to find com-
mon ground with customers."
