Instead of attempting to navigate the crowds at the <a href="http://www.dfw.com/106/story/42726.html">King Tut exhibit</a> at the Dallas Museum of Art over the weekend, my Thanksgiving visitors and I decided to check out the just-opened Bill Owens exhibit at the <a href="http://www.pdnbgallery.com/">Photographs Do Not Bend Gallery.</a></p><p>What a treat: The superbly curated exhibit includes classic selections from Owen's three seminal collections, <em>Suburbia, Working</em> and <em>Leisure,</em> along with his latest work, titled <em>Suburbia Revisited,</em> in which Owens takes a look at "places and subjects that he thought would be iconic to Suburban life in the 21st Century."</p><p>Among the many remarkable highlights: a close-up of a piece of high-end restaurant steak, cooked rare (it was photographed in Dallas in 2003, though it's not clear at what eatery); a picture of a row of outhouses pitched in front of one of the buttes in Monument Valley; and a portrait of a ghostly lit Shell Station in Nashville. </p><p>You can check out a slideshow of the photos <a href="http://www.pdnbgallery.com/about.html">here.</a> Or -- and this option is much more highly recomended - you can <a href="http://www.pdnbgallery.com/about.html">visit the show yourself</a>.
