October 09, 2008 Underway: The Marfa Sessions
"The Marfa Sessions" is a series of sound projects embedded in public and private spaces to create a portrait of an unusual southwest Texas town.
Say the producers of the exhibition (opened September 27, 2008) : "With site-specific works activating various locations across town, and with the collaboration of the community, The Marfa Sessions aims to amplify the varied set of physical and metaphoric characteristics that define Marfa – its geopolitical position, local identity, myths, as well as its significant relationship to 20th Century Minimalism and Land Art." The environs of the remote desert town include The McDonald Observatory, Big Bend National Park, The Marfa Lights, a U.S. border patrol station, The Chinati Foundation (former WWII military base), the Judd Foundation and filming locations for "Giant," "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men."
