Opening this Sunday February 17th, ENTRANCE will host a week of services provided, in the gallery, by artist Alex Schmidt. For one week only, Schmidt will create an installation of drawings and furniture and offer yoga classes (for kids and adults), therapy sessions, a reading hour, and stick-and-poke tattoos. Appointments are encouraged and a detailed schedule is available at the gallery. The exhibition begins with a celebration this Sunday (2/17) at 8 pm. Email Alex at [email protected] for questions or appointments. All services open to all and offered by donation at ENTRANCE 107 S Dean St. Marfa, Texas.

If you’re looking for good times in Marfa this Saturday night, you’ll be hard-pressed to top last night’s Gary P. Nunn party — featuring a decadent cupcake buffet and a dance floor of whirling cowgirl dervishes — but you can’t go wrong with Sunset at Chinati — an opportunity for an “evening viewing of Donald Judd’s 100 untitled works in mill aluminum and 15 untitled works in concrete Saturday, February 16 from 5:30 – 7:00 PM.” Free for locals and members, $10 for everybody else.

And before that, artist-in-residence K. Yoland will be giving a talk at 4pm to mark the final night of Then There Was Land, her weeklong exhibition at Marfa Contemporary. For more information, visit Marfa Contemporary.

As Blues Control, Russ Waterhouse and Lea Cho create a righteous blend of space rock, spiritual jazz and New Age music that sounds like little else. The Coopersburg, PA-based duo has been making albums since 2007 for top shelf labels like Siltbreeze, Not Not Fun, Woodsist and Holy Mountain. In 2011 they issued an absolute classic of contemporary cosmic music in collaboration with zither guru Laraaji, best known for his Brian Eno-produced album from 1980, Ambient 3: Day of Radiance. Artist Kathy Rose directed their latest video (see above) for “Opium Den/Fade to Blue.” [Video via artinfo]

Works from Ballroom alumni — Kathryn Andrews, Aaron Curry, and Raymond Pettibon — will be on display as part of Set Pieces, an exhibition of Los Angeles artists at Milan’s Cardi Black Box gallery. Their works will be exhibited alongside four “sets” by Sarah Cain (another Marfa artist!), Liz Glynn, Samara Golden, and Mateo Tannatt. As curators Andrew Berardini and Lauren Mackler explain:

“Visually, the different “sets,” so to speak, will be autonomous islands of light within an otherwise darkened space, to simulate a cinematic effect and the sense of being on a movie set. In many ways, we are inspired by the work of William Leavitt, who recently had a retrospective at MOCA here in Los Angeles, and whose work often uses plays and their stages to beautifully reveal the mundane theatricality of the city. He told us once that his plays were really elaborate frames for his paintings.”

Set Pieces runs from February 8 through April 15, 2013, with an opening on Thursday, February 7 from 6-9pm.

Entrance, the “24/7 art space” operated in part by Ballroom’s Exhibition & Programs Coordinator Rosa McElheny has something for your Marfa weekend …

ENTRANCE announces “Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens,” a solo exhibition by Marfa artist Michael Roch. The show features new paintings that explore Roch’s interest in surface, craft and childlike subject matter. Rabbits, bears, penguins and abstract marks playfully inhabit these canvases amid the flat, exacting environment of joint compound, latex paint, color and form.

“Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens” opens with a reception from 6 – 8 pm Friday, February 1. The show remains on view 24 hours a day through February 15. ENTRANCE is located at 107 S. Dean Street.
