Matthew Day Jackson’s Sculpture For My Right Hand, from Ballroom’s Limited Editions

Longtime Ballroom supporter, alumnus and board member Matthew Day Jackson is at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston this Wednesday. He’ll be chatting with curator Jen Mergel about “his multi-faceted career, his influences, and what the future holds.” Beauty and Horror: Kissing Cousins goes down from 7-8pm on April 3. Tickets are available at the Museum of Fine Arts website.

As we have mentioned before, people get kind of worked up over the work of Jeff Mangum, in particular the albums he recorded in 1996 and 1998 with Neutral Milk Hotel. And while there is plenty of obsession over the lyrical and instrumental intricacies of Mangum’s artistic practice, such an enduring emotional resonance is surely sustained by something more elusive than structural complexity and earworm melodies.

Thus we have the essays at Find Jeff Mangum, personal accounts of “the first time you heard Neutral Milk Hotel,” stories of sadness and hope, young romance and suicide from the Arkansas suburbs, the Yakima Valley and a food blogger living in East Tennessee. All of them unfolding while In the Aeroplane over the Sea or On Avery Island plays on car stereos or bedroom speakers.

Jeff Mangum performs two shows here in Marfa this Sunday with Tall Firs at the Crowley Theater. The 7:30p show is sold out. Click here for tickets for his 10:30p performance.

Liz Cohen’s Rio Grande Repair

Ballroom alum Liz Cohen‘s Tex Mex video installation will be on display at MOCAD from April 10-28 as part of Art X Detroit. The installation is part of Bodywork, Cohen’s continuing documentation around the Trabantimino, the vehicle she created by hybridizing an East German Trabant with a 1970s Chevrolet El Camino lowrider. Cohen’s work was featured as part of 2011’s Autobody group exhibition at Ballroom Marfa, and Tex Mex focuses on the drive she took across Far West Texas in the Trabantimino. Three photographs from this road trip can be viewed as part of Ballroom’s Limited Editions program: Rio Grande Repair (pictured above), Bird Hannah and Ranch Road 2810/Pinto Canyon Road.

From the Art X Detroit release:

TEX MEX by Liz Cohen
A three-channel HD video installation at MOCAD, TEX MEX documents the test drive of the Trabantimino in the south Texas desert on a road leading to the Mexican border. TEX MEX is part of an eight-year project called BODYWORK in which acclaimed artist Cohen apprenticed with automotive technicians to create the Trabantimino, a car that transforms from East German Trabant to American El Camino through the hydraulic technology commonly found in lowriders. Cohen simultaneously converted her body into one worthy of a car-show bikini model, making BODYWORK a celebration of subcultures.

Read more about Cohen in this excellent 2011 profile from Bad at Sports.

“All my work is very much about this open-ended encounter. Creating an occasion for an experience. This is the longest video I’ve made, actually. It’s a 44-minute loop. But you don’t have to sit and watch any of my videos. I say that in jest, but I mean it. I made the very careful decision that the length of the loop is not advertised anywhere in the gallery. Because I feel like duration can be a comfort, but it’s also kind of a terror. My videos don’t have any beginning or end. Every moment within it contains it. Hopefully.”

Rashid Johnson will curate Hard-Edge Paintings 1963-1966, an exhibition of Sam Gilliam’s early work at the David Kordansky Gallery in Los Angeles, scheduled to be on display from 28 March through 11 May 2013. The Wall Street Journal has more details, plus commentary from both artists on each other’s work, including the following from Gilliam on Johnson:

“I encourage young artists to know what’s in books but to go beyond books, to see what is going on outside of school, because that’s what you’re actually training for. To see the variables. The fact is, I’m still the same, perhaps, as I was when I was younger. The idea of the work is still the same. You see something as an extension of a certain time or a certain date, rather than the observation that the optimism of the ’50s and ’60s still continues—quieter but still the same. I see a kind of optimism when I talk with Rashid.”

“E-THAY INWARD-YAY OURNEY-JAY”

MARCH 16 – APRIL 20, 2013

Opening reception: Saturday, March 16th, from 5 to 7pm

From the press release [PDF]:

The installation features mandala paintings, large-scale photographs on which paint was applied, and three table-like sculptures, among other works, all of whose details feature a vocabulary of symbols intertwined by Finsel’s internal logic. He developed this symbology while performing the exercises described in the book The Inward Journey / Art as Therapy for You by Margaret Frings Keyes (1974), which was found in his parents’ book collection. Finsel’s new body of work departs from his last in surface content but continues to employ an interpretation of method acting techniques to inhabit hidden aspects of himself. In doing so, he undergoes almost “extreme” subjective altering processes. By displacing his current self, he grafts “logically” determined psychological attributes/motives—depending on the reference material—to his thinking. Thus by determining the psychology of a subject “who would create this work”, Finsel sees not only the elements of his performance as furthering an intended motive of meta-narrative and authorial play, but allows, in retrospect, for access to recesses of self that until now were previously unknown.

Ballroom Marfa Drive-In and Vizcaino Park Master Plan

In last week’s edition of our local paper, the Big Bend Sentinel, Fort Davis-based columnist and historian Lonn Taylor asked questions about the ongoing Ballroom Marfa Drive-In project, shedding light on the history of drive-in movie theaters in the process.

“The popularity of drive-ins was a function of the baby boom that followed World War II, when many young families had noisy children,” he writes. “Drive-in owners added playgrounds for the children and concession stands, some of them serving full meals, for adults. Even Marfa, with a population of 3,600, had a drive-in, which opened in 1953 just west of the cemetery and closed six years later.”

He goes on to wonder about the lessons learned from other developers who have tried to launch projects in our Far West Texas town, specifically the failure of the Brite family to establish a Disciples of Christ community in the World War II-era, an exercise that included enticing believers with the work of architect Leighton Green Knipe, who, as Taylor writes, “gave them a magnificent building whose sanctuary will seat five hundred people.” A building which, after the thriving congregation failed to materialize, “now stands empty on the west side of the courthouse square.”

Taylor also considers the more well-known story of Donald Judd’s arrival in the early ’70s and the 40 years in between that turned, in Taylor’s words, “a drought-blighted cattle town into an international art center.”

Ballroom’s Director of External Affairs & Drive-In Project Manager Melissa McDonnell responded with a letter clarifying that the Drive-In project — encompassing a rehabilitation of the entire 21-acre site at Vizcaino Park — goes beyond the historical models discussed by Taylor …

“The Drive-In project also includes a master plan for Vizcaino Park, which has come out of discussions with Presidio County and community members. The master plan looks at the entire park and identifies needed improvements for existing park structures, such as the baseball field bleachers and locates new recreational spaces such as a soccer field and possibly a skate park. Other organizations such as Big Bend Soccer Association and El Cosmico have expressed interest in participating in the development of these new spaces.

“The Drive-In theater space is for all community organizations to use and program,” she continues. “While Ballroom Marfa will have programming that includes film screenings, concerts and operas, the facility will be available for local organizations to host movie screenings, high school graduations, music concerts, plays, etc.”

Further discussion and exploration of this ongoing project is encouraged from all members of our community. Vistors are welcome to stop by the Drive-In Project space at the Ballroom offices, next door to Marfa Studio Arts at 106 San Antonio. Melissa is also available for comments and questions about the Drive-In project at [email protected] or 432-729-3600. You can also find out more at the Drive-In section of the Ballroom website.

The Seen, “Chicago’s International Art & Design Blog,” reviews Rashid Johnson’s New Growth…

“… The extreme dry landscape led Rashid to create his largest sculpture to date, The Shea Butter Irrigation System, an altered irrigation system, like those found in agricultural fields. Heated by the sun, the large cubes of shea butter slowly drip onto the ground. Shea butter is a moisturizing emollient derived from a plant native to West Africa and it has become one of Rashid’s signature materials for its multivalent associations with his own life, Afrocentrism, and healing properties. As the shea butter drips onto the rocky, dry Texas earth, the work questions what will metaphorically grow, with the introduction of a foreign substance such as the shea butter. The immense scale and location of this work outdoors in the Ballroom Marfa courtyard veers Rashid into the territory of land art and earthworks akin to that of Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, and Robert Morris, opening up an entirely new dialogue around his work.”
