Richard Telles presents an exhibition of new work by Ballroom alum Dan Finsel, his first solo exhibition with the Los Angeles gallery.

“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.

Ballroom Marfa está orgulloso de anunciar la inauguración, de New Growth, una exposición
individual del nuevo trabajo de Rashid Johnson, el 8 de mayo. En ella, Johnson combina desde
un punto de vista personal e histórico materiales de la tierra, como manteca de Karité y jabón
negro con otros objetos como pueden ser portadas de discos y libros en complejas instalaciones
que confunden la uniformidad de la identidad colectiva y la representación multicultural.
Partiendo de la pregunta, “Qué pasaría si Sun Ra, George Washington, Carver y Robert Smitth
crearan una comunidad juntos en el desierto?” New Growth’s juega entrelazando cosmología,
evasión e irrigación en una recontextualización de las líneas entre el pasado, presente y futuro
en el desierto de Marfa.

La manipulación física del biomaterial en una forma abstracta y estetizada es un concepto que
se manifiesta a través de las obras expuestas, con referencias a la constante transformación y
rehabilitación de los cuerpos, los paisajes y las identidades incrustadas en ellos. Esto se aprecia
de manera más dramática en la instalación al aire libre en la que se riega la arena bañada por el
sol del patio con manteca de karité: la terraformación de Arrakis funciona en miniatura aquí en
los pastizales del desierto del lejano West Texas.

En consonancia con los objetivos de Ballroom Marfa, New Growth, contará con un nuevo trabajo
comisariado que incluye el vídeo Samuel in Space y Shea Butter Irrigation System -ambos
producidos durante la estancia del artista en Marfa. Obras en cera, madera quemada, azulejos y
espejos así como sillas de metal, madera y alfombras completan la exposición.

Un programa de cine comisariado por Rashid Johnson, en colaboración con Josh Siegel,
comisario del MoMA, se proyectará a lo largo de la exposición. Este programa contará
con Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song (1971) de Melvin Van Peebles, Space in the Place (1974)
de John Coney y Sun Ra y The Brother From Another Planet (1884) de John Sayles
además de una noche de cortometrajes.

Para inaugurar New Growth, Ballroom Marfa será la sede de un fin de semana de festejos,
incluyendo una noche de apertura, el 8 de marzo de 6 a 8 pm. La recepción también cuenta con
la actuación de multi-instrumentista y leyenda de la música El’Zabar Kahil y saxofonista Hamiet
Bluiett, cuyos estilos musicales van desde el avant-garde al bebop. Inmediatamente después de
la recepción de apertura tendrá lugar una cena abierta al público en el Capri. Además, el sábado
9 de marzo a las 11:30 am el artista hará una visita guiada de la exposición.

Todos los eventos son gratis y abiertos al público.

New Growth, ha sido posible gracias al apoyo de la Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual

Arts; la National Endowment for the Arts: Brown Foundation, Inc., Houston; Texas Comission
on the Arts, Meyer Levy Charitable Foundation y Hauser & Wirth Gallery que generosamente
contribuyen como socios de Ballroom Marfa.

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.”

Recommended reading from Parkett 90: Infinite Blackness by Tom Morton of magazine. An excerpt:

Johnson’s sculptures, photographs, and videos proceed through reference and sheer density of information. His best-known works, shelf-like wall pieces such as Wanted (2011), gather together found items that allude variously to African American intellectual history, pop culture, the anointing of the skin, the free circulation of ideas, and the unstable stuff of value. Stacked books are a regular feature, here, their titles (The Souls of Black Folk, Death by Black Hole, Time Flies) and prominent African American authors (sociologist and civil rights activist W.E.B. Du Bois, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, the complicatedly conservative comedian Bill Cosby) speaking of whole explosive cosmoses contained within their covers, like energy packed in a hydrogen atom. LP sleeves are also common, including artists like the psychedelic funk outfit Parliament and soul singer turned pastor Al Green. Shea butter is also common—the substance is derived from the African shea nut that is used in moisturizers and cosmetics, in Johnson’s work it recalls Joseph Beuys’ magically charged measures of fat. Houseplants also appear on the shelves, alongside CB radios and ordinary stones transformed into “space rocks” by a coat of gold spray paint. Taken together, we might imagine these things as agents of change. By their grace, a mind is expanded, and a soul gladdened. Rough skin is softened, and carbon dioxide transformed into oxygen. A silence is broken, and dull geology gleams and glitters.
