9 reasons to go to Marfa, TX

Howdy!

Vanity Fair has published an article, a photo essay and a video on some contemporary artists who have something of a presence in Marfa, TX. All in the name of modern journalism. Since they are about as close as I am ever likely to get to Marfa, I figured they were worth noting.

The article and photo essay spotlight a bunch of artists who have art at Marfa, namely

• Elmgreen and Dragset
• Rackstraw Downes
• Jeff Elrod
• Dan Flavin
• John Wesley
• Robert Irwin
• Alexandre Singh, Jonah Freeman and Justin Lowe
• Sam Schonzeit
• Charline von Heyl.

Pretty much a re-write of this article from the New York Times magazine in January.
