Presentation Summer School Marfa 2015 spring edition
On the 27th of March students present their installations, videos and performances in Marfa, Texas
Fri, Mar 27 - Fri, Mar 27 2015
Summer School Marfa 2015 is almost coming to an end. Fifteen artists from two art acadamies have spent the last two weeks in Marfa, Texas. Accompanied by tutors, TAAK and guest lecturers, the students explored the sociological, natural and cultural meanings of the area. On the 27th of March they present their installations, videos and performances in Marfa from 6 pm – 8 pm!
For the third consecutive time, TAAK organises Summer School Marfa. Students from various art academies dive in the unique artistic climate of Marfa, Texas. This year Summer School Marfa takes place twice, in March and in June-July.
Conceptual artist Donald Judd made Marfa a special place in the seventies. He lived there and set up an artists’ residence. He asked other artists to create works of art in and about the stunning desert landscape. His legacy in the field of art in public space is one of the program lines of the Summer School Marfa. The other two areas focus on the social political history of Marfa and the influence of the Mexican border; and the landscape. In short, Marfa provides much inspiration!
