Fancy Pony Land
Description:
Marfa artist Takako Tanabe will show new sculptures and drawings at Fancy Pony Land beginning this weekend. Please join us for an opening reception Sunday May 2nd from 6-8pm. Refreshments will be served
Takako's recent "milk crown" sculptures focus on small miracles that are ignored or missed every day. By recreating water drops hitting a surface into static three-dimensional figures, she attempts to bring the missed moment back to the world to make it fuller.
In her two-dimensional works, Takako has been working with multiple images of "unhappy speech balloons" for the past six years. By drawing them repetitiously and continuously,
she hopes that elements missed in communication and dialogue in life make marks in time.
The exhibit will be on display through June. Fancy Pony Land is at 203 E. San Antonio St. 432-729-1850

The Third Annual Marfa Film Festival will be held May 5 - May 9, 2010, screening over 50 features, shorts and experimental works. Because Marfa's wide-open plain, distant mountains and incomparably starry sky are part of the draw, Marfa Film Festival will have outdoor screenings during the festival. Indoor screenings will be anchored at the state-of-the-art Goode-Crowley theater. Festival headquarters will be at the famous Paisano Hotel (where James Dean and Elizabeth Taylor lived during the filming of "Giant").
We are in the high desert where the weather may get cold at night. Please check the conditions on your favorite weather site, and don't forget warm clothing and sunscreen.
