It was quite an eventful day and it’s late. But here is one tidbit from first thing this morning.
Prada Marfa is a permanent sculptural art installation by artists Elmgreen and Dragset, located 1.4 miles northwest of Valentine, Texas, just off U.S. Highway 90, and about 26 miles northwest of the city of Marfa. The installation, in the form of a freestanding building—specifically a Prada storefront—was inaugurated on October 1, 2005. The artists described the work as a “pop architectural land art project.”
I read the information from the link and was appalled by the thinking by some people to destroy others property. But, the article had good information. Even as a young man I did not have the desire to destroy another’s property so it’s difficult for me to wrap my head around such behavior.
Well, there isn’t a whole lot else to do around Marfa or Valentine, not that that condones poor judgement. There also may be a bit of a cultural clash between the locals and the the artist community.
