This Fourth of July, Marfa Live Arts presents at the Crowley Theater Beyond the Box, an evening of three acts by local Marfa artists.
The evening will begin with David Fenster and Laura Copelin’s debut of Marfa Field Guide, which is a yearlong project documenting Marfa’s unique flora and fauna. Marfa Field Guide connects practical information to personal stories and experiences through maps, interviews and video. Marfa Field Guide’s Beyond the Box presentation will serve to consolidate and summarize research conducted thus far.
Gretchen Lee Coles, Marfa-based performance artist and cartographer, will present her work, Mapping Greenland from the Greenroom, third act. This piece invites theater viewers to experience glacial melting in a short performance art work inspired by the mapping process and surrealist films. Performers will interact with glacial props and enact representations of climate change on stage. Coles presented Mapping Greenland from the greenroom, second act at The University of Texas of the Permian Basin as an interactive performance in the Nancy Fyfe Cardozier Gallery during March and April 2015.
Beyond the Box will conclude with music by Diamond Hymen, an experimental drone punk band from Marfa, Texas. Drummer Ryan Penland and bassist Dione Acosta have been in former bands such as VD (2006-2007) and The Corpses (2007-2009). In 2009, Richard Covarrubias joined to form the thrash punk band, Solid Waste until 2015. During that time they played shows for CineMarfa, Chinati Open House Weekend, and Ballroom Marfa. Diamond Hymen will be joined by Moritz Landgrebe, who will contribute hand-crafted visualizations to the group’s performance.
Beyond the Box is a free community event. Doors open at 7:00 pm with the show at 7:30pm. This performance was made possible by the City of Marfa, Permian Basin Area Foundation, and Jeff Elrod. Special thanks to Yoseff Ben-Yehuda, Ross Cashiola, Tim Crowley, Rob Crowley, Dan Dunlap, Delfin & Minerva Lopez, Cate Schrim, and Gory Smelley.
