MARFA INVITATIONAL\\Foundation In the News...🐎🐎🐎 HYPEBEAST 'Matt Johnson's Sleeping Has Found a New Home in Marfa' @hypebeast 💘💘💘 “Although far removed from Texas’ major cities, the small desert town of Marfa has long inspired artists, writers and creatives of all backgrounds since Donald Judd first set up studio spaces in the area in 1971, by purchasing and reconverting a series of abandoned buildings. Adding to the lore that is Marfa nowadays, Los Angeles-based artist Matt Johnson has permanently relocated his massive 'Sleeping Figure' installation to West Texas. Having debuted at the most recent Desert X biennial, Sleeping Figure is a 150-foot-long and 40-foot-tall installation entirely made of shipping containers that have been contorted in a balancing act to whimsically resemble reclining figures from art history. Think Rose from Titanic (1997), but made of shipping containers and sprawled out across the desert landscape. 'Sleeping Figure' will appear alongside six other totemic sculptures located by the train tracks in Marfa.” ~ Hypebeast MARFA INVITATIONAL wishes to extend our utmost Thanks and gratitude to Matt Johnson❤️ @mtatjhnoson for his unyielding generosity and support 🙏🙏🙏 MARFA INVITATIONAL is most thankful to Jenny Gil @jennygil79 and Desert X @_desertx for their extraordinary efforts realizing ‘Sleeping Figure’🙏 And to Tim Blum and Jeff Poe @blumandpoe 🙏and Lisa Spellman @lisa303 @303gallery 🙏 for their support.
