8NAP ART

To everyone who came by 8NAP House this weekend, joined us for an event, or stayed a little longer to talk about the art: thank you.

We’re grateful for the time you spent with us, with the work, and with each other. To the artists who trusted us with their work, thank you for giving us so much to gather around.

We leave Marfa more confident than ever in the future of art, and grateful to be helping build it with you.

Please touch the art.

During his residency at Museo Anahuacalli, @Coldie photographed figures and vessels from Diego Rivera’s collection, including objects in Rivera’s private vault. Those photographs became the pieces of his kinetic collage, En Marcha.

Coldie wanted visitors to get closer to the objects he’d spent time with. At Digital Encounters, you could put a finger on a figure, enlarge it to see a detail, then move it beside a vessel of your choosing. Coldie supplied the pieces. The arrangement on the screen was yours.

En Marcha is available to collect. DM @jared_poz to inquire.

Youniverse by @photonisdead, from WHEN ALL I HAD WAS STARS.

Does the black hole at the centre of the figure’s chest draw you in?

You can mint this work now.

HODLing On by @Desultor carries a bit of his own history with crypto. He chose objects that meant something to him and gathered them in a small, illuminated shadowbox.

Seeing it in Marfa made us think about the things we’ve kept from those years, and the stories we’d tell if someone asked us why.

One of our favourite things about Clear Boundaries by @HaydClay was coming back to it at different times of day.

As the light changed, so did the light coming through the stained glass. It made the sculpture feel alive.
