ABOUT THE COVER:aLLISON V. SMITH

SPECIAL THANKS:a LeTTeR FROM THe PUBLISHeR

Allison has long been one of Marfa’s favorite photographers of Marfa. Her keen eye captures our beloved hometown from angles only a blessed few know. A self-described “full time photographer, dog mom and Willie fan” (in that order), Allison shares her adventures via a blog that can be found at www.allisonvsmith.com. She is currently represented by Barry Whistler Gallery (www.barrywhistlergallery.com) and her work can be viewed in Marfa at Marfa Contemporary (www.marfacontemporary.com). In fact, she is part of the first ever show for Marfa Contemporary, running October 6 to December 20, featuring three photographers who love to take aim at Marfa.

??In 2006, it was suggested I put together a map of goings-on for what was then called “Open House Weekend.” I did. A year later I released an evolved version of that idea, growing the publication from a 1-page black & white photocopy to a bound, 30-some-odd-page, slick, color brochure. Here we are 5 years later and I am excited (read: “nervous as hell”) to see my little brochure debut as a full-size magazine with a circulation extending beyond Chinati Weekend.

The new Marfa Gallery Guide Magazine, which I’m calling LIFe + aRT MARFA, or simply “la Marfa”, will distribute year-round in 2 separate editions. Five thousand copies of each edition will circulate the region for 6 full months. As advertising demand dictates, we may decide to expand the circulation and scope of the magazine. But for now, I’m excited about this very small premiere edition and I look forward to partnering with area writers, artists and photographers on future issues.

None of this would have happened, of course, without the unbending support of advertisers. Thank you all so much for always jumping at the chance to partner with me on this project. I want to extend additional thanks to Chinati Foundation for so kindly putting up with my toe-stepping; I tip my hat to you and all you do for this community.

Finally, with full understanding that there is a great deal of overlap in this statement, thank you to all my friends here in Marfa. Living in a small town is not easy, but you make it worth doing.

~MercerP.S. - To my awesome little family - Campbell and Marc: I love you both a metric ton.

Buck Johnston and Laura Hajovsky began with a simple question: how could they take their love for their hometown and build something that would give back to the community while promot-ing Marfa’s unique character? The answer came in two words: “Design Marfa.”

INSIDE THE MARFA ARCHITECTURE + DESIGN SYMPOSIUM & HOME TOUR - NOVEMBER 2-4, 2012

“We wanted a company name that reflected the many possible creative outlets that Marfa provides,” said Johnston.

Design Marfa’s first event is the Marfa Architecture + Design Symposium and Home Tour to be held November 2 through 4, 2012. The weekend will showcase a home tour of six Marfa homes and a day-and-a-half symposium structured around the six featured homes. “Marfa is an intersection of art, desert, ranching and culture. It has been written about in the New York Times, Dwell, Elle Décor and Vanity Fair. With each article, the allure has expanded. All this is to say, Marfa has captured the attention and imagination of the world,” Hajovsky said.

The symposium includes a line-up of distinguished architects and design professionals, most of which have connections to the architecture and design of structures in Marfa. The symposium will kick off with a session titled “Marfa + Judd + Today.” Panelists include San Antonio’s John Gutzler, Houston’s Carlos Jimenez and Rand

Elliott from Oklahoma City. The three speakers will discuss Judd’s influence on their past and current projects in Marfa.

“Judd had a sense of stripping the unnecessary elements off of buildings and letting the true forms appear. He had a simple, more purist approach to architecture,” Gutzler said.

Also featured is part-time Marfa resident Barbara Hill, of Barbara Hill Design, a noted designer who has renovated two adobe structures in Marfa to worldwide recognition. Hill will be presenting her Marfa renovations during the Symposium and her current adobe home will be included in the weekend’s Home Tour. Her Marfa home is also included in Nate Berkus’ book, The Things That Matter, out October 16.

“My approach is minimalism with juice,” Hill said of her design aesthetic.

The symposium is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 2, 10 a.m. through 5 p.m. and Saturday, Nov. 3, from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the Crowley Theater in Marfa.

A cocktail party celebrating the event will be held Friday night at the Capri indoor/outdoor event space, part of the Thunderbird Hotel complex. The home tour of six Marfa homes representative of the local vernacular of high desert living are scheduled for Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

While the 2012 Design Marfa encompasses the two women’s shared vision to showcase the iconic architecture and home design of the town they both call home, they say it won’t stop there.

“While we are starting with a specific architecture-focused event, we anticipate planning more events with different design themes in the future. We also have visions for a coffee table book,” said Laura. “The possibilities are vast.”

Johnston and Hajovsky began their collaboration as members of the Marfa Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors and it was there they found their contrasting backgrounds complemented one another.

Johnston is an 11-year veteran of Marfa and the owner of two creative businesses, bbgun, which develops websites and Wrong, a retail business selling original works of art and artisan creations. Hajovsky, on the other hand, is a newcomer to the town, living here just shy of two years. She has a background in law and offers operational consulting services through her business Twine Consulting.

“Our friendship turned into a great business relationship” said Laura. “It really is right-brain-meets-left-brain, creative-meets-business, unbridled-spirit-meets-project-management-skills, and in that way, Design Marfa is a perfect archetype of how Marfa operates on the whole.”

The two were exploring fundraising opportunities for the Marfa Chamber of Commerce and came up with the idea of a home tour but quickly realized a traditional tour would not be enough to tell the stories of the homes, buildings, artists, architects and designers who make Marfa so special. The 2012 Design Marfa event has designated the Marfa Chamber of Commerce, a self-funded organization, as the event’s first beneficiary.

“We are excited about Design Marfa’s inaugural event and look forward to more projects showcasing other aspects of Marfa,” said Hajovsky. “Buck and I feel we are both really lucky to be able to live here, enjoy this beauty year-round and give back to our community.”

Handmade Jewelry Clothing and Accessories

WILD WOOLIESFrom the familiar to the exotic, Wild Woolies o!ers a range of yarns for every project and skill-level: wool, cotton, alpaca, silk, llama, bamboo silk, bu!alo, hand-spun, roving and ribbon from around the world. Also on the shelves are unique gift ideas (like Bu!alo Fiber Fedoras!) and activities to get kid’s brains pumping. Publisher’s Note: I’ve been crocheting for most of my life and I can attest that you’d be hard-pressed to find a better yarn shop, attended by an expert of Pam Edwards’ caliber, anywhere. If you’re going to be around town for awhile, check out the class schedule!

VELVET ANTLERLocal jewelry designer Rose Anderson-Lewis recently opened up her own shop in the space which formerly house Fancy Pony Land. She stocks it with her own jewelry and the work of other area artists and artist friends from afar. Publisher’s Note: The two things I hope never go away here are greetings from the faithful shop dog Queenie and the iconic blue wall. It’s the perfect backdrop for Anderson-Lewis’ charming displays.

FREDASusannah Lipsey is a renowned designer - Windy Freda www.windyfreda.com - whose headbands have appeared in boutiques from LA to Austin to Brooklyn. Her newest venture, a tiny shop with nondescript signage in the heart of Marfa, features the work of friends and artists who share Lipsey’s on point aesthetic. Publisher’s Note: Go there to find things you cannot find anywhere else - literally - like Roots Rose Radish rose + bergamint lip balms and calendula geranium body butters, blended just for Freda. HOTEL PAISANO GIFT SHOPFrom the high-end women’s clothing department to the Marfa-branded souvenir shop to the housewares to the books, this store has everything. There are great gifts for kids, furniture items, art kits, candles and just about anything else you can think of. Publisher’s Note: I recently went there to purchase books, activities and a colored pencil set to keep my son occupied on a long car ride. Worked like a charm!

WRONGEverything about this place is so, so, right. Go there to get a hand-carved Camp Bosworth tequila bottle or original photos from the set of “Giant”. While there, pick up a pair of James Dean-approved Levi’s Vintage Collection 501/1955 model with the quintessential 1950s shape. Publisher’s Note: Wrong was recently given a nod in the September 2012 issue of NYLON!

MOONLIGHT GEMSTONESThis is one of those beautiful Marfa treasures that predates the area renaissance of the last decade. Paul Graybeal and his son Ben Toro create classic Americana jewelry from West Texas agates (their speciality), turquoise, and other semi-precious stones. In addition to jewelry, the shop boasts an enviable collection of rocks, including a number of stunning geodes. Publisher’s Note: Paul and Ben do incredible custom work. Take your vision to them and watch it become a reality!

Publisher’s HINT: You get slightly more bang for your buck when you shop in Marfa. While most major cities in Texas have a sales tax rate of 8.25%, Marfa’s is just 8%.

Judith Turner Allison V. Smith

Long before the idea of cultural tourism had occurred as an

opportunity for city planners, museum of!cials and tourism boards,

Marfa, Texas had been a destination for soldiers and citizens in

West Texas for many years. Before artists were championed as

illustrious celebrities, the light and the landscape compelled its

own narrative, defying the age of frivolous consumerism driven by

smartphones, laptops and iPod’s, where silence and space to think

and recreate captured the imagination of the populous. Part of the

beauty of Marfa derives from the time it takes to get there: the

journey itself embodies the idea of personal exploration.

Over the last forty years Marfa has become a destination for

those seeking an aesthetic personal or cultural experience: a

pilgrimage that allows us to disconnect from the frenetic and

build memories that assume the form of the landscape itself. The

inaugural exhibition at Marfa Contemporary is truly concerned with

appreciation of place. Spanning a timeline of twenty-three years,

the three photographers represented: Allison V. Smith, Judith

Turner and Phil Bebbington, have made the journey and captured

the town through their own distinctive lens. Rather than using

Marfa as an exotic backdrop for their art, they have asked that the

art reference the place. In this way the photographs contribute to

Marfa’s history and offer us a permanent reminder of why Marfa

is special and why, in the manner of Kerouac’s beat culture, we

continue to make that pilgrimage.
