I designed this small book for Eric N. Mack whose work I love - it features a great essay by artist / essayist Graham Hamilton - and a brief preface by Caitlin. I got to employ some Aldus Manutius type strategies, which I think are right for Eric’s gorgeous work. It’s a small run but they might have a few left at Paula Cooper Gallery, where Eric’s excellent show, You Red The Shirt Off My Back, is on view. And I have a couple at the (sort of) permanently closed Marfa Book Co. I hope I get to work on a longer bigger book on Eric’s work someday. Thanks to Mike Dyer of Remake Design for his encouragement and assistance.

Thursday, 6 pm: Chinati Foundation and Agave Festival Marfa present a talk on archeoastronomy in the Chihuahuan Desert by Yuri de la Rosa of INAH-Coahuila. De la Rosa is the author of “Los astros en las rocas de Coahuila: arqueología de los antiguos habitantes del desierto” (“Stars in the Stones of Coahuila: Archeology of Early Desert Inhabitants”), and is known for his extensive and illuminating archeological research in remote regions of Coahuila, as well as his commitment to sharing the deep history of the Chihuahuan Desert through public talks, podcasts and radio interviews. De la Rosa’s presentation will begin with an overview of the history of archeology in Coahuila, including news of important recent projects and findings by INAH-Coahuila, before speaking about the role of archeoastronomy, one of his favorite subjects.

This quote by De la Rosa feels appropriate for Agave Festival: “May science, in all its aspects, be within the reach of the entire global population; may everyone who so desires have the opportunity to engage in science, and—failing that—may the results and achievements of science be within the reach of everyone.”

Pima Express performs Saturday, June 6 at the Bullroom. This legendary desert group, led by singer songwriter Lloyd Brown, has their own style, blending rock n roll, country, Norteno, Waila and even Cajun elements - and making something absolutely wonderful. I’ll be speaking with Lloyd on Tuesday, May 26, at 12:15 CST on Marfa Public Radio, as part of the weekly Dos Horas con Primo Carrasco program - tune in!
