Chinati Foundation artist-in-residence Sahra Motalebi invites viewers on a visit to Marfa, Texas, where she reflects on what it means to create work away from her home base of New York state. The artist, composer, vocalist, and writer provides perspectives on how our notions of expression are being updated at this time while sharing the surrounding natural desert landscape with us. Motalebi also introduces Resonators, her current project that addresses the intersections of experience, materiality, and sound.

Join us for a fun and very hands-on Art Studio Live!, this Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. (MDT). We’ll be making our own dough and turning it into nature handprints inspired by the work of Kelly Akashi. Be sure to go outside and gather some natural materials. Looking forward to “seeing” you then!
