From the Living Art’s site:
Each episode follows contemporary artists working in a different American city. From the sun-washed walls of Los Angeles to the vibrant streets of Atlanta, from the jazz-infused culture of New Orleans to the stark desert landscapes of Marfa, LIVING ART captures the energy of artists nationwide and how they are transforming modern art.

Back in 2001, Buck and Camp, the cofounders of @wrongmarfa, decided to test their burgeoning three-month-old relationship with a road trip out west. What started as a pit stop in Marfa ended up being a more permanent stay when they fell head over heels for the tiny town. Today, their multihyphenate storefront, gallery, and bar occupies a 2,000-square-foot space in the center of town, which formerly housed the town’s barber shop, car dealership, and most recently, the local newspaper’s headquarters. Now, the structure’s original windows light up with the bright desert sun, bouncing off lacquered hot pink floors—Johnston’s signature touch. “All artwork looks good with a pink floor,” the former graphic designer says. A 1930s chandelier from the Hotel Paso del Norte in El Paso hangs above a custom asterisk-shaped table, giving patrons ample room to admire curated wares on each of the table’s wings. Though the couple claim that Wrong’s evolution has unfolded off the cuff—“We just fell into it, and it worked,” Johnston says—their keen curatorial eye and the community they’ve built solidifies Wrong as a Marfa mainstay. “If we get pushback, we know we’re doing something right,” Bosworth confirms. For our annual American design issue, we rounded up five galleries from across the country that are pushing the design scene forward. Check them all out at the link in our bio.

is pleased to present
Abel Macias
LOS ANIMALES
Original paintings on handmade paper

Opening October 8, 5-7 pm

Abel Macias is a painter and muralist taking inspiration from the natural world. Focusing on a variety of kaleidoscopic landscapes, as well as folkloric imagery drawn from his Mexican heritage, Macias applies a bold, expressive palette with textural brushstrokes. Macias entertains the notion that his paintings are not merely meant to be examined from his point of view but to be experienced from a more universal lens. He actively zooms in and out of focus, capturing both the grandeur and the minutiae of his subject matter. The result is a complex overlay where background and foreground blend seamlessly, and the space between objects dissolves.

Exhibition October 8 - December 13

GOOD WOOD
Paintings by Marion Quick
Fifty folk stools by Camp Bosworth

WRONG
110 N Highland Ave
in beautiful downtown Marfa

Marion Quick grew up in Marfa, Texas and is known for his paintings and solar etchings of the Big Bend landscape.

Camp Bosworth lives and works in Marfa, TX and is the better half of the Wrong team duo. His carved wooden stools are from pieces he’s been collecting for over 30 years — good wood too beautiful for firewood but no sure purpose until his decision to make 50 funky folky stools.

We hope you will join us.
We will have Wrong Bar drink specials.
And air cooled for your summer comfort.

To further assist your Agave Festival enjoyment next week,

Wrong Bar will be hosting the following tastings:

Friday, June 5, 3-4 pm:
BORDERLAND SPIRITS
Focused on the Mexican border state of Sonora, our friend Michael Hurely will be sharing BAtUQ Bacanoras and Mazot Bacanora and Palmilla and more!
@borderlandspirits

Friday, June 5, 4-5 pm:
CREADOR
Our friend Marcus Piña, founder of Creador Agave Spirits, likely has the largest collection of bulk mezcal resting in glass outside of Mexico. Now that José Alberto’s mezcal has rested in Texas for over two years (and in most cases, was produced long before that), Marcus is ready to share some of those spirits with you and taste through what happens when you rest mezcal in glass. Mezcal changes gradually when rested in glass, over years. We’ll explore some of those changes in this special tasting.
@creadorspirits

Saturday, June 6, 4:20-6 pm
HEAVY MÉTL Premium Imports and that crazy sweetheart Philipp
