Marfa Open Preview Exhibition + Reception

Marfa Open is proud to premiere this incredible exhibition of new works from artists Tim Kerr and Robert Hodge. The show will feature new collaborative works by both artists as well as some new and selected works from the individual artists.

Gallery will be open every day May 4-7, 2023 and the artists will be in attendance each day. We’re extending our regular gallery hours for our opening weekend exhibition and we’ll be open from 11AM until well after midnight. This is a free event and is open to the public.

There are a very limited number of signed and numbered show prints available exclusively at Marfa Open and please contact us to reserve one.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS + THEIR WORK

Hodge-Kerr is a collaboration between Houston-based artist and impresario Robert Hodge and Austin-based musician and artist Tim Kerr. Individually, their work is steeped in the rich history between music and pop culture, and they share a deep interest in racial equality and human rights. With mutual admiration and converging interests, from color palette to messaging to medium, they have come together to entwine a creative vision. Hodge brings his musically inspired collage work using screen-printing, stencils, stitching and record covers to survey the jazz landscape and southern hip hop culture. Kerr translates his musical history and voice in the early days of punk and DIY, to the blues, free jazz and sounds of Irish folk music into portraits, political messaging, and vibrant colors. Musical voices are thereby lavishly layered in historical context, creating a visible synergy far beyond the sum of its parts.

Opening WEEKEND Reception

 
 

Opening Weekend Artist Reception + After Party
May 4-7, 2023

A show like this requires more than just a typical opening night artists reception vibe. We’re going to keep things going all weekend long and essentially we’re having a party every night of the weekend. Beginning on Thursday May 4, 2023 our gallery opens at 11AM and the artists will be around throughout the day until very late. You’re invited to come see the work and say hello to the artists and then sit around in our courtyard by the firepit enjoying a drink and conversation with the artists and other assorted characters who might be hanging out. We’ll be keeping very late hours [usually until 2AM or so] and everyone is invited to join our afterparty.

We’ll go at it again on Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. We’ll go back to our regular business hours of 11AM-7PM every day of the week.
