Also, on March 2nd, The Clientele, a really outstanding band from London,
England, with 5 great albums to their credit, will be playing the bookstore.
This one is sort of a coup. In my opinion, "Suburban Light" from 2000 is
one of the best pop records of the decade. Thoughtful, atmospheric stuff.
(3 "Best New Music" nominations from Pitchfork.com, by the way.) And,
as if that weren't enough, Candles will open.

At Second Floor
Hwy 90 West
March 6 - May 31, 2022
You are invited to an opening reception to view Part I of Capture on Saturday, March 6, 6-8pm, beverages provided.
NY-based artist J. Beck follows his installation at the Lawndale Art Center in Houston with a two-part exhibition at Second Floor in Marfa, Texas. The initial phase of the installation commences next week (March 2 - 6) and will be created on-site in real-time. A variety of works on paper will provide a glimpse of the exterior complement, to be completed between April 9 - 16. Built forms and structural pieces reminiscent of Beck's previous works will be extended from the stairwell and sides of our beloved silver box. Viewers are welcome to swing by Second Floor throughout these periods to witness Jarrod's creative process firsthand. We'll be hosting two separate receptions to communicate Capture - March 6 and April 16.
