French artists and thinkers will arrive in Marfa this weekend for Villa Albertine, an nationwide artist residency run by the the Cultural Services of the French Embassy, which will host a handful of multidisciplinary creators throughout the month of October with the goal of contemplating astrology, space exploration, dark skies, current environmental issues and more.
