The charms of the installation art exhibits in Marfa, Texas are often lost on Americans but the place is very popular with German tourists. My favorite new experience in Marfa was a dark room filled with blue LEDs hung from wires (photo doesn't really do it justice due to massive overexposure compared to the darkness you feel with just your eyes) by Erwin Redl. Shortly before our little group was enjoying the high desert scenery and trying to understand the art, the Associated Press reported that "In a scene reminiscent of Somalia, frenzied [Iraqi] crowds dragged the burned, mutilated bodies of four American contractors through the streets of a town west of Baghdad on Wednesday and strung two of them up from a bridge" (source).
