Ballroom Marfa presented a lecture by Anthony Elms at the Marfa Book Company in which Elms discussed his work as a curator, editor and artist. More specifically he addressed his work in White Petals Surround Your Yellow Heart, at the ICA in Philadelphia. The exhibition, which featured Genesis P Orrige, Bernadette Corporation, Dexter Sinister, Zoe Leonard, Erin Leland and Frances Stark, among others, presented the work of artists engaged with clothing, adornment, and self-presentation within the context of identity.
