ANY EVER (Trailer), Ryan Trecartin PS1 from Ryan Trecartin on Vimeo.

We are delighted to share that this June MoMA PS1 presents Any Ever, the New York premiere of the artist Ryan Trecartin’s 2007-2010 body of work, produced in Miami with collaborator Lizzie Fitch and other contributors.

In November 2008, Ballroom Marfa chose Ryan Trecartin as the North American representative for the first installment of Art in the Auditorium, a month-long film and video series organized by Whitechapel Gallery in London. Each of the nine participating institutions selected an artist from their country to be included in the program.

This fall we will be participating in the third annual Art in the Auditorium with the artist Kelly Nipper. See more info HERE!

Each box has four seats with televisions and access to a club called the ’72 Club that will offer all inclusive food and beverages, including liquor

D: For a long time I had a horrible relationship with food.
It often helpful to have this done first, before psychological testing (as it may make psychological testing moot).
There was a lot of joy seeing her and the team accomplish that.

A year later in San Antonio, I saw VCU, an 11 seed relegated to a play in game, complete the most unlikely Final Four run ever by shocking Kansas, the Southwest Regional’s top seed.

Cass McCombs poster, designed by Jillian Tamaki and Jon Han.

I’ve been dying to work with Jillian Tamaki forever, after falling in love with her contribution to the Pencil Factory Newsprint, which won the Silver Medal from the Society of Illustrators in 2010. She’s an amazing illustrator and artist (her short comic “Domestic Men of Mystery” will be included in this year’s Best American Comics), and also recently did these insane needlepoint book covers for Penguin Classics. ANYWAY. She’s great. And I’m so happy to announce that she and her friend Jon Han designed the poster for the upcoming Cass McCombs show (tickets on sale here). The posters are being printed now, and will be in our store soon. (We’ll also be selling them at the show. Very limited-edition.) –NICKI

Update: The posters arrived, and they look amazing. Special thanks to Industry Screenprint in Austin for doing such a killer job. Onsale now!

Amsterdam’s excellent Grimm Gallery is showcasing Adam Helms’ new show, Blind Lion, his first solo exhibition in the Netherlands. (Helms was in the Ballroom shows You Are Here and Every Revolution Is a Roll of the Dice, as well as generously participated in our 2011 Benefit.) The title of the exhibition is derived from one of Helms’ most recent works, Untitled (LIFE: Marjan, Blind Lion), which refers to Marjan, the blind lion of Afghanistan’s Kabul Zoo. Marjan survived the Russian invasion and the Afghan civil war, but when a soldier threw a grenade into the lion’s den in 1993, Marjan was left wounded, deaf, and blind, and became a symbol for a country savaged by the duel forces of imperialism and fundamentalism. The show as a whole summons these themes, as well as cultural dystopia, colonialism, war, and 19th century American art of the frontier. It runs from 28 May to 9 July 2011.

Ballroom is delighted to announce that the Untitled sculpture series that we commissioned for Immaterial by Ballroom alum, current Chinati Artist-In-Residence, and dear friend Erin Shirreff will be featured in the MCA Denver’s Another Victory Over the Sun. Another Victory Over the Sun inverts the traditional relationship between architecture and art, in which the former frames the latter. During the exhibition, all the natural light in the museum will be blacked-out, allowing many of the works of art to bypass any architectural frame and act as their own source of illumination. The show opens tonight and also features Dan Flavin, Scott Johnson, Juan Muñoz, Melanie Smith, and David Zimmer.

We are beyond excited to announce our newest board member, Matthew Day Jackson. We exhibited Matt’s work in our 2005 exhibition, You Are Here, and again in 2007 for Nada Art Fair at Miami Basel. He also created silver knuckles, Sculpture for My Right Hand, as a special artist edition for Ballroom in 2008, as well as participated in our 2011 Benefit. He’s been a great supporter of Ballroom Marfa since the beginning, and it’s a total honor to have him on board.

And note: Matt has a new project, Super Comp Dragster Racing Team, which explores the high speed, ethanol ambitions of drag racing (and how intellectual and physical ventures of this sort can push us into new territories of good and evil). Read all about it here. And as always: LIVE FAST, DIE LAST.

“Rembrandt was Rembrandt, Picasso was Picasso, Kandinsky was Kandinsky, and Ferdinand is Ferdinand.”
— Roy Ferdinand

A lot of people have asked us about Roy Ferdinand, the artist currently featured in the Ballroom hallway as part of The World According to New Orleans. Triple Canopy has an awesome article about his life and art, “Way of the Righteous: The Art of Roy Ferdinand,” by Martina Batan, as told to Alexander Provan and Peter J. Russo. Batan also mentions Bruce Davenport, Jr. and his drawings of marching bands, and their similarity to Ferdinand’s work, which are also featured in The World According to New Orleans.

We had the honor of hosting Texas border historian and scholar Enrique Madrid and his wife Ruby as part of our Texas Biennial weekend with Alyce Santoro. Enrique and Ruby taught us how to prepare perfectly round tortillas — by following a scientific equation inspired by the laws of physics and the Big Bang. Jake Silverstein, editor of Texas Monthly, recently wrote about Enrique and his tortilla equation — as well as Enrique’s passion for saving endangered flavors and cooking as a critical cultural heritage. As Enrique says, “Sharing food is the most important human relationship there is. The more we eat the same foods, the more we can trust each other.”

You can read more about Enrique here, and watch Alyce Santoro’s video piece about him and Ruby and those perfectly round tortillas here.

Here are photos from Maria Jose Arjona’s piece, Situation, which she performed at our spring benefit in New York City, 12 April 2011. She was placed in the chair just before the event began, and stayed there until the end of the night. I love the crowd shots with her hovering in the background. Many thanks to Maria, as well as Rob Crowley, who both built and installed the piece.

We are thrilled to share MOS’s latest accomplishment –- Michael Meredith and Hilary Sample (MOS) will be one of five teams of architects working on MoMA’s 14 month program to rethink housing in American cities and suburbs in light of the foreclosure crisis. Completed proposals will be exhibited at MoMA from Jan. 31 through July 31, 2012. MOS has been working with Ballroom Marfa for over the past four years to design the Ballroom Marfa Drive-In, and Michael Meredith of MOS was a Chinati Artist-in-Residence in 2000. Read more about the project.

Each MoMA design team will focus on a “megaregion,” a metropolitan area that lies within a corridor between two major cities. MOS will focus on the Oranges in New Jersey.
