Since its founding in the storied but remote West Texas town of Marfa, Ballroom Marfa has punched above its weight. From shows including renowned artists Takashi Murakami, Rashid Johnson, and Guadalupe Maravilla, to Elmgreen & Dragset’s now-iconicPrada Marfa installation, to live performances by Sonic Youth and shock-master John Waters, to large-scale commissions from Agnes Denes and Haroon Mirza, Ballroom’s impact has reverberated far beyond the desert.
