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.
