| P.S.1 Contemporary
Art Center is pleased to announce Warm Up 2004, the critically
acclaimed music festival that has become one of New York’s
most anticipated summer events. Now in its seventh year,
Warm Up brings together music and visual arts with performances
by local and international DJs and live bands, drawing thousands
of people each week, including artists, families, and club-goers
to dance, relax, and cool off in an innovative architectural
installation in P.S.1’s outdoor galleries. Opening
July 3, Warm Up 2004 will be held for 10 weeks, each Saturday
afternoon through September 4, from 3 p.m. – 9 p.m.
Admission is $8.00.
Crowds have flocked to P.S.1 to hear an eclectic mix of
sounds from experimental and established DJs and musicians,
ranging from techno samples and house beats to hip hop poetry
and Latin-inspired electronic rock. This year's music series
is organized by P.S.1 Summer Music Series Coordinator Jason
Drummond and Director of Music, Lokke Highstein and kicks
off with Trevor Jackson, Madlib, and Peanut Butter Wolf.
Over the past six years, Warm Up has hosted live performances
and DJ sets by artists such as: Afrika Bambaataa, Mad Professor,
Richie Hawtin, Danny Krivit, Nicky Siano, Neil Aline, DJ
Craze, Charlie Dark, Vikter Duplaix, Fischerspooner, Frederic
Galliano, Kid Koala, Arto Lindsay, Ming & FS, Nortec
Collective, Stacey Pullen, Ursula Rucker, DJ Swamp, Swayzak,
Luke Vibert, Doc Martin, X-Press 2, Danny Wang, Harvey,
and many more.
This year marks the fifth annual MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects
Program, a competition that gives emerging architects the
opportunity to realize an outdoor environment designed to
host the Warm Up series. This year’s project, Canopy,
by nARCHITECTS, is constructed primarily of freshly cut
green bamboo, and features spaces for lounging and relaxation
including a wading pool and a sandy area for sunbathers.
Since 1998, artists and architects including Gelatin, Philip
Johnson, SHoP, ROY, William Massie, and EMERGENT/Tom Wiscombe
have transformed P.S.1’s courtyard into an urban beach
with works of interactive architecture and sculpture that
have inspired both critics and audiences alike. Canopy opens
June 27.
Warm Up 2004 is made possible with the generous support
of agnès b., James Family Foundation, Mondavi Winery
and Brooklyn Brewery.
