P.S.1
Contemporary Art Center is pleased to announce Warm Up 2003, the
critically acclaimed music festival that has become one of New York's most
anticipated summer events. Now in its sixth 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 5,
Warm Up 2003 will be held for 9 weeks, each Saturday afternoon through
August 30, from 3 p.m. - 9 p.m. Admission is $6.00.
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 (a.k.a San
Francisco's DJ SPUN) and Director of Music, Lokke Highstein (New
York-based DJ and musician Lo-Ki) and kicks off with Richie Hawtin,
also known as Plastikman, who will perform with computers, turntables,
drum machines and effects; Magda; live ambient percussion band Mice
Parade; and DJ Tree. Over the past five years, Warm Up has
hosted live performances by artists such as: Neil Aline, Antibalas, Anti
Pop Consortium, Thomas Brinkmann, DJ Craze, Charlie Dark, Vikter Duplaix,
Fischerspooner, Frederic Galliano, Kid Koala, Liminal, Arto Lindsay,
Francisco Lopez, Los Amigos Invisibles, Ming & FS, Nortec Collective,
Organic Grooves, Reid Speed, Ursula Rucker, Jimi Tenor, DJ Swamp, Swayzak,
Luke Vibert, Stuart Walker, Doc Martin, X-Press 2, Danny Wang, Harvey,
Peanut Butter Wolf, 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, Light-Wing, by EMERGENT/Tom Wiscombe,
provides an environment that provides shade and cool water basins during
the day, and transforms into a giant horizontal lantern at night. Since
1998, artists and architects including Gelatin, Philip Johnson, SHoP, ROY,
and William Massie 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. Light-Wing opens June 29.
Warm Up 2003 is made possible with the
generous support of The James Family Foundation, agnès b., and Brooklyn
Brewery.
