For the third consecutive summer, P.S.1 presents Warm Up 2000, P.S.1’s critically acclaimed and enormously popular DJ series held in the outdoor galleries. Last year, Warm Up took place in a fantastic outdoor pavilion by renowned architect Philip Johnson and in 1998, audiences danced in an inflatable playground by Austrian artists Gelatin.
First initiated by Alanna Heiss, Klaus Biesenbach and agnès b., P.S.1’s Warm Up DJ series has been hailed as “one of summer’s sweetest treats.” Speaking of the crowds, one reviewer asserted, “It’s as close to collective happiness as you could possibly come.” Over the past two years crowds flocked to the frenzied, experimental sounds of local and international DJs and live musicians: Dimitri from Paris, Gilb-R, Bob Sinclair, Lo-Ki, I-Sound, Thomas Brinkmann, Dean Roberts, Neil Aline, FischerSpooner, Jim O’Rourke, Peter Rehberg, Jimi Tenor, Andrea Parker, and many more.
Warm Up 2000 DJ series is generously supported by agnès b. and Maria Rosa and Gilberto Sandretto. Additional support for Warm Up 2000 is provided by Brooklyn Brewery, EVIAN Natural Spring Water and Technomad.
To celebrate the 10th Anniversary of Warm Up P.S.1 has partnered with Coverage 3D, a collaborative project of photo-journalists, 3D artists, and interactive designers, to create a 3-dimensional, interactive tour of the P.S.1 spaces, exhibitions, and events during Warm Up. The result features video interviews and performances, slideshows, and many surprises.
