P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center is pleased to
announce Warm Up 2002, the critically acclaimed
music festival that has become one of New York's
most anticipated summer events. Now in its fifth
year, Warm Up brings together music and visual
arts with performances by local and international
DJs and 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 6, Warm Up 2002 will be
held for 9 weeks, each Saturday afternoon through
August 31, 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
Francisco1s DJ SPUN) and Music Advisor Lokke
Highstein (New York-based DJ and musician Lo-Ki)
and kicks off with Twerk, Joeski, Rob Paine & the
Solomonic Sound System, and DJ Still. Over the
past four 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, Karl
Hancock Rux, Jimi Tenor, DJ Spooky, DJ Swamp,
Swayzak, Luke Vibert, Stuart Walker and many
more.
This year marks the third annual MoMA/P.S.1
Young Architects Program, a five-year competition
that gives emerging architects the opportunity to
realize an outdoor environment designed to host
the Warm Up series. This year's winner, William E.
Massie, has created a highly graphic landscape
that unites the site1s natural and built elements
and addresses concepts of surface and sensuality.
Installed in P.S.1's 40,000 square foot courtyard,
Massie's environment, titled Playa Urbana / Urban
Beach, incorporates wave-like structures made of
PVC tubing that wind throughout the courtyard
providing shade and shelter, while reflecting pools,
showers, and a hot tub offer visitors alternatives to
the summer heat. Since 1998, artists and architects
including Gelatin, Philip Johnson, SHoP, and ROY
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. Playa Urbana / Urban Beach
opens June 30.
The MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program is
made possible by Judy and Peter Price. Additional
generous support is provided by the National
Endowment for the Arts, Peter Norton and the
Peter Norton Family Foundation, Agnes Gund and
Daniel Shapiro, The Contemporary Arts Council of
The Museum of Modern Art, Dr. Axel and Lili
Stawski, George S. Kaufman, and other individual
donors.
Warm Up 2002 is made possible with the generous
support of The James Family Foundation, Target,
agnès b., Brooklyn Brewery, and The Junior
Associates of The Museum of Modern Art.
