Cool Hunting
On 30 June 2007 P.S.1 presents the opening day of their annual summer dance party, Warm Up, hosted by DFA Records. They've got DJ sets by Juan Maclean, Shit Robot (Marcus Lamkin) and Tim & Tim (Tim Goldsworthy and Tim Sweeney), as well as a live performance by Invisible Conga People, on the lineup—sweet!
The backdrop of this year’s Warm Up is Liquid Sky (pictured) by Los Angeles-based firm Ball-Nogues , winner of the 2007 MoMA/P.S.1 Young Architects Program. (Also see Maximillian's Schell and our video featuring their collaborators Materials and Applications.) Liquid Sky immerses the viewer in kaleidoscopic color created by sunlight filtering through an array of translucent, tinted Mylar petals that resemble blossoming flowers of stained glass. 
They're also installing brightly-colored community hammocks and "Droopscape," a shifting and flowing piece supported by drench towers that periodically soak visitors below with their gravity-induced tip buckets.
Together, the music, architecture and exhibition program provide a unique multi-sensory experience for music fans, artists and families alike. The amazing installations and large open spaces at P.S.1 make it the perfect setting for the upbeat dance music of DFA. It's really the most fun summer party with the best mixture of music and art and is not to be missed. I know I say that often, but I really mean it this time.

by Ariston Anderson Street artist Banksy makes breaking the rules an artform, but his current exhibit, a legal installation of over 100 pieces at Bristol's City Museum & Art Gallery is surprising even his closest followers. Playing on earlier covert stunts that targeted the Tate and MoMA, in an unusual reversal, this time the institution welcomes the anonymous artist with open arms for his...
by Bailee Wolfson Good news for cell phone addicts everywhere—on Monday 26 January 2009 our friends at LVHRD, the NY-based arts collective, is at it again with another unique event. Unlike their last (CLL) PHN-LCKN (pictured above) this time you can bring your phone and will be using it throughout the party. Drinks are on the house—Dewars and Sapporo—and a camera is a must, as...
Sol LeWitt's final triumph opened today at the MASS MoCA. Conceived by the artist before his death last year, he developed the idea with the Yale University Art Gallery, and then partnered with the MASS MOCA and the Williams College Museum of Art to create it. The 27,000 sq foot installation of his Wall Drawings comfortably lives on three floors in the newly renovated...
In conjunction with Creative Time, Playing the Building is an installation by David Byrne that transformed a 9,000 square foot abandoned room in Lower Manhattan's Battery Maritime Building into an instrument for the summer. An antique pump organ controls devices that create sounds using the building's infrastructure, including heating pipes, metal beams and pillars. For a special event last month, curator Mark Beasley invited...
Absolut Machines is Absolut's promotional initiative that explores where technology meets design in the form of two "machines." Last night we got to check out one, the Absolut Quartet, an interactive multi-instrumental robotic machine. It consists of a marimba played by rubber balls precisely shot from a robotic cannon, a series of spinning wineglasses dampened by robotic fingers and an array of percussive instruments....
Flavorpill's One Step Beyond Party is taking over the American Museum of Natural History once again this upcoming Friday, 14 September 2007, this time with Bonde Do Role, Plastic Little and King Britt. After a short summer hiatus, the party comes back bigger than ever with some Brazilian baile funk and quick-witted raps. We're not sure the Hall of the Universe will be able...
