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. Following is the current lineup for Warm Up 2004. This schedule subject to change. Please check www.ps1.org for more information and www.wps1.org.
