holding pattern installation
The hottest, sweatiest dance-party series of the summer kicks off July 2 at MoMA PS1 as Warm Up gets under way. Situated in the sumptuous courtyard, where Interboro Partners & WHATAMI by start has installed the fun and fanciful “Holding Pattern,” which includes Ping-Pong, foosball, kiddie pools, a sandbox, oak and plum trees, white ribbons, and a cool mirror area (nearly all of which will be donated to the local community at the end of the season), Warm Up features live musical performances and DJ sets by some of the fabbest people around. The July 2 lineup consists of DJ Pierre, Beautiful Swimmers, Delicate Steve, Protect-U, and Zoovox, followed on July 9 by the amazing Four Tet, Fatty DL, SBTRKT, Bronze, Matthewdavid, and TURRBOTAX® DJs. On July 16, agnès b. presents Audio Love by Juan + Johnny, Joakim, Koudlam, and Mirror Mirror. Among the other highlights to watch out for are DJ sets by Gang Gang Dance on July 23, Das Racist on July 30, Simian Mobile Disco on August 6, and His Name Is Alive on August 13 and live sets by XXYY on July 30, Juan Maclean, Blood Orange, and Grimes on August 20, and Justin Miller on September 3. As always, the museum will be open as well, so be sure to catch the ultrahip “Ryan Trecartin: Any Ever,” Laurel Nakadate’s powerfully evocative “Only the Lonely,” Nancy Grossman’s fetishized “Heads,” and the second half of the dual MoMA/PS1 exhibition “Francis Alÿs: A Story of Deception,” especially the magnificent film Guards and a collection of camera guns in the café that you are allowed to pick up.
