Sarah HigginsGUEST
Well, I was attending a kind of specialized one.
Sarah HigginsGUEST
I was at the, um, Printed Matter's, uh, art book fair that's at PS1, and because I was working that fair, I didn't attend any of the others.
Josh BaerHOST
I was traveling, so I didn't attend any of the others too, but-
Sarah HigginsGUEST
[laughs] Well, look at us.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
And there was this one part.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
So PS1 is a modern art museum in Queens.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
Yeah, very cool.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
Very, very cool.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
recorded in a special way.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
And then you walk down these stairs.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
You go into the basement of PS1.
Kurt BraunohlerHOST
And then she says, come here.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
but had a whole series of works that were dealing with race and constructions of race in complicated ways.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
And there was a big show of hers at PS1 that was glorious, but I don't remember that they really dealt with the racial constructs in the work head on.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
And that was very explicitly dealt with at a show of hers.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
I did read an interview where she was talking about that and like what to do with it.
10 MINS LATER
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
I mean, I could pick one every week.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
But I will say one thing that was just a small surprise that was very nice.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
I went to see the Greater New York show at PS1.
Kaelen Wilson-GoldieGUEST
And there's a room full of photographs by Dean Majid of Palestinians in New York.
PeterHOST
So for three years, we saw each other on weekends in one city or the other, depending on which had more on offer that weekend, a party, a wedding, or some other event.
PeterHOST
In New York, we ranged all over Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Queens from PS1, Coney Island, and Greenwood Cemetery to flea markets in the Village, the Cloisters in Upper Manhattan, and the annual Dog Halloween Costume Contest in Fort Greene Park.
PeterHOST
A typical day might start with a subway ride to the Upper East Side to see a show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, followed by a long walk back down through Central Park and Midtown, wandering, snacking, and shopping along the way, then buying a piece of fish in Chinatown and walking over the Brooklyn Bridge and back to Anna's place to make dinner.
PeterHOST
During the course of our travels, we developed some favorite destinations, one of which was a bar on the Lower East Side called lowercase d.b.a.
Ambre KellyGUEST
Um,
Andrew GoriGUEST
It had like a PS1 vibe, narrow hallways, teal colors.
Andrew GoriGUEST
And I think the reaction from that was so positive.
Andrew GoriGUEST
Again, it was only a one night thing like we were doing in the gym that was attached to the school.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
...
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
October 6th, and it's gonna be at MoMA PS1, our amazing partner who's been hosting the gala for the last several years.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
And it's kind of like a mini Vendys.
Mohamed AttiaGUEST
Maybe just to put it out there, if you are used to going to the Vendys and, like, having the fun of, you know, tasting 20 different vendors, this year we have eight different vendors.
Laurie WooleverHOST
I am also on the host committee for the Street Vendor Project Gala called Street Heroes.
Laurie WooleverHOST
That is on Tuesday, October 6th in New York City at MoMA PS1.
Laurie WooleverHOST
It's a super fun, it's called a gala, but it's not really a gala.
Laurie WooleverHOST
I mean, you can dress up if you want.
Laurie WooleverHOST
Some people do, but most people are kind of casual.
Laurie WooleverHOST
It's a Really cool outdoor event in the courtyard of MoMA PS1.
Laurie WooleverHOST
Some of the best street food vendors come and the ticket price gets you as much food and as many cocktails and beers or sodas and waters as you want.
Laurie WooleverHOST
It's a really, it's a super fun event.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
Um, you're bringing back a memory.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
Was it PS1 that used to have the dance party? Like I would love that dance party.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
And that was fully, fully mixed.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
Um, that specific conversation that I was talking about was, um, and you're absolutely right.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
Yeah.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
I could never.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
But yes, I could go like probably like I love dancing at PS1 or just a bunch of like mixed strangers.
Brian Rubin-SowersHOST
And that was so much fun.
William RamseyHOST
You can see the size of the BCCI piece right there.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this is Mark at the show at PS1.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Looks really happy there.
speaker_11SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
You know, he's showing his biggest drawing he's ever made.
Ajay KurianHOST
And if the body makes you uncomfortable, you can't just retreat above the neck.
Ajay KurianHOST
He's currently showing at MoMA PS1's Greater New York, a survey of the New York art scene that happens once every five years, which is the most eyes he's ever had on his work.
Ajay KurianHOST
I've known Vijay since he was an undergrad.
Ajay KurianHOST
My first visit with him was back in 2016 at MICA, the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Ajay KurianHOST
It's just like one method among many.
Vijay MasharaniGUEST
Yeah, so it's like, it makes you turn your head, but then you, like, kind of also stick with it, and you're like, wait, what? I mean, like, maybe it should be good to put, like, something concrete to it.
Vijay MasharaniGUEST
Like, I think in the second video that I have on view in this trilogy at PS1, the green tank.
Vijay MasharaniGUEST
Right.
