Tuesday, July 24 | 8:00–11:00
p.m.
The Museum of Modern Art
In conjunction with MoMA's Automatic
Update exhibition, PopRally presents an evening of live
performances, art, and music with Paper Rad, featuring Cory Arcangel
and special guests.
Influenced by 1980s mass media and pop iconography—from Garfield
to Gumby to Trolls—Paper Rad (Jessica Ciocci, Jacob Ciocci, and
Ben Jones) playfully combines found footage from TV and the Internet
with original animations to create utopian, rainbow-filled environments
that elicit nostalgia for the throwaway technology and images that
have permeated the last two decades.
This event will feature performances by Ben Jones, Cory Arcangel,
Slow Jams Band, and DJ Jazzy Jexxx. The artists create
a psychedelic landscape where viewers can, at their whim, tune
in, tune out, revel, and reflect on the ways in which the "new-media
era" of the recent past has changed the way we comprehend art,
music, and culture.
Guests of this event are also invited to a special after-hours viewing
of the Automatic
Update exhibition.
Tickets are $10 and are available at the lobby information desk and at
the Film desk, or online through Ticketweb.com.
