P.S. 1 Warm Ups

by dklein on July 27th, 2008

On Saturday I finally made out to P.S. 1 to check out their Warm Up party. Although the line was ridiculously long and it was insanely crowded, it was still a lot of fun.

The public farm exhibit (P.F. 1) in the courtyard is very cool, and the music by James Murphy and Pat Mahoney from DFA/ CD Soundsystem was awesome.

The exhibits inside the museum were part bizarre part interesting, but worth seeing. Plus, the apartment adjacent to the museum hosts some pretty great entertainment of its own:
