For enhanced hearing in the galleries, FM headsets and neck loops are available at the meeting spot.


In conjunction with the exhibition Looking at Music 3.0



Looking at Music 3.0, the third in a series of exhibitions exploring the influence of music on contemporary art practices, focuses on New York in the 1980s and 1990s. In this dynamic period, imaginative forms of street art spread across the five boroughs, articulating the counter-culture tenor of the times. As the city transitioned from bankruptcy to solvency, graffiti, media, and performance artists took advantage of low rents and collaborated on ad hoc works shown in alternative spaces and underground clubs. Appropriation, also known as remixing, thrived. Approximately 70 works from a wide range of artists and musicians will be on view, including works by the Beastie Boys, Kathleen Hanna and Le Tigre, Keith Haring, Christian Marclay, Steven Parrino, Run DMC, and Joanie 4 Jackie, a video chain letter founded by Miranda July.

[pshabi]

Well.....the homies are sending me text messages with pictures as I type this. They are outside the museum, listening to the King spin old school hip hop. A couple of pictures were taken from about a foot away in what appears to be a very relaxed atmosphere.

Kicking myself for not being able to join them.

[Drusyc]

It was pretty cool. Adam was Djing in this garden courtyard area, in front of this pond. He was pretty social, taking a lot of pictures with people and stuff. I got one... my brothers shaky cam-work kind of messed it up but ehhh :cool:

I got my Cey Adams poster signed, too.

I also saw Jim Shearer there, who does 'The Brouhaha' podcast.

My MoMA/Adrock experience:

I got to the museum just after 5:30. Headed to the display they had on the second floor. They had monitors where you could watch music videos or listen to classic records. They were showing the videos for Sabotage, Weezer's Buddy Holly, and some others. You could also listen to Run-DMC or Bambaataa or Kraftwerk on headphones.

My wife arrived and we headed outside to the garden area where Adrock was DJing. He didn't address the entire crowd as far as I can remember. His set was great (he played some X-Ray Spex, KRS-One, Grandmaster Flash, but no Beasties).

I took some iPhone pics of him from afar. Cey Adams was hanging around, but I did not see Kathleen Hanna.

Adam would come over to talk to the people and pose for photos/sign autographs. I was standing next to the turntable/laptop setup and I politely asked him if I could please get a picture with him and he politely said yes, in just a minute. He had a lengthy chat with middle-aged gentleman standing next to me, who turned out to be Bill Adler. Finally, he made his way over to me and my wife.

I shook his hand and he asked me if we'd met before. He said I looked familiar. I said no, we've never met. He said he thought he recognized me from somewhere. I said, "Well, I'm from Brooklyn." And he said something like, "Ah, that may be it."

Then he posed for a couple of pics with me. Very nice guy. Not only can he rhyme, but he can DJ too. It was a great night. He made my year. :)

[lyneday]

I got into the city by 5. Literally walked into Vinny, Pooty and gang as we were walking to the MoMa. Got in to the museum around 5:15 - saw a set up out in the garden so I asked the info booth if that's where the event was and it was.
Grabbed a few chairs and sat waiting for Adam to come out. I was somewhat disappointed that he used a lap top and did not play not one record, he didn't even put headphones on.
He played a little bit of everything for everyone but NO Beasties!! He's really on a dubstep kick, I felt I heard more dubstep tracks than any other genre - I can't escape it. He did play lots of tracks that they sampled but again NO Beasties =o(

I was standing in front of Bill Adler when he squeezed his way up front and he was way too close to comfort. I was about to say something to him until Adam recognized him and started talking to him and his daughter (BrooklynDown I was to Bills left so we were in the same area)

I waited close to 2 hours for Adam to finally come over and sign my NY Magazine article from AIFST. I didn't get any good pictures with him until the end when he was walking out (thank you Pooty!)

I did a quick run thru of the actual exhibit. I'll have to go back to spend more time in there before it's over.

Jim it was nice to meet you. Do you mind if I share the video?

I was wearing an LA Dodgers cap. Maybe I'm in that video, I haven't checked.

shout outs to Laver who I met briefly yesterday (y)

[JoLovesMCA]

Can I add that Kathleen is so beautiful and that I knew Adam would not be able to answer the pudding thing. There’s not always a rhyme or reason behind lyrics but it’s cute. Anyway her interview was my favorite. Peanut butter pants. Ahhhhhhhh cute cute cute!!!!!! Damn why do I gotta be in Texas when cool shit happens!

[jak692]

Ad-Rock probably felt uncomfortable because he wanted to do his own thing and not play beasties and also like most artists didn't want to reveal any meanings behind ambiguous lyrics. So when it was asked over and over again with a camera in his face I can see how that prob made him a little uncomfortable.

Either way, the pudding is poop. poop is doo-doo. adrock has the dee- double -oh -dee - double-oh style. starting to get it?

[Splashleigh]

i'll take both (y)

absolutely

[Rodie]

Playlist ?

Yeah someone spill the beans

[lyneday]

As for a playlist, not sure anyone really kept track. He jumped around - hip hop classics, funk, soul, punk, dubstep, regge

Some board members made it into Paper Mag

ROCK-A-DELIK! FUNK-A-DELIK! MACHIAVELIK!

[Pootytang]

So, who was the (video) camera operator?

Mr. Juice

[Kid Presentable]

Mr. Juice

Cool. Interesting approach.

[LongDuckDong]

Finally watched this youtube video. Looked like a great, intimate way to spend the evening with such superb ppl. Super great to see Laver and Pooty and the others fly across the country for this event.

[the9thbeastie]

I am slowly going through my collection and trying to figure out what all I have and what I am missing - apparently some of you attended this event at the Museum of Modern Art and may have recorded it (audio or video) - the you tube videos are no longer available. If you would consider sharing whatever you recorded - I'd love to add it to me collection.

For that matter - looking for any of the DJ sets that Michael and Adam have done in recent years. You can reach me at ninthbeastie@hotmail.com

[dirtydan11]

The homies Laver and Pootytang are gonna be there.

(y)(y)

[dirtydan11]

I think Pootytang only comes to the board on Easter every year now so his Mike D siggy shows relevance. Good to see you! Hoppy Easter!

[Laver1969]

I'm not sure if anyone recorded Adrock's whole set. I know Mr. Juice aka recorded a bunch for his short video he put together. Not sure if he has a bunch of footage saved up or not. I'll shoot him a note.

[abbott]

thanks for the updates, As always wish I was there

sounds fucking awesome

[JohnnyChavello]

Jim Shearer recorded some of it. I think this is the only footage I've seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJGfdCyOMTg
