Culture Wars, Bowties, and Boston
|
On April 28, over 80 participants gathered at the 92YTribeca in New York City for the third Culture Wars: A Night of Trivia with Art21 which was inspired by spring and the vernal equinox. Fifteen teams battled through three rounds of trivia, including representatives from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Art in General, the Whitney Museum, the Studio Museum, the Queens Museum of Art, Brooklyn Museum, The Brooklyn Historical Society, RXArt, America: Now and Here, CUNY Grad Center, prize sponsors 20x200, and some of New York City's most passionate art lovers.
The third installment of Culture Wars provided fertile ground for some healthy competition. Six teams finished with tied scores and competed in a final elimination round. In the end, Brooklyn Historical Society left the competition in the dust, taking home prizes provided by 20x200; the MoMAtes, a team comprised of former MoMA interns, finished in second place, receiving prizes provided by the Phaidon Store in SoHo; and a team from CUNY Graduate Center Team emerged victorious in sudden elimination nabbing prizes from Art21 and the 92YTribeca.
Thanks to all who joined us that night! Big thanks to our prize sponsors at 20x200 and the Phaidon Store in SoHo, and, of course, to our lovely collaborators at the 92YTribeca.
Catch up with the night's Twitter activity by following the hashtag #culturewars.
Boston, be prepared! Art21 is coming to The Institute of Contemporary Art! Mark your calendars and brush up on your trivia for a special Beantown edition of Culture Wars: A Night of Trivia with Art21, taking place next Thursday, May 13, starting at 6:30 p.m. If you are in Boston, come to say hello and stay to be victorious.

Tabaimo at 601Artspace, Curated by Susan Sollins
|
Now on view at 601Artspace in New York City is an exhibition of works by Japanese artist Tabaimo curated by Art21 Executive Director Susan Sollins.
The exhibition includes a large-scale video installation, dolefullhouse (2007), along with a selection of drawings from her Tawamushi (2008) series.
Utilizing sophisticated computer animation technology, thousands of drawings, and a palette that refers to the tradition of Japanese woodblock prints, Tabaimo's video installations, including dolefullhouse, are presented within and upon a constructed space that creates a sense of physical or psychological intimacy. About this work, Tabaimo says, "I want to create layers of worlds."
The exhibition is on view through July 9. Gallery hours are Tuesdays and Fridays, 2-6 p.m., or by appointment. Call 212-243-2735, email [email protected], or visit the 601Artspace Web site for more information.
