Last Saturday night, MoMA hosted the most recent installment of its after-hours art party series PopRally. This month’s event “Reliquary House” was a mulitmedia performance by Pitchfork recognized musician Oneohtrix Point Never and artist Nate Boyce. The event gives hipper-than-thou museum goers a chance to explore MoMA’s hallowed halls in the haze of nighttime and pale ale. The bar is sponsored by Brooklyn Brewery and the crowd is sponsored by...Brooklyn.
In the past few years performers have included Patti Smith, Cat Power, and Sigur Rós. This year’s events have centered around everything from video games to Lynne Ramsay's new film We Need to Talk About Kevin. The next PopRally event is January 10—an “exhibition viewing” and “cocktail reception” for soon-to-close show “New Photography 2011.” The event is only $12 (for an open bar!) and DJ Japanster will provide the musical entertainment. Obviously. So, for future MoMA partying endeavours, after the jump are five things we learned at MoMA PopRally.
