During the Summer of 2016, I ran programs for the Boom Box Residencies series at the Brooklyn Museum. Here we invited DJs to mix on Tom Sach’s Boombox Retrospective: 1999–2016 installation placed in the museum’s lobby.
I particularly curated the DJing event for July 28th, 2016 where Tom Sachs’s Presidential Vampire Booth hosted No Vacancy Inn (Tremaine Emory and Acyde) and special guests Venus X and NY Theo (Theophilus London). They also ran Sachs’s Bodega, a combination artwork and working store in the middle of our glass entryway, where they sold homemade red velvet cake, USB mixes, and T-shirts.
