Join us for a family workshop offered in conjunction with the exhibition Wynne Greenwood: “Kelly,” on view from September 16, 2015, to January 10, 2016, in the Fifth Floor gallery. In “Kelly,” Greenwood premieres the complete, newly remastered, and recently re-performed archive of her performances as Tracy + the Plastics (1999–2006), in which she plays all three parts in an all-girl band. In recent video works also featured in the exhibition, Greenwood uses sculptural heads as characters, putting them into conversation with each other. From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., create your own life-size head using foil, tape, balloons, paper bags, and other decorative materials. Participants will invent their own characters and then give voice to the new bodiless “cast members” of their own performance.
New Museum First Saturdays for Families are free of charge. This program is designed and recommended for families with children aged between four and twelve years, and includes free New Museum admission for up to two adults per family. Children under eighteen are always admitted free. No preregistration is required. Space is limited, and tickets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Your entire party must be present; tickets will not be given to partial parties.
