Do you like cookies? Music? Swiss conceptual art? It sounds too good to be true, but you can experience all three at PS1 this Sunday, April 9.
Scratch 'n Sniff is DJ Marilyn "Jelly Roll" Carino and Serena "Swiss Miss" Jost mixing live beats and sounds accompanied by the thrilling improvisations of Chuck MacKinnon on trumpet and Jim Campilongo on guitar. Scratch 'n Sniff will make you shake while WE bake, scrumptious cookies to accompany your perusal of PS1's "Reprocessing Reality" exhibit. The exhibition focuses on the relationship between the proliferation of documentary film and the escalating significance and prevalence of this genre in the art world today. The primarily European and intergenerational group of thirteen artists and artist teams approach documentary work through a variety of media, including sculpture, painting, film, and installation.
