ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 presents
Electrical Banana: Masters of Psychedelic Art
4–6 PM
Mini-Kunsthalle
Join ARTBOOK @ MoMA PS1 for the launch of Electrical Banana: Masters of Psychedelic Art, published by Damiani. Legendary artist/illustrator Gary Panter presents a light show with music, to be followed by a talk and book signing with co-authors Norman Hathaway, creative director and expert on psychedelic art and music history, and Dan Nadel, publisher of PictureBox books. Electrical Banana is the first definitive examination of the international language of psychedelia, focusing on the most important practitioners in their respective fields. Compiling hundreds of never-before-seen images and exclusive interviews and essays, the book revises and expands the common perception of psychedelic art, revealing it to be more innovative, compelling, and revolutionary than previously acknowledged.
ABOUT SUNDAY SESSIONS
Every Sunday between February 5 and May 13, 2012, the MoMA PS1 Performance Dome will house Sunday Sessions, featuring an amalgam of artistic programming—from light, sound, and music installations to lectures by world-renowned scholars and special performances. Various other galleries and rooms inside of the former schoolhouse will also be activated during these weekly sessions.
Sunday Sessions is supported in part by The Junior Associates of The Museum of Modern Art.
