This spring, MoMA PS1 presents a retrospective of artist, activist, and musician Alanis Obomsawin (Abenaki, b. 1932), one of Canada’s most renowned filmmakers. The exhibition spans six decades of her multidisciplinary practice, bringing together a selection of films, sculptures, and sound, as well as rarely seen ephemera that sheds light on their production.

In the video Reserved (2006), Bani Abidi (Pakistani, b.1971) depicts a city at a standstill, its residents awaiting the arrival of an unspecified dignitary. Schoolchildren line a roadside with flags in hand; cars idle behind traffic barricades; an empty auditorium slowly fills; tense bureaucrats prepare for imminent political pageantry. Meanwhile, a motorcade winds through the streets.

Now in its 27th season, MoMA PS1’s signature summer music series Warm Up invites audiences to discover underground and emerging talent. Warm Up charts origin points for innovations in electronic music on Friday evenings at an hour that welcomes audiences of all ages.

One of artist James Turrell’s celebrated Skyspaces, Meeting is a site-specific installation that invites viewers to gaze upwards toward an unobstructed view of the sky. The installation features a multicolored lighting program synchronized to sunrise and sunset that subtly shifts in color as the sky gradates into darkness. Join MoMA PS1 for a special, after-hours viewing on the first Monday of every month, from June through October. These viewings have limited capacity and require an advance ticket.
