Video Jam at Knockdown Center
Queens, New York
Friday, July 21, 2017

For our New York debut we presented a programme of short films and live accompaniment responding to the musical, cultural and artistic influences of artist Jean-Michel Basquiat. The programme included work by both emerging and mid-career artists of Basquiat's generation, spanning a variety of genres including essay film, live 16 mm film performance, hand drawn animation, a classic Disney cartoon and more. The event was part of a larger project that will culminate at the Barbican Centre in London early in 2018
