For its final show in its current space Museum 52 New York will be giving away the space in 24 hour slots to a series of artists. The artists have been given full reign except the time limit: 10 am – 10am the next day. The results, time based and temporal, will reflect a sense of immediacy, expansion and creativity inherent in time-based work.

The show will be underlined by a City Harvest Food Drive, which will take place during the event days (11- 6pm). All non-perishable donations are welcome and encouraged. We must reach a total of 50lbs of food.

Museum 52, London will continue to exist at its current location, 52 Redchurch Street, London. Museum 52 New York will have a roaming, project-based presence between now and the summer before finding a new space later in the year.

WEEK TWO: 24th – 27th MARCH

TUESDAY, MARCH 24TH 7PM SCREENING CHERYL DONEGAN – STOP ME IF YOU THINK YOU’VE HEARD THIS ONE BEFORE (21 mins. Based on Andy Warhol’s film, ‘Nude Restraint’, 1967). “I am fascinated with Viva’s monologue in this film. I think I talk too much, especially when I am nervous. The art world makes me nervous. I’m not an actress and I wasn’t sure what to say so Viva’s monologue seemed perfect. Warhol said her voice was the most mesmerizing and grating he had ever heard. So I cast myself as Viva, and my 9-year-old son as Taylor Mead. It’s just Mom in the kitchen, serving up a hot dish of cool leftovers.”

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 25TH 11AM – 8PM MICHAEL MAHALCHICK MAKES A MOVIE Artist Michael Mahalchick invites everyone to help him make a movie in the gallery over the course of the day. Participants are encouraged to bring props and costumes and will interact with each other. The narrative will unfold with each new visitor.

THURSDAY, MARCH 26TH 11AM – 6PM JACOB ROBICHAUX – INVITATIONAL PERFORMANCES During his solo show at Museum 52 in 2008 Jacob, whose interest in performance is shaped by his childhood experiences as an amateur magician, invited friends and artists to perform with one of the four floor-based sculptures in the show. Participants randomly selected a sculpture with which they were to perform. Jacob invited others to explore his materials and objects with the same compulsive drive to continually generate meaning through activity and play. His invitational at Museum 52 will follow similar lines of activity.
