The concerts are presented in conjunction with Carl Craig: Party/After-Party, the artist’s immersive, visceral, sound, and somatic experience now on view at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA and each evening during the concerts. Drawing on Craig’s 30-year career as an internationally touring DJ, Party/After-Party guides visitors sonically through a club night from the perspective of the DJ. Starting in those moments before the crowd arrives and the DJ spins alone, before reaching its crescendo with the party’s pulsing apex, and finally slipping towards the melancholic embrace of the after-party, the work evokes the collective ecstasy and desolation found only on a club dance floor.
Party/After Party Sessions are presented with Insomniac and Secret Project, and are part of the Spring/Summer 2023 season of Wonmi’s WAREHOUSE Programs, bringing new commissions, music festivals, and residencies to The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA.
