Experiment #23b (Brooklyn Museum)

Location | Brooklyn, NYC
Presented by | The BEAT Festival
Date | September 2013

The IPA was invited by the BEAT Festival to create an original performance experiment at the Brooklyn Museum.

 

The BEAT Festival featured a diverse mix of Brooklyn-based performing artists in neighborhoods all across Brooklyn, creating vibrant conversations and community around the festival events. 

 Experiment #23b (Brooklyn Museum) drew upon the IPA’s established community-based development process. The piece deconstructed the typical museum tour for 16 guests at a time, exploring exhibition spaces and areas usually off-limits to guests.

 

After a psychogeographic intake interview with the IPA, audience members were led on a personalized journey, ultimately arriving at a one-on-one performance at a predestined location or art work in the museum.

 

2013 BEAT artists included Yanira Castro, Ping Chong and Company, Odyssey Works, Third Rail Projects, and Storyboard P, among others.

"The joy of the experience was really to explore a museum that I thought I knew in a totally different way..."
