MoMA PS1 is kicking off its annual summer music series “Warm Up” on Friday, July 12.

The six-week-long event will feature DJ sets and live performances from 4-10 p.m. on Friday evenings in July and August. 

Located at 22-25 Jackson Ave. in Long Island City, the music program features a mashup of electronic music and experimental sounds. This year’s artist lineup includes Terrence Dixon, a Detriot techno music producer, Ash Lauryn, the Atlanta-based founder of Underground and Black, and SoFTT, a group of up-and-coming Miami-based trance musicians.

Other featured performers include Kode9, founder of the Hyperdub label, and UNIIQU3, a Jersey club DJ. Tickets are now available for all dates, as well as a season pass offering admission to all performances for $75.

Now in its 26th season, Warm Up 2024 takes place in the MoMA PS1 courtyard with a newly commissioned stage designed by artist Stewart Uoo.

Founded by curator Alanna Heiss, MoMA P.S.1- formerly known as P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center – is well known for its role in the alternative space movement in the 1970s.

In 1976, P.S.1 opened, featuring a Rooms exhibition, which hosted over 70 artists that transformed the building with site-specific installations. In addition to site-specific works, for 30 years P.S.1 ran a studio program that offered workspaces to artists worldwide.

Although the program ended in 2004, artists continue to use the space for studios, meetings and rehearsals. MoMA PS1 has long-standing partnerships with organizations such as The Fortune Society and The Studio Museum in Harlem, with plans to pool resources to support a wider range of artists.

Op-ed: The link between belonging and achievement 

Mar. 24, 2025 By Christopher Herman

No one can argue that it feels good to belong and we’ve all had that unpleasant experience of being the outsider. In recent years, research into the impact of belonging on achievement has drawn clear links between how included we feel and our academic performance.
