An evening full of surprises around Jean-Michel Basquiat as multifaceted as his life - designed by Byron Deloatch, consisting of DJ sets, performance and live music.
In the context of the exhibition, the New York underground club scene of the 1970s and 1980s celebrates a revival: Every Thursday evening from 7 pm, the Crown Club opens its doors at the Schirn. Talks, parties, film screenings, and concerts will take place in a partly stylish and newly interpreted club atmosphere of the legendary Mudd Club. The original Mudd Club was a place where the creative scene of Lower Manhattan met, including Jean-Michel Basquiat, musicians and bands like Madonna, Lou Reed, DNA or the Talking Heads, designers and performers like Betsey Johnson and Klaus Nomi or young independent filmmakers like Glenn O'Brien. What Basquiat needed for his artistic works, he took from his environment. He sampled what surrounded him and what he surrounded himself with. The Crown Club creates a space where the contemporary scene can meet and be inspired
Start your evening with the public tour of the exhibition at 7PM and then experience the program at the Crown Club!
