Inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat's eclectic musical interests, DJ INKASSO from Frankfurt (SUPLEX) plays a mix of New York oldschool, disco, 80s and hiphop.
As part of the exhibition, the New York underground club scene of the 1970s and 1980s is celebrating a revival: every Thursday evening from 7pm, 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!
