Showcasing Newly Commissioned Work by New York-Based Emerging Artists, Including The Illustrious Blacks, Salsa Masala, MIPSTERZ, and Many Others
The first opportunity to experience outdoor programming in the plaza at The Shed, New York City’s new arts center, configured when the moveable “shell” is nested over the base building. Beginning Friday, August 9, a free series of commissioned music, dance, and performance works by 14 artists and collectives will debut as part of Open Call, The Shed’s commissioning and programming initiative dedicated to developing and presenting new works from New York-based emerging artists across all disciplines.
Highlights include performances by:
-The Illustrious Blacks, presenting an electro-punk-funk opera about the union of two cosmic spirits (Friday, August 9 at 7:30 pm);
-Salsa Masala, an Indo-Latin fusion band honoring the cultural collisions that exist in Jackson Heights, Queens (Saturday, August 10 at 8 pm); and
-MIPSTERZ, a multidisciplinary event reimagining Muslim narratives (Saturday, August 17 at 8 pm).

ABOUT: OPEN CALL
Open Call is The Shed’s large-scale commissioning program dedicated to developing and presenting new works from artists based in New York City who have not yet received major institutional support. Panels of leaders in a wide range of disciplines—from the visual arts to digital media to theater and dance—reviewed more than 900 proposals for Open Call. They selected 52 emerging artists and collectives to receive support, space, and resources to develop their trailblazing projects at The Shed. A group exhibition of work by Open Call artists is also on view at The Shed through August 25, 2019.
