A new extension of the fair’s decade-long Cultural Partners Program, the inaugural Armory Spotlight honors The Kitchen, one of New York City’s oldest nonprofit spaces that presents a robust, multidisciplinary program of art and performance.

Live! From The Kitchen Archives 3D Virtual Exhibition Tour

The Kitchen turns its archive outward to present a selection of live performance recordings made between 1976 and 1986. The recordings were originally released in the “From The Kitchen Archives” album series created in partnership with American composer and pianist Philip Glass’s label Orange Mountain Music between 2004 and 2015. In a presentation titled Live! From The Kitchen Archives, a digital jukebox features a selection of tracks by artists such as George Lewis, Meredith Monk, Pauline Oliveros, Sonic Youth, Steve Reich, and David Tudor that spans styles and movements, from experimental music known as “New Music” to jazz, No Wave, and rock. These recordings are layered into an installation of related print ephemera, creating opportunities to discover connections between The Kitchen’s music programming in the 1970s and ’80s and the other disciplines and eras represented in the institution’s rich archive.
