Join Art21 and the artists of Whoop Dee Doo for an exciting public program titled "Costumes, Creatures, and Conversation." This special event will take place at the brand new space of Art21 in Brooklyn. Immerse yourself in the world of Whoop Dee Doo, an internationally acclaimed artist collective known for their captivating installations and live performances.
Be prepared to embark on a journey through the imagination as you watch Art21's short film "Welcome to Whoop Dee Doo!" This film, released in 2015, delves into the creative process of the Whoop Dee Doo artists, showcasing their craftsmanship in costume-making and the construction of extraordinary installations using unconventional materials like newspaper, cardboard, and painter's plastic.
Costumes play a central role in the production of every Whoop Dee Doo event. From folklore characters to iconic figures from popular culture, their creations bring everyday objects to life. In light of this, audience members are encouraged to attend in costume, adding to the magic and vibrancy of the evening.
The program will begin at 7:30 p.m., with doors opening at 7:00 p.m. Admission is free, but advance registration is required. Art21 is committed to accessibility, and the venue has a wheelchair accessible entrance. However, it's important to note that there may be fog, strobe lights, moments in darkness or semi-darkness, speakers in the audience, and opportunities for audience participation throughout the event.
To ensure a fully inclusive experience, American Sign Language interpretation is available upon request with at least two weeks notice. For any questions or concerns regarding accessibility or if you require ASL interpretation or wheelchair access, please contact us at accessibility@art21.org.
