collective futures nyc is set to explore how various visual artists and creatives involved in a pop-up exhibition express their day to day interaction with The City. Their connection to and interpretation of the place they now call home will be examined by virtue of their respective art form. The one night exhibition, taking place at G TECTS on 178 Delancey St., New York; will feature the works of talented and award winning locally based artists, working together to give life to a social experience where art, design and music will be at the core of a gathering that aims to be inclusive and devoid of any pretensions.
Visually, the event will be spearheaded with pieces by a diverse group of successful young artists living and working in New York. Akiha Yamakami´s mind-altering and abstract human bodies, Paul Windle´s curious and clever illustrations, Kike Besada´s forgotten paper collages, and Elliott Burford´s thought provoking objects and drawings will all be coming together in a unique space, alongside various limited edition prints and products sold exclusively at the event.
Musically, the event will be soundtracked by four diverse music selectors. Ramon Crespo, Fenbred, Dopeshoes, and Nick Van Tiel will all take turns to fill the space with sounds inspired by New York and ranging from experimental electronica to funk and soul.
From Disco to Post Punk, Be-bop to Hip-Hop; New York has been at the epicenter of many of the most important music movements ever. A New York City Inspired Mixtape touches up on some of those in a span of 80 minutes. Selected and mixed by colectivo futuro, the mix is a brief snapshot of how New York has aurally inspired us with sounds new and old; also it provides a rough guide to the music that you'll hear at our upcoming two day exhibition in The City. Physical copies will be made available to the first 50 guests that come through the doors, with a very special cover artwork designed by meta-matic and printed by Kallemeyn Press.
