Concert on opening night: James Chance/Tuxedomoon (TBC)
In the early 1980s, the artistic and musical New York undergrounds were livelier than ever. An unreleased film documenting this era acquired a cult status. Key figures of the time appear in this cinematic UFO, including a 19-year old Jean-Michel Basquiat. An exhibition presenting related documents complements the screenings.
