EAI Invites: Mendi + Keith Obadike
Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) 535 West 22nd Street, 5th Floor New York, NY 10011

January 10th, 2019 7:00 PM

Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is pleased to launch a new public program series, inviting guests to present works of their choosing from the EAI collection. This series is intended to open the archive to new insights, engaging the catalogue from a fresh perspective. EAI Invites will provide a catalyst to consider familiar work from an unexpected angle, or to call attention to artists or works that have a particular significance to the guest. For our first event, Mendi + Keith Obadike will present a selection of "artist-made 'music videos,'" including works by Kit Fitzgerald and John Sanborn, Philip Mallory Jones (Wassa), Bill Viola (Playing Soul Music to My Freckles) and Tony Cokes (5%), among others, followed by an informal conversation with the audience.

Tickets: $7 general, $5 student, free for EAI members
