Satellite Collective’s Tribeca Show 2024 will take place at Satellite Gallery, 101 Reade Street, Tribeca, NYC from May 9 – 21, 2024. The event will feature new prints, projections, film and photography from artists Kevin Draper and Lora Robertson. The show is open to all disciplines and will include two weekends of premieres and events. For more information, as well as ticketing and registration, please visit satellitecollective.org.
According to the team at Satellite, the collective is working in a new kind of venue for the upcoming show. By bringing the athletic performance and production values of their performing arts work into a gallery space, they aim to engage in longer conversations with the audience and more prominently feature the compelling visual artists driving Satellite’s collaborations.
The Tribeca Show is designed to foster intimate moments in a classic New York gallery space. In addition to new prints and projections from Kevin Draper, and new film and photography by Lora Robertson, the show will consist of two busy weekends of new music, dance, discussion, and visual art and film presented by Satellite Collective. It will include direct art experience with panels, performances, visual art, screenings, and a view into how creativity informs collaboration.
The event will also reveal the New York premiere of Sad Blimp Twins, a pair of forty-foot-long blimps coming to New York for the first time as Satellite’s official mascots. These aerostats are designed to fly from tall masts and act as cinema screens for public performances. They first flew on the lawn of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and will premiere in New York inside the gallery at 101 Reade Street. At full inflation, the blimps are fourteen feet in diameter and nearly forty feet long. Designed by Kevin Draper, they act as reminders of distant technologies of observation.
