The Hole and UTA Artist Space are pleased to announce Meet Me In The Bathroom: The Art Show, presented by Vans. On view at The Hole in New York from September 4-22, 2019, the exhibition is a visual counterpart to Meet Me In the Bathroom, Lizzy Goodman’s best-selling book that delves into the rock-and-roll revival that emerged from New York City in the 2000s.
If the goal of the book, Meet Me in the Bathroom, was to transport the reader to the last era of dirty, druggy, maniacally joyful New York City, the goal of Meet Me in the Bathroom: The Art Show is to color in the sensory reality of that place. What did it feel like to be in the birthplace of the American dream as the sun set on the 20th century?
Through memorabilia, polaroids, and over 70 artworks made by the musicians whose work defined this era, the visual artists who were inspired by those sounds, and the artists whose legacy influenced both—plus performances by the bands themselves—the exhibition generates a portal to the past that also serves as a prologue to the present.
The exhibition includes new and archival works by Rita Ackermann, Doug Aitken, Urs Fischer, Dan Colen, Nate Lowman, Rob Pruitt, and more. They are featured alongside artworks by musicians including Fischerspooner, Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes, and Karen O and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Musicians have contributed noteworthy objects from the time, including Karen O’s battered microphones, Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio’s guitar, and a suitcase emblazoned with band stickers belonging to Lizzi Bougatsos.
There will be special guest performances and programming throughout the exhibition’s run. Furthermore, a limited edition series of art prints will be available to purchase online and at The Hole in collaboration with Absolut Art, including works by André Saraiva, Adam Green of The Moldy Peaches, and Fischerspooner.
The exhibition is kindly supported by Vans, Captain Morgan, Lyft, Absolut Art, and AMP Events.
Artists Include:
Rita Ackermann, Tunde Adebimpe, Doug Aitken, Paul Banks, Hisham Akira Bharoocha, Lizzi Bougatsos, Brian Chase, Brian Chippendale, Dan Colen, Bjorn Copeland, Eric Copeland, Roman Coppola, Donald Cumming, Patrick Daughters, Brian DeGraw, Todd DiCiurcio, Urs Fischer, Fischerspooner, Nikolai Fraiture, Pierre Fraiture, Jonah Freeman, Warren Fu, Michel Gondry, Adam Green, Jenna Gribbon, Julian Gross, Luke Jenner, Spike Jonze, Christian Joy, Richard Kern, Dennis Klaas Hoekstra, Colin Lane, Justin Lowe, Nate Lowman, Kunle F. Martins, Adam McEwen, Ryan McGinley, Fabrizio Moretti, Alison Mosshart, Karen O, Rob Pruitt, André Saraiva, Nanci Sarrouf, Aurel Schmidt, David Sitek, Cody Smyth, Spencer Sweeney, Dash Snow, Pieter M. van Hattem, Ruvan Wijesooriya, Nick Zinner
ABOUT LIZZY GOODMAN’S MEET ME IN THE BATHROOM
Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock and Roll in New York City 2001-2011 charts the transformation of the New York music scene in the first decade of the 2000s, the bands behind it—including The Strokes, The Yeah Yeah Yeahs, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, and Vampire Weekend—and the cultural forces that shaped it, from the Internet to a booming real estate market that forced artists out of the Lower East Side to Williamsburg. Drawing on 200 original interviews with James Murphy, Julian Casablancas, Karen O, Ezra Koenig, and many other musicians, artists, journalists, bloggers, photographers, managers, music executives, groupies, models, movie stars, and DJs who lived through this explosive time, journalist Lizzy Goodman offers a fascinating portrait of a time and a place that gave birth to a new era in modern rock-and-roll.
