The Velvet Underground Experience Exhibition To Open In New York

New York City will be the next stop on the first global exhibition to be dedicated to The Velvet Underground.

The Velvet Underground exhibition opened in Paris in April 2016.

“The first thing I noticed when I visited the Paris Velvet Underground Experience Exhibit was the number of different locations that The Exploding Plastic Inevitable had visited and the faithfulness of the detail that is contained in the show. The expansive mixed media elements highlight the great variety of responses to the EPI events wherever they appeared This was not only about the VelvetUnderground. Whatever was created in the Factory did not stay in the Factory. What ANDY had started at the Cinemateque by projecting film on to the Velvet Underground became exponentially more complex as the elements found new focus with each City Town or venue,” said John Cale.

“These historical visits are contained in their raw energy in the current rooms of the Exhibit. They show the progress in personal expression not only in the disciplines of music, art and film, but the political servitude of the day. The pride and fear in our excitement made these expressions of urban continuity something we would never forget.”

The exhibition features interactive content around six themes, Welcome to America, Reed and Cale, The Childhood of Art, NY Spirit, Factory Years, Banana Album, Reinventions of The Velvet Underground and Echoes of Heritage.

It follows the journey of The Velvet Underground from their origins in New York and association with Andy Warhol.

The Velvet Underground Experience will be accompanied by a diverse curated event series which will include concerts, screenings, talks, pop up installations, fashion collaborations and more. The exhibition will be open daily EXCEPT Monday from 12:00pm – 7:00pm, and on Thursdays will be open until 10:00pm. Tickets for the public will go on sale on FRIDAY AUGUST 17 at 10:00amETand can be purchased through http://www.velvetundergroundexperience.com and ticket prices will be as follows:
