Gorillaz Launching "House of Kong" Exhibition in NYC Before MSG Performance
Ahead of their Madison Square Garden show, Gorillaz will open "House of Kong" in NYC. Creative director Stephen Gallagher describes the audio-visual installation as a look back to inform the future.
After staging their “House of Kong” exhibition in Los Angeles earlier this year, Gorillaz have announced they’re bringing it to NYC and is open from 10 AM-10 PM daily. It runs from September 1-28 at the Agger Fish Building at Brooklyn Navy Yard — the same place where the excellent Radiohead exhibition is currently — and that’s just ahead of their show at Madison Square Garden on September 29 .
Tickets go on sale Tuesday, June 30 at 10 AM ET, with a presale for Kong Card holders starting Monday, June 29 at 10 AM ET. You can watch the trailer below.
Artist and creative director Stephen Gallagher, who developed “House of Kong” with his studio, SWEAR, says, “‘House of Kong’ is not a retrospective, it’s an audio-visual artwork; an installation that takes a glance backwards in order to identify the path ahead.”
“It’s an honour to have been part of the Gorillaz family over the last 8 years,” he adds. “The outpouring of music and art that I have found myself immersed in, has changed my life. I hope that some of that comes across in this show. This is no ordinary exhibition because in the world of Gorillaz, nothing is ever quite as it seems…”
Gorillaz’s North American tour begins on September 17 in Orlando, and you can see all dates below.
