SEPT. 16–OCT. 28: FISCHERSPOONER'S EXCELLENT WORKSHOP
Sep 15, 2004 12:00 PM, The Editors
Art/pop duo Fischerspooner and Deitch Projects announce the public opening of Excellent Workshop, a series of evening Salons held at the FS studio space at 110 N. First Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, every Thursday from 7–11 p.m.
FS will also host a special late-night edition of the Salon series on Oct. 13 to coincide with the CMJ Music Marathon. The Salon reveals the work that will form the basis of inspiration for Fischerspooner's pending new album and will preview new tracks for the first time.
This Salon project was created to encourage participation and experimentation in the creative process that surrounds Fischerspooner and has been a breeding ground of ideas and references for their new bodies of work in music and art. By drawing a shifting and expanding group of people to the space every week, the Excellent Workshop project aims to explore ideas of art in community and the development of creative partnerships across all artistic media.
Each gathering has showcased the work of a range of artists involved in Fischerspooner's creative world and has spanned dance, performance, music, photography, painting and installation. Much of this new work has remained in the space, accumulating as the season progresses and currently includes inspirations for music from their upcoming second album and the aesthetic informing the art direction of the new record.
Fischerspooner began as a two-person, low-fi electro-pop performance at a Starbucks coffee shop in downtown NYC. In the years that have followed, Warren Fischer and Casey Spooner have expanded the project into an international pop-culture phenomenon incorporating the various talents of dancers; singers; filmmakers; and fashion, lighting and set designers.
Capitol Records will release Fischerspooner's second album in early 2005.
