Sunday Sessions at MoMA PS1 presents Underground Reisistance, the Detroit-based musical collective known for its politically-motivated techno, to launch an artist residency program featuring ALLGOLD. The Artist Collective will set up shop in The Print Shop, a separate space within the museum block. In close proximity to the institution, yet, independent from its programming, the collective will create a social space to foster communities in which new ideas and thoughts can manifest and find an audience.

Run by artists for other artists the residency will function as an event space, artist studio, gallery and community center. The diverse backgrounds of the participants which, encompass visual art, design, and music, aim to bring together a variety of creative practices. 

The program ranges from scheduled events such as screenings, talks, performances, concerts and dance nights to more long-term projects that invite other artists and MoMA PS1 audiences to spend time and participate in the residency. The artists of ALLGOLD are: Kevin Beasley, Inva Çota, Golnaz Esmaili and Stephen Decker. Information.
