SUMMER OF ROBOT
10 YEARS OF MUSIC, ART AND LOVE
MAY 30TH TO AUGUST 22ND 2015
We are pleased to announce that 2015 is the year that marks the 10-year anniversary of Secret Project Robot Art Experiment. We will be celebrating our, now officially, long term existence as a cultural incubator and artistic and musical think-tank in New York City with a series of exhibitions, events and parties that underscore the experimental, collaborative intimate and fun nature of our programming that visitors, members and artists of all sorts have come to expect.
The seeds of Secret Project Robot were planted in 1998 when a group of friends started throwing parties together in a 2nd story loft in Williamsburg called Mighty Robot... The concept was simple great bands provided by the twisted ones, John Fitzgerald aka Fitz and Artur Arbit with Visuals being supplied by mighty robot a/v squad Erik Z, Etain Fitzpatrick, Brock Monroe and the moral support of Doug Roussin.
In 2004 the concept of Mighty Robot evolved and we started to put together art installations and shows at a new home on Kent Ave with the moniker Secret Project Robot.
Finding ourselves for seven years along the Williamsburg waterfront in the Monster Island building we proudly hosted events that fostered a generation of artists from Chris Uphues, Cameron Michel, Eli Lehrhoff, Sto Len, Maya Hayuk and Raul De Nieves to White Magic, Black Dice, Barry London, Ex Models and the Yeah Yeah Yeah's. We had the honor of working with amazing promoters from New York Night Train's Jonathon Toubin and Vashti Windish to the Era of Witch house started by Todd Pendu and Pendu Disco.
When in 2011 we moved to Bushwick we were overwhelmed by the next generation of artists, party makers and musicians that continued to desire and find a home at Secret Project Robot. We are ever thankful to the queens of Bushwig, CHERYL, Butt Magazine, Bubbles, Fluct, J. Spaceman, Kid Millions and Brad Truax for letting us host Spiritualized, Quintron and Miss Pussycat, Greg Fox, 2 pretty, all the artists of Headshop, David Shull, Rob Coradetti, Christian Joy, Noodle Beaches for Meeting Witches, Prince Rama, Alexandra Drewchin, the Bohemian Grove crew and Dave Kadden plus so many more.
Throughout the last 10 years Secret Project Robot has survived the ever-evolving artistic-socio-economic landscape of New York City to emerge stronger and more supportive of our creative community than ever. The ten-year anniversary is a chance for us to look backward but also forward to creating the world that we want to live in-- together.
