PopRally invites you to 60 Seconds of Fame, an interactive event inspired by the exhibition Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures. After an exclusive viewing of the exhibition, guests can record their own "screen test," directed by artist Conrad Ventur, to be projected on the walls of MoMA's Marron Atrium and uploaded to the PopRally and Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures website. WFMU DJ Evan "Funk" Davies will provide the soundtrack for the evening.

Andy Warhol: Motion Pictures focuses on Warhol's cinematic portraits and non-narrative silent, black-and-white films from the mid-1960s. Warhol's screen tests reveal his lifelong fascination with the cult of celebrity, comprising a visual almanac of the 1960s downtown avant-garde scene.

Conrad Ventur was recently included in Greater New York 2010 at MoMA PS1. He creates immersive environments that draw on the power of celebrity, collective memory, and nostalgia, using archival footage of cultural icons downloaded primarily from Internet sources like YouTube. In a recent ongoing series, Ventur restaged ten of Warhol's screen tests using their original subjects.

Admission includes a cocktail reception and a ticket to record one screen test.
