MoMA PopRally presents Id, a party performance and multimedia installation by design concept Hood by Air (HBA). This event marks the first time that HBA and their collaborators have premiered a live, multidisciplinary work outside of the context of fashion presentations. A performance masquerading as a party, Id is an interactive, semi-virtual experience that includes a theater, a live stream, and a "humannequin" installation. Performers include Boychild, Mykki Blanco, and surprise guests.
Doors open at 8:00 p.m.
Founded in 2006 by creative director Shayne Oliver, Hood by Air is the convergence of an ensemble of artists that works in fashion, experimental music, image making, nightlife, and performance. The brand is grounded in radical interrogations of the body as a site for limitless renegotiations of identity and meaning, imagining new possibilities for subjectivity liberated from strictures of the normal. Relying on strategies such as appropriation and sampling, Hood by Air's work subverts traditional divisions between original and copy, human and machine, and art and commerce.
