The Creators Project Returns to New York
Vice & Intel
After spending the year traveling the world, VICE and Intel’s The Creators Project lands back in New York with a marquee lineup of live performances and original Studio works by groundbreaking artists, musicians, designers and filmmakers.
This year’s festival will take to the streets of DUMBO, Brooklyn, erecting 30-foot sculptures, showcasing works from over thirty leading international artists, and featuring dozens of live music performances. The event will also include the world premiere of Karen O’s psycho-opera, Stop The Virgens, along with film screenings and panels.
Karen O’s psycho-opera, Stop The Virgens will debut as part of the New York event. Produced by The Creators Project, Stop The Virgens is described as a psycho-opera that is an assault on the tragic joys of youth spun through a cycle of nine new songs. The psycho-opera, co-created by Karen O and renowned design director KK Barrett, is directed by Pulitzer Prize-finalist and New York theater stalwart Adam Rapp.
Original artworks include Life on Mars Revisited, an immersive short film of David Bowie’s classic space-rock anthem from legendary music photographer Mick Rock and filmmaker Barney Clay; ‘A Physical Manifestation of Ladies and Gentlemen, We Are Floating in Space,’ a cathedral-like physical manifestation of the song created by Spiritualized’s J. Spaceman and acclaimed film director Jonathan Glazer; and Origin, a striking thirty by thirty foot audiovisual installation by UVA and composer Scanner, which will be the largest responsive work ever created by the UK based artists.
