ABOUT THE PROGRAM
PANEL 3: NIGHTCLUBBING AND QUEER UTOPIA
5:00PM TO 6:00PM
Nightclubbing and Queer Utopia is a conversation between Gage Spex, Dosha (House of LaDosha), Jacolby Satterwhite, and Raúl De Nieves about performance in nightlife. Specifically in relation to the underground art and club spaces The Spectrum and The Dreamhouse (2011 to 2019), each has a unique relationship to performance within their work and all were a part of these spaces.
BY TAVIA NYONG’O, CURATOR OF PUBLIC PROGRAMMING
When I visited the former millinery factory in East London that is the home of Young Space today, I felt welcomed to a world at once familiar and exciting. Taking a tour of the communal kitchen, meeting some of the creatives, having a chat in the library, I understood at once how artists like Sampha, Kamasi Washington, and Saya Gray could find a collective groove here in one of the studios tucked away underground. Speaking with the author and DJ madison moore, who was just back from playing a set at Glastonbury festival, we compared notes. We both felt we wanted to make space in New York City for the great vibe of “conversation, communication, and community,” as Young Space label founder Caius Pawson names it. Earlier, Pawson and I had talked about the need to connect with nightlife in New York City, and to tell the story of how house, techno, and disco all have deeply Black and Brown queer roots in this city’s boroughs, even as they have gone international. moore, author of Fabulous: The Rise of the Beautiful Eccentric (2020), had spent half a decade in the black Atlantic dance and dance music in London before returning to teach in Modern Culture & Media at Brown University in Rhode Island. We spoke about a vision for a public program during Young’s Armory residency that would connect music, dance, and nightlife worldmaking. Having curated nightlife events at a wide range of venues nationally, including at the Kitchen here in New York, and as an in-demand
AT PARK AVENUE ARMORY
DJ, I knew moore was the right person with whom to partner. I also knew I wanted to reach out to Gage Spex, of the legendary queer arts night Spectrum, and they put together a conversation with key participants in that scene, whose influence continues to ripple throughout the city. Ariel Osterweis and I have been talking about dance and the body for over a decade, and her recent book Body Impossible: Desmond Richardson and the Politics of Virtuosity draws from her lifetime of moving through the studios and clubs of New York City, Los Angeles, and beyond. Then music and performance icon Kevin Aviance—to whom Beyoncé recently tipped her hat during the Renaissance tour—signed on to be in conversation with moore, together with New York scene legend Xander. I knew we had the makings of a unique event. And a timely one. As moore tells me, there is “an urgency and emergency in Black queer nightlife. As venues close or are otherwise difficult to access, space is a premium.” Day for Night: The Art of Nightlife is not a solution to that problem, but it is a celebration of the past, present, and future of the scene makers and sonic alchemists who put their body and soul into the scene. And if you can stick around after the salon for the after-party rave, you may just witness one of Xander’s devastating looks.

ABOUT PARK AVENUE ARMORY
Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory supports unconventional works in the performing and visual arts that cannot be fully realized in a traditional proscenium theater, concert hall, or white wall gallery. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall—reminiscent of 19th-century European train stations—and an array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory provides a platform for artists to push the boundaries of their practice, collaborate across disciplines, and create new work in dialogue with the historic building. Across its grand and intimate spaces, the Armory enables a diverse range of artists to create, students to explore, and audiences to experience epic, adventurous, relevant work that cannot be done elsewhere in New York.
The Armory both commissions and presents performances and installations in the grand Drill Hall and offers more intimate programming through its acclaimed Recital Series, which showcases musical talent from across the globe within the salon setting of the Board of Officers Room; its Artists Studio series curated by Jason Moran in the restored Veterans Room; Making Space at the Armory, a public programming series that brings together a discipline-spanning group of artists and cultural thoughtleaders around the important issues of our time; and the Malkin Lecture
