Join us for a family workshop offered in conjunction with the exhibition “Jim Shaw: The End is Here,” the artist’s first New York survey exhibition, on view from October 7, 2015 to January 10, 2016. Navigating Shaw’s Labyrinth: I Dreamt I was Taller than Jonathan Borofsky (2009), a large, immersive installation of sculptures and painted theatrical backdrops located on the Fourth Floor, families will have the opportunity to play a museum-scaled game of I Spy. After writing about the objects and characters they have identified in the artwork, families will draw their own images and use them as collage elements to create a collaborative, remixed version of Shaw’s installation.
New Museum First Saturdays for Families are free of charge. This program is designed and recommended for families with children aged between four and twelve years, and includes free New Museum admission for up to two adults per family. Children under eighteen are always admitted free. No preregistration is required. Space is limited, and tickets are given out on a first-come, first-served basis. Your entire party must be present; tickets will not be given to partial parties.
