The New Museum is pleased to present an additional performance of “Temporary Arrangement: Wynne Greenwood” on Friday, December 11 at 9 p.m.
“Temporary Arrangements” is a unique concert series that invites artists to form one-night-only bands and stage their premiere—and, by definition, also final—performances at the New Museum. Curated by Wynne Greenwood, the series emerges out of the DIY ethos of Greenwood’s legendary feminist band Tracy + the Plastics, an all-girl group that toured the country from 1999 to 2006, in which she played all three parts—frontwoman, drummer, and keyboardist. “Temporary Arrangements” proposes a collaborative model that is makeshift and provisional from the outset, asking what can happen when a group is formed without future expectations in mind.
As the final, culminating performance in the “Temporary Arrangement” series, Greenwood will play a solo set, singer-songwriter style. With hands, a keyboard, and a sampler, she will pull apart songs from fifteen years of music-making—from her work as Tracy Robo, Tracy + the Plastics, Libber, and Wynne Greenwood.
