Warm Up 2010 At MoMA PS1 Releases Schedule

12:06 p.m. · June 28, 2010 · by Daniel Kolitz

For years now, the line between "indie rock" and "high art" has beengetting blurrier. An early harbinger of this trend has been the MoMA-curated Warm-Up series, which today announced its 2010 line-up. The intimidatingly hip series, now in its thirteenth year, features a variety of carefully curated DJ sets performed in the courtyard of Long Island City's PS1. This year's line-up, put together by some of the world's hippest executives (higher-ups at True Panther, XL, and DFA, amongst others) will feature "various live/DJ sets" (whatever that means) from a bunch of untouchably awesome motherfuckers--includingAnimal Collective, ?uestlove, and more. The accumulated cool alone should do wonders for offsetting that oppressive mid-summer heat.
