BLACK MUSIC & ART
2017
MATTE PROJECTS PRODUCTION
Adrien Giraux - CREATIVE DIRECTION
On April 8, MATTE took over Grand Prospect Hall in Brooklyn to host our
annual BLACK NYC event. Tale Of Us headlined the event with following sets from
Max Cooper, Midland, Tommy Genesis, Trim, Valentin Stip and Asmara.
We sought to create an event for sensation seekers. We enlisted immersive art
installations from Kyle McDonald, Jonas Jongejan, Paolo Montiel and Bart Hess to
decorate the maze of rooms at Prospect Hall. The atmosphere was
multidimensional, alluding to alternate spaces and times. In one room, guests
witnessed a starry night made from dozens of stacked disco balls reflecting
prisms of light while in the other theyʼd see a clouds-scape projected overhead.
