Six weeks ago we attended the opening of the MoMA's Color Chart exhibit. Lots of colors, trippy lights, DJ sets by a bunch of DFA headhunters and free booze. A damn good time indeed. The other day the PopRally kids posted some fresh video of the event, along with mp3's of each and every one of the DJ sets that evening. Definitely sure to get the party started. Grab 'em will they're fresh.

Saturday night at the MoMA was the opening of Color Chart: Reinventing Color, 1950 to Today, a Crayola color installation that featured works from Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Frank Stella, to name a few. Personally, Hirst's John John stole the show for me, but besides the art, there was a lot more to take in. Free booze and hot DJ sets by the DFA crew, to be exact. Holy Ghost and Juan Maclean brought the heat, although, personally I can't remember too much of the heat they brought. The exception being a dancefloor destroying drop of DFA labelmates Hercules & Love Affair's "Blind". After that everything is a wash of kaleidoscopic colors and terrifyingly tight jeans. Wish I could tell you more, hopefully these pictures do a better job of setting the scene than I did.

Oh yeah, Les Savy Fav's Tim Harrington was there too, so you know it was sweet.
