WHAT: PopRally is a new program of events at The Museum of Modern
Art and P.S.1 Contemporary Arts Center created for young New
Yorkers. Launched in April, PopRally features musical acts,
performances, film screenings, receptions, and special viewings of
exhibitions.

This second PopRally event offers cocktails and a private viewing
of the exhibition Douglas Gordon: Timeline. The evening’s musical
performance is by Chicks On Speed, in collaboration with artist
Douglas Gordon and other surprise guests, in The Abby Aldrich
Rockefeller Sculpture Garden. Chicks On Speed will perform their
new single "Art Rules."

The first PopRally presented the world premieres of Marcel Dzama’s
films The Lotus Eaters (2006) and Sad Ghost (2006), with live
musical accompaniment.

Douglas Gordon: Timeline
Artist Douglas Gordon (Scottish, b. 1966) addresses the
familiarity and popularity of moving pictures by manipulating,
reframing, and superimposing them to alter viewers’ perceptions.
This retrospective of Gordon's work presents 13 significant works
by the artist, including 24 Hour Psycho (1993), Between Darkness
and Light (After William Blake) (1997), Play Dead; Real Time
(2003), and the new work M: FUTILE FEAR (2006). The exhibition is
on view through September 4, 2006.

Chicks On Speed
Formed in 1997, the members met at the Academy of Fine Arts,
Munich. The group consists of Alex Murray Leslie, Melissa Logan,
and Kiki Moorse, who started the group as an art project that has
gradually merged into the medium of music to create unique
performances.
