PUSH THE BUTTON Enhance your experience of the exhibition and understanding of Warhol’s work with a visit to the AAM Warhol Factory: a one-of-a-kind interactive space
Andy Warhol’s New York Factory is a place of legend. Like a factory, Warhol set up an assembly line to produce his iconic silkscreen prints and many of his films, including the celluloid portraits he referred to as ‘Screen Tests’. But, beyond being his workplace, it was an infamous hangout—the location for glam- orous parties and somewhere for creative types to gather: A place where famous musicians, artists and writers rubbed shoulders with Warhol and his superstars. We invite you to join us at our very own AAM Warhol Factory! A space where all visitors are welcome to relax, meet friends and further explore ideas from the exhibition through interactive displays, art activities, books, films and classes. Discover the lesser-known aspects of Warhol’s history through our visual timeline and engaging infor- mation about his career as a freelance, commercial designer, and the early blotter techniques he used to create distinctive advertisements. Answer ques- tions like: What was it about the silk- screening process that Warhol found so compelling? Why a Campbell’s Soup can? What roles did fashion, identity and music play in the Factory? Or, just settle onto our Factory-inspired red couch, and enjoy the books in our dedi- cated Warhol library. Throughout the run of the show, take part in exhibition tours lead by museum staff. Get hands-on and creative with special workshops, taking your own Polaroid portraits with vintage cam- eras or learning how to make your own screen-printed artwork with a profes- sional printmaker. Or we invite you to follow in Warhol’s footsteps and create your very own time capsule, to be placed in the wall of the museum.
