Mission Statement

The Push Pops are a radical, transnational queer feminist art collective. Geared toward engendering ‘Embodied Feminism,’ Go! Push Pops employs the female body – that which is bound to a cross-cultural language of desire, signification and power – in tactical, ideological strategy. Go! Push Pops utilize gesture, exclamation and popular idiom to embody a new age discursive physicality interfacing with the ancient archetypal realm. Neo-Dada, Fluxist and Feminist, their performance work posits the body as a danger to the operation of reason and patriarchal economy of lack. A wild leap, an elusive slogan, a paroxysm of the flesh – The Push Pops reinscribe the body through participatory ritual, spontaneous performance and interactive multi-media installation.

Ghoulishly Good Art Shows in BUSHWICK DAILY


Nu Age Hustle is a group show featuring 9 artists working in video, fabric, installation and performance. Drawing equally from elements of “New Age” and Pop culture (hip hop, fashion, and e-commerce) these artists explore ritual, earth and sky awareness, embodiment and commodification at the increasingly blurred boundary of the spiritual and the secular. Many adopting their own body as a site of resistance and agent of performative praxis, Nu Age Hustle is a show highlighting artists as global citizens and consciousness shifters. Speaking truth to power in their own unique idioms, these works pinpoint and shift social loci toward interdymanic and cosmic heights. John Miller Chernoff, a scholar of African aesthetics of social action, has broadly defined culture as “overtly musical,” in nature. For Chernoff culture is “a dynamic style or organization through ‘various mediators,’” and for these artist scavengers of it, it is ever the bright, fungible horizon. As border crossers and at times, futuristic agents of cultural upheaval, the artists of Nu Age Hustle recalibrate distinctive elements mediating contemporary daily living in ways radically experiential and spiritually raw.
