The Kitchen
512 W 19th St, New York, NY 10011
A large-scale and interdisciplinary project that explores the life, work, and resurgent influence of Julius Eastman, a gay, African-American composer and performer who was active internationally in the 1970s and ‘80s but who died homeless at the age of 49, leaving an incomplete but compelling collection of scores and recordings. 

This project brings more than four years of research by curators Tiona Nekkia McClodden and Dustin Hurt to The Kitchen, an early supporter of Eastman's work, with contributions from Katy Dammers, Tim Griffin, Matthew Lyons, and Christopher McIntyre.

“Julius Eastman: That Which Is Fundamental” includes a performance series and a two-part exhibition including both archival material and contemporary works
