Discover the never-before-published stories behind the provocative Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF in this exclusive New York City public program featuring co-founders Lukas Bentel and Kevin Wiesner in dialogue with New Museum artistic director Massimiliano Gioni. 

Ranging from a line of designer handbags only visible under a microscope to an anime dating game that helps players generate a functional tax return, MSCHF’s works are incisive, often viral, and always instilled with their unique brand of subversive humor. In celebration of the new book Made by MSCHF (Phaidon, available March 6) this exclusive conversation explores the inner workings of the collective. Whether the Big Red Boot, Jesus Shoes, ATM Leaderboard, or Severed Spots, discover MSCHF’s creative journey through stories and images from their archives and how their works are developed from ideation to release. 

Audience Q&A and book signing to follow.
