December 2005
Osama Bin Rockin was originally create for an air guitar contest as part of the Performa 2005 Biennial Empty Space program at Artist Space in New York. Christain Rattemeyer was the curator- (though now he is the Associate Curator, in the Department of Drawing at MOMA).
More about Empty Space: From November 16 through December 21, 2005, Artists Space presented Empty Space, an exhibition that transformed the gallery into a stage for daily action, performances, and concerts. For the duration of the show, Artists Space's main gallery will be kept empty and will come to life each evening with an extensive series of live performances, lectures, and events. On Wednesday nights, different artists' bands will perform. Meanwhile, the project Spaces will feature individual projects that connect to the topic of performance, either in form, subject matter, or elective affinity.
