You might remember the good old days of the Samsung Galaxy Studio popup turned retail store that recently closed - read my post here and see all the related events and happenings that have occurred in the space.

As we mourn the lost of one of our favorite spots in SoHo, get excited for the recently opened Samsung 837, the flagship located in the Meatpacking District.

There are a lot of exciting interactives including a virtual reality tunnel, "Social Galaxy" installation by Black Egg, a cool pic collage, performances and events!

You will leave with a great experience, lots of instagramables! 
It definitely does not feel like just a store.

Come and check it out at:


Samsung 837
837 Washington Street
New York, NY

Hours:
Monday – Friday 11am – 9pm
Saturday 10am – 10pm
Sunday 10am – 8pm

What’s the story?
We’re Samsung 837, and we’re open for everything. For art, for music, for sport—and for the magic that happens when culture and technology come together under the same roof.
Our most innovative devices are only part of the story. We’re here to show off the experiences they unlock, and the people and places they connect us to.

What's Inside
Doing things differently is our thing, which is why we’re not calling ourselves a “store” or a “showroom.”

The Highlights
Walk in. Look up. Our larger-than-life screen (like, three stories larger-than-life) is surrounded by stadium seating—and it’s where we’ll host screenings, demo products and live-stream cultural events.


Events 
From album launch parties to runners’ clubs to meet-and-greets. Check back often for details on upcoming and recent events.

Workshops
We will break down our connected devices in non-boring ways, with workshops that feel less like school and more like a bunch of people hanging out.

Service
We have a support station full of experts that will help you get the most out of your Samsung devices, whether your screen is cracked, you are setting up a new phone, or are looking for one on one instruction on cool new features.

MORE INFO, IMAGES AND VIDEOS HERE.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT:

Location: Chinese Galleries (206–218), Egyptian Galleries (132), and the Anna Wintour Costume Center (980–981)

This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.

From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.

The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

REPOST: 6/24 - Seinfeld Popup - Stop by "Seinfeld: The Apartment"!

Stop by Jerry's Place

Hulu to re-create Seinfeld home ahead of launch

By John Ambrosio
Special to AMNY

It's like Festivus come early:  Hulu announced Thursday it will re-create Jerry Seinfeld's Upper West Side apartment in anticipation of streaming the beloved "show about nothing."

The mock (and still unrealistically spacious) bachelor pad will be located at 451 West 14th Street in the Meatpacking District -- far from the sitcom's storied location.

It will feature the couch, the kitchen, and a "Seinfeld" gallery with props, scripts and rare memorabilia.

Real fans can even barge in Kramer-style, or re-create George Costanza's Valentine's Day photo shoot, Hulu senior vice president and head of marketing Jenny Wall said in a statement.

"Seinfeld" is one of those rare shows that continues to influence pop culture to this day," Wall said in the statement, "so what better way to launch its streaming debut than to celebrate the fans and give them a chance to relive the scenes from some of the most iconic moments in TV history."

The free installation, "Seinfeld: The Apartment," will open for four days starting June 24, or the same day the series starts streaming on Hulu, and will remain open to the public every day from 10AM to 7PM.  But for those too eager to wait a week to stream their favorite episodes, Hulu will count down the seven best Seinfeld episodes for Hulu Plus subscribers starting June 17.

Have fun,
Terresa =)
