Poster House: Free Friday Night, Twenty Minutes of Kieser
Kieser's music posters, free on Friday nights until nine, a twenty minute stop a minute from the 23rd Street subway.
🎛️ Posters Built as Objects
Kieser came to the poster as a sculptor. Wire, plugs and terminals wrap a photographed face, cloth and paper get sewn into a musician's head, and the bills he drew for jazz and rock from the 1960s into the 1980s are where the method reads most plainly. Poster House asks for about twenty minutes, which is why this belongs at the start of a Friday, not the end.
Fridays are free and the doors run 10am to 9pm, last entry half an hour before closing. Thursday, Saturday and Sunday it is 10am to 6pm with $15 adult admission, and the museum closes Monday to Wednesday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It runs November 12, 2026 to April 11, 2027 at 119 W 23rd St, the F and M at 23rd and 6th Ave steps from the door, the 1 three minutes on foot.
Then stay out. Eataly nearby serves until 11pm, COTE until midnight, Boqueria Flatiron until 10pm, Raines Law Room until 2am and The Flatiron Room, a jazz lounge on 26th, until 1am.
