Life World Reopens in Bushwick as a Haven for Unconventional Art
Life World, a venue for unconventional art, has reopened in Bushwick after relocating from Gowanus. Founded in 2021 by a group of comedians, artists, and theatre enthusiasts, the space now continues its mission in a new location. A recent opening-night party marked its return, drawing a crowd of performers and creatives. The original Life World launched above a canning factory in Gowanus, where the team rented the space for roughly £2,000 a month. Its founders aimed to showcase work deemed too risky or unprofitable for mainstream venues. After closing its first home, the project found new life in Bushwick, thanks in part to filmmaker James Belfer’s investment.
At the relaunch party, comedian Caroline Yost announced the venue’s return to cheers from the audience. The event featured performances, including looped beats by artist-musician hybrid Lumberob. Guests like Eugene Hutz, Jonathan Daniel Brown, and Alex Tatarsky attended, adding to the celebratory atmosphere.
This weekend, Life World will host an indie zine fair on Saturday. Later, on July 3, the venue plans a hot-dog-eating contest where contestants will be judged on creativity rather than speed. Before that, musician Richard Perez will debut new material at the space on Friday. The Bushwick location keeps Life World’s focus on experimental and non-commercial art. With a mix of performances, fairs, and quirky contests, the venue is already drawing attention. Its return offers a dedicated space for artists whose work struggles to find a home elsewhere.
