FIFA World Cup 2026 Drone Show
For the FIFA World Cup 2026, a drone show flew over New York Harbor from Liberty State Park, the Manhattan skyline behind it. Across four nights in June and July 2026, a fleet of drones resolved into the tournament’s marks above the water — a Statue of Liberty rendered in light, the 26 emblem, and The Final — each formation mirrored in the harbor below. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
Between Life and Non-Life
teamLab’s Between Life and Non-Life was the flagship experience of Superblue Miami’s inaugural exhibition, Every Wall is a Door. Five integrated works — digitally constructed waterfalls, fields of flowers, and massless clouds — shift with the people moving through them, so no two visits ever render the same. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team; open since May 2021 and seen by hundreds of thousands.
Fragile Future
Superblue — Pace Gallery’s experiential art division — and The Shed presented Fragile Future, Studio DRIFT’s first New York solo exhibition, on view 29 September to 19 December 2021. Kinetic sculpture, film and light works ran through the galleries, and on select nights Drifters sent concrete monoliths levitating through the four-story McCourt to a score composed by ANOHNI. FISHKO delivered production, event planning and artistic development for Superblue.
Franchise Freedom
On Saturday, October 21, 2023, DRIFT’s artwork Franchise Freedom flew above the Lake in Central Park — the first time a thousand drones had taken flight over the park. The flock, driven by an algorithm built on ten years of research into starling flight, performed three times that evening for tens of thousands of people along the lakeshore and Bethesda Terrace. Co-produced by the FISHKO team with DRIFT, Drone Stories, Therme Group and Nova Sky Stories.
Manar Abu Dhabi
Studio Drift’s three commissions for Manar Abu Dhabi opened on Al Jubail Island in November 2025. Whispers set 469 illuminated stems into a bowl of sand fifty meters across; Unfold projected blooms across a tented dune; Wind of Change flew 2,000 drones above the mangroves nightly. FISHKO produced and managed all three for the Department of Culture and Tourism – Abu Dhabi. Free to the public, the exhibition ran to 4 January 2026.
AGGRO DR1FT
Harmony Korine’s AGGRO DR1FT premiered at the Venice Film Festival — a feature shot entirely through an infrared lens, following a Miami Beach hitman in pursuit of his next target. The US debut ran during Art Basel Miami Beach in collaboration with Boiler Room; a Los Angeles edition followed, and the tour is ongoing. EDGLRD, his multimedia design collective, engaged the FISHKO team to produce and deliver the immersive viewing experience.
Making Their Mark
The Shah Garg Collection went on public view for the first time at 548 West 22nd Street in November 2023. Curated by Cecilia Alemani, Making Their Mark filled two floors with 96 works by more than 80 women artists spanning eight decades. Admission was free and the exhibition ran through March 2024. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team — build-out, vendor coordination, staffing, and daily front-of-house operations.
Cascade
Cascade is the experiential universe of artist Jen Stark, blurring her physical and digital practice into a single interactive environment. The inaugural edition opened at Brooklyn’s The William Vale in September 2021 — 6,000 square feet of interactive projections, 3D-mapped environments, paintings and sculpture. Working closely with the artist, the FISHKO team produced and managed the exhibition and developed its retail offering and digital-asset strategy with Foundation and Phillips.
Momentum
Franchise partnered with the NBA on Momentum, a traveling, multi-format exhibition exploring the relationship between basketball culture and the arts. It paired ephemera from the NBA archives with expansive video installations — among them Tunnel Vision, curated by James Harden — and a group show of contemporary artworks. The show launched during Art Basel Miami Beach and toured to Chicago’s Navy Pier for NBA All-Star Weekend. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
Beyond The Streets
Beyond The Streets is a global, art-driven cultural and educational movement focused on graffiti and street art. Its Brooklyn edition, Beyond The Streets Brooklyn, took over two floors of 25 Kent in Williamsburg for a three-month run in 2019 and showed work by more than 150 international artists, among them Takashi Murakami, Futura and Shepard Fairey. The FISHKO team produced it, leading exhibit planning, construction and installation.
Secret Soirée
In celebration of Art Basel Miami Beach, Superblue, Therme Art and the neurotechnology company MindMaze presented Secret Soirée with Alicia Keys. Over a single evening, the 15-time Grammy winner led 600 invited guests through a guided meditation among Studio DRIFT’s mechanical flowers, then played a 75-minute set inside teamLab’s Universe of Water Particles, Transcending Boundaries. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team at Superblue Miami.
What a Wonderful World
The Julia Stoschek Foundation’s first major US presentation reopened the Variety Arts Theater, dark since the 1990s, as a six-floor cinema. FISHKO produced the build — 45 time-based works by Abramović, Jafa, Wolfson, Tillmans and Okoyomon threaded through ballrooms, dressing rooms and the basement, plus bar, box office and front-of-house. What a Wonderful World: An Audiovisual Poem, edited by Udo Kittelmann, ran February 6 – March 20, 2026.
Culture of Bathe-ing
Culture of Bathe-ing, Therme Group’s bathing platform, staged its first event on Domino Park’s waterfront field: a village of seventeen saunas and cold plunges, open to the public from February 12 to March 1, 2026. At its center stood Attercop, a 70-person wood-fired social sauna by Rintala Eggertsson Architects. FISHKO Inc. produced the festival for Therme — business model and ticketing through site design, construction, permitting, staffing and daily execution.
Private Event
A private host took a Brooklyn studio complex for a single night. FISHKO carried it end to end — ideation and design through planning, financial management and onsite operations. Eight bespoke environments, from a grass-floored garden reception to an immersive karaoke lounge, opened in sequence and closed behind the guests as the evening moved. Six live acts followed, two of them Grammy-winning headliners. Loaded in over three days; struck in two.
Son of a Pharaoh
Joopiter is Pharrell Williams’ online auction and content platform for rare cultural artifacts and the stories behind them. For Son of a Pharaoh, its inaugural sale, Williams curated more than fifty objects from his personal archive — jewelry, watches and limited-edition sneakers — each with a detailed provenance. A SoHo loft became the presale exhibition and launch event, lit in royal purple with custom displays built for every lot. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
From Me, To You
Joopiter is Pharrell Williams' auction platform for rare cultural artifacts and the stories behind them. For From Me, To You, its sixth sale, the designer NIGO — founder of A Bathing Ape — consigned sixty lots from his personal archive: vintage Levi's, diamond jewelry, Louis Vuitton trunks and BAPE. A gallery on White Street became the presale exhibition, where eighty percent of lots sold above their high estimate. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
Meet Me in the Bathroom
Meet Me in the Bathroom: The Art Show was the visual counterpart to Lizzy Goodman’s oral history of New York rock, 2001–2011. Presented by Vans at The Hole with UTA Artist Space, it gathered over 70 works by the musicians and artists who defined the era — Karen O, Dash Snow, Ryan McGinley, Urs Fischer — alongside memorabilia and a full-scale recreation of a graffitied downtown bathroom. Co-produced by the FISHKO team with Goodman and The Hole.
Silent Fall
Superblue — Pace Gallery’s experiential art division — made its European debut at the Royal Academy’s Burlington Gardens with Silent Fall, a site-specific work by A.A. Murakami, the duo behind Studio Swine. Mechanical trees stood in a mirrored grove, releasing scented, mist-filled bubbles that visitors caught in gloved hands; each one gave up foliage, bark or pine as it broke. Demand extended the run by three months. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
The Unwell Tour
Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper took the podcast on the road as The Unwell Tour — seven live shows in six cities across twelve days, opening at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston and closing at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium. Each night ran as a live episode with surprise guests, on a projection-mapped set built for the tour. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team for Alex Cooper.
The Photography Experience
Desert Trip brought Dylan, McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, The Who and Roger Waters to the Empire Polo Club over two weekends in October 2016. Inside the festival grounds, a purpose-built tent held the Desert Trip Photography Experience — over 200 vintage rock photographs drawn from a dozen photographers’ archives and Getty Images. Produced in partnership with Goldenvoice; FISHKO team members helped plan, build, install and operate the exhibit.
Hello Kitty Friends Around the World
Sanrio marked Hello Kitty’s 45th anniversary with Hello Kitty Friends Around the World, a ticketed walk-through attraction that opened in Los Angeles and toured to Seattle. Across 10,000 square feet, five themed rooms — London, Paris, New York, Honolulu, Tokyo — were stamped into a commemorative passport on a timed 45-minute route ending in retail. FISHKO team members worked with Sanrio’s designers to realize the scenic and multimedia exhibits, and produced and managed both runs.
John Wayne: The Genuine Article
Created with the Wayne family, John Wayne: The Genuine Article turned the photographic biography of the same name into six rooms at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, November 2017 to January 2018. Each took a different part of Wayne’s life and career, setting letters, telegrams and handwritten notes against hundreds of film props — hats, boots and costumes — with video, interactive components and custom audio throughout. Produced and managed by the FISHKO team.
Art on Paper
Art on Paper was built around a single medium — drawing, printmaking, collage, and large-scale paper installation — one of the few themed fairs in New York’s Art Week. It debuted in 2014, and its five-day run at Pier 36 on the Lower East Side reached 100 international galleries and more than 30,000 visitors a year over eight editions. Conceived and produced by the FISHKO team at Art Market Productions.
Seattle Art Fair
Founded in 2015 by the late Paul G. Allen, the Seattle Art Fair became a destination for modern and contemporary art and a showcase for the arts community of the Pacific Northwest. Art Market Productions, co-founded by Max Fishko, was fundamental to its inception and development, converting WaMu Theater’s arena floor into a full gallery district each August. Conceived, produced and managed by the FISHKO team across its first five editions.
Market Art Fairs
Art Market Productions built a franchise of art fairs in regional markets outside New York: Market Art + Design in the Hamptons, Art Market San Francisco at Fort Mason, Texas Contemporary in Houston, and editions in Miami. Each ran five days and was built, operated and struck on site — in a convention hall, a waterfront pavilion or a purpose-built tent. Co-founded by Max Fishko and produced by the FISHKO team across fifty editions.
