OFF THE GRID: FEATURING DAN SELZER + DAVID ELLIS’ RECOLLECT EXHIBIT

This Thursday at le poissonrouge, come drag a toe and rage against the dancing wasteland at OFF THE GRID, a once-a-month event which focuses on dance music that you won’t hear on a typical Friday or Saturday night.  It will focus on a collage of Mutant Disco, Punk Funk, No Wave, Early Electro and rare B-Sides.

Special guest DJ Dan Selzer of the infamous post punk label, Acute Records  will share the decks with the Resident NY DJs Chris Alker and Monica Sharp . Need a break from the beats, check out David Ellis‘ exhibit, RECOLLECT, which will be on display through Feburary 12th 2010.

David Ellis continues his practice of record collecting as a process for making sculpture. Ellis presents three new wall sculptures in his ongoing “Recollection” series. The works will be constructed with more than 1,000 record sleeves systematically arranged by color and theme. The result is a resin-encased block of recorded history that seemingly levitates. His motion painting “Paint on Trucks in a World in Need of Love” was recently exhibited at MoMA.
