NYC Events: December 6-13

Hey there, lovers!
We’ve got just the cure for your winter doldrums, so before you succumb to the siren call of the couch, check out what’s coming up this week.

We’ve got a down-and-dirty dance party and an open studio by one of our Lowbrow artists, Gwynn Galitzer!

Lose Your Shit
Saturday, December 12th
Warehouse // 49 North 3rd St (Williamsburg)
$5 all night (Tell ‘em you’re on the Lowbrow Society list!)
10pm-Late!

w/ DJ Smallchange, Eli Escobar, Dub War DJs, and Dirty South Joe

It’s back and we need it — Lose Your Shit — the dance party that mashes up NYC nightlife.

Lose Your Shit (the lovechild of DJ Smallchange and MeanRed productions) is a loft party series for the music-obsessed.

The party was created to be a showcase of NYC’s finest DJs, and the goal was to feature a wide range of musical genres in the course of one night. Those who attend never know for sure if they’ll hear Dubstep, Baltimore Club, Glitch-Hop, R&B classics, Funk 45s or Electro-Disco anthems, but they are always guaranteed to lose their shit.

Eli Escobar
The DJ’s DJ. He’s talked about amongst the record bins like a god in the heavens, the disco heavens. Well known on the bottle service circuit by the glitterati but as his career surges ahead, this New Yorker is known for his supreme understanding of disco. Tonight he’ll play a set that most clubs will not allow, but at Lose Your Shit we beg for.

Dave Q & Incyde, Dub War DJs
Every month kids from states around New York City craving bass like a drug and darkness like a carnal need. They migrate towards the Dub War dancefloor and find themselves in the illuminating DJ lineups that make up Dub War. Tonight we’re making sure we have enough bass for them to feel at home.

Dirty South Joe
This DC native went from growing up and partying at the infamous 9:30 Club to DJing there. He’s a music afficionado that is known for working the scene of the Holler board with an unparallelled finesse. Don’t forget, that tastemaker haven started from a passion for music, ie depth (believe it or not), and the dancefloor. Tonight he plays whatever he wants and we’re hoping for techno to punk rock. We know he’s got knowledge, we’re looking forward to the DJ who resides in the city of brotherly love to bring his eclectic influences to the LYS stage.

SVA Senior Sculpture Open Studios
Monday, December 14
335 West 16 Street
FREE!
6-9PM

Gwynn Galitzer (studio 2-06)  (gwynngalitzer.carbonmade.com)
Gwynn, who is known for her interactive performances, invites you to step into her world and question the line between fantasy and reality, the past and the present, and the age old struggle between the balance of good and evil. Like all fairy-tales, looks can be deceiving – is a flower just a flower, does a rainbow really bring happiness or are they just disguises for something more sinister?

Lewis Allen (studio 0-17)
Lewis’s installation Hierophant uses fur, bone and feathers symbiotically with plastic replicas to emulate ritual and worship in the post industrial world. His signature large scale graphite drawings will be on view as well.

Kelly Macario (studio 2-11)
Kelly is known for her sewn mixed media installations about hair pulling and the childhood events which led to her obsessive compulsive behavior.

Soohee Koo (studio 2-04)
Soohee uses transparent materials to reveal the ‘truth’ of ourselves, while also looking at the relationship between plastics and mankind.

Stephanie Psarros (studio 2-13)
Stephanie works with found objects using aspects from them as a drawing tool, making alterations to emphasize the beauty in the ordinary and give new meaning to something once considered worthless.

Alex DeCosta (studio 2-10 and front entrance)
Ale uses childhood iconography to create a world entirely inhabited by squids, who have some adult tendencies.

Can’t wait to see you out!

Stay Lowbrow,
Lenora & Najy
