Location: Foley Square (34th Street and 7th Avenue)

In the vein of Flashmob and the group who froze scattered though out Grand Central a few months back, Mobile Clubbing is encouraging you to come out and dance. As busy midtown traffic scurries by, you can dance it up like nobody's business. Anyone and everyone is encouraged to join. You will need to bring your own ipod if you want music to dance to. Also, have no fear they got a permit so you won't get kick out and you wont go to jail!

Ryan McGinley: I Know Where the Summer Goes

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Date: Thursday, April 3rd
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Team Gallery (83 Grand St. Bet. Wooster & Greene)
Cost: Free

In the summer of 2007 photographer Ryan McGinley traversed the United States with sixteen models and three assistants, shooting 4,000 rolls of film. From the resulting 150,000 photographs, he arduously narrowed down the body of work to some fifty images, the best of which are on display this months at Team Gallery. McGinley had chosen a very specific itinerary that would bring his troop through the incredible range of landscapes that are available across the US and carefully planned a battery of activities, sometimes orchestrating the use of special effects. The very artificial constructedness of the project allows for situations in which the models can both perform and be caught off guard.

FreeNYC Event Flyer

Time: 9:30pm
Location: Rubin Museum of Art (150 West 17th Street btw 6th and 7th Ave)
Cost: Free with a $7 drink minimum

"The Superman myth is well told, from his birth on the doomed planet Krypton to his childhood in a small Kansas town in Richard Donner's blockbuster. Young Clark Kent, as his Earth parents have named him, learns the truth of his alien birth on a voyage of discovery to the Arctic. It is there that he learn—through a link to his long-dead birth parents—of his superhuman abilities and his responsibility to preserve and protect 'truth, justice, and the American Way.' Once he adjusts to life in the big city, Metropolis, he discovers that hiding his superpowers as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve) isn't easy as he flirts with hard-nosed Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and battles supervillain Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman)." Tonight the film is shown at The Rubin Museum of Art as part of the Gree Tara series. It is free admission but there is a $7 drink minimum.
