Brazil's artistic mega-force Assume Vivid Astro Focus (Eli Sudbrack on his passport) invades the Deitch Long Island City space this evening for an all out explosion of sculpture, installation, performance, and disco dancing. Deitch openings are always a blast and this one is exception... "Passing the colorfully muraled exterior of the building, guests enter from the riverside entrance beside a neon atom bomb explosion into the main installation. This large gallery space will be filled with collaborative sculpture, murals, and rugged found materials inspired by the construction sites found throughout the city and especially from Williamsburg into Long Island City. Tonight's opening also features performance troupes and DJ sets from Justin Miller (DFA) and Jacques Renault (Runaway). There's even a "shuttle bus running between the gallery and the E and V subway stop at Ely and 23rd" for those too lazy to walk. Get out there early and catch an LIC sunrise. All Ages.

The Super Thing art exhibition and music event is dedicated to the zealous, jerky synth-powered, midwestern heroes of DEVO and showcases art which shares their bold aesthetics, politics and humor. DEVO has already inspired legions with their politics, new wave getup of nuclear hazmat suits, retro-futuristic plastic pomps, and ziggurat-shaped energy dome "flower pot" hats and you can expect the same from their art."
