Chiptune music at the Tank Saturday 8/26 at 10PM
Pulsewave is a monthly event at downtown space The Tank, showcasing “low-bit, video game influenced musicians and video artists” and “people getting down to the sounds of some rockstar jamming away on nintendos, gameboys, and ataris.”
The performers will be:
- Anamanaguchi – Releasing their debut album Power Supply through 8bitpeoples. Powerpop meets NES, Weezer meets Triforce, Ratatat meets Dr. Wily.
- The Depreciation Guild – The Guild steps out of hibernation to rock you into a trance with their astral chiptune melodies. However, at the same time they’ll wake you up with some pumping and crushing drum-heavy anthems.
- Nullsleep – The King of 8bit (and quite possibly the universe) is at it again. Watch as he wields the GameBoy as if the d-pad was used to make the entire crowd dance simultaneously.
- Voltage Controlled makes the show with his jarring and colorful broken NES visuals.
Saturday, August 26 @ 10pm sharp – $6
The Tank, 279 Church Street, between Franklin and WhiteIf you schedule yourself well, you can start that evening in the East Village for the Smitten show at Giant Robot and then head downtown for The Tank.

“Manic and Wasted” at LMCC
Pedro Velez and Maria Saldana / Kunstfascion
Go see it tomorrow! It’s open until 5!
We checked out this great show today. I only have time for a quick post, but I wanted to recommend it in case anyone’s looking for some new art to see tomorrow in Manhattan. I’m uploading some more photos to Flickr.
James has more info, and the show’s website has videos from the opening night performances.

James Nicholson closing, replaced by 2 German galleries
I just received email that James Nicholson Gallery has closed. I’m glad I saw their last group show.
That’s the bad news. The good news is that their space is being taken over by two interesting galleries out of Frankfurt, Galerie Adler and Galerie Poller. I can’t wait to see shows from those two here in Chelsea.

Ryan Humphrey at White Box
(Play this with a 1 second pause for the best effect.)
This performance/installation, curated by Daria Brit Shapiro, is part of White Box’s summer Six Feet Under series. The exhibitions are meant to be seen through the window from the street after the opening, and features six curators choosing six artists over six weeks.
Ryan was blasting metal, e.g., Iron Maiden, for this two hour performance. Here is a quote from the press release:
For his play on the theme of Six Feet Under, Ryan Humphrey will use White Box as an indoor freestyle BMX facility where he will regress to his creative years before becoming a fine artist. He will assault the architecture with his bicycle, try new maneuvers, mark up the walls and leave skid marks on the floors thus signaling the demise of the clean white gallery space and the economic system that fuels it. Bring on the death of capital. Bring on Mad Max. Bring on the demise of western civilization and say goodbye to your precious art objects.
I should note that Ryan shows with my friends at DCKT Contemporary.
Updated: James has a post on Ryan too.

What single work of art would you most like to destroy?
John Currin, but I wouldnÂ’t make the effort.·
