NEW YORK - AVAFSPLOSION


Oh man, if you missed the opening of the assume vivid astro focus exhibit at Deitch's new Long Island City gallery on Saturday then… I don't know… something.

It's still there (and by it we mean an old soda warehouse full—like seriously full, stuff in every nook and cranny full—of weird neon collages and dick-shaped neon lights and an enormous sculpture of a naked woman being crushed in half by a nearly full-size, day-glo house), but without the additional packed with balloons, amazingly dressed Brazilian trannies, numerous overlapping wall projections, and hallucinating people, it's just not quite the same. Sorry. Before you go off and kill yourself though, they're supposed to have a few more of such eye-parties throughout the summer which we'll try to remember to tell you about before they happen. In the meantime here are some pics.

These were Snapple bottles filled with different colored paint that they whipped at the wall in the back corner of the room.


Like such. Sploosh!


Here's the outside of the building.


They were handing these masks out at the door. They had that transparent material over the eyeholes that makes light refract all rainbow-y.

This is the ridiculous view from outside the building. It's like, literally right on the water. You could accidentally stumble right into the river if, say, you were on mushrooms.


Like this guy. Careful, man!


The guy in the briefs was supposed to be a caveman, that's why the dancer at top is holding a bone. Good times!
