On May 3, the MF Gallery (located at 213 Bond St. in Brooklyn) will be holding a free admission opening party for the Dave Brockie Memorial Art Show from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Brockie was a collaborator with MF Gallery over the years, so it makes a lot of sense they would be hosting the event! Music by Gwar, Death Piggy and DBX will be playing all night and there will be projections of various Gwar and Dave Brockie videos playing throughout the night. So what's the benefit? Well, the opening night will be a "cash and carry" sale where patrons can buy pieces of art dedicated to Brockie's life. The proceeds from the sale will partially go to the Dave Brockie Foundation, which we have covered before. There are quite a few artists' who have contributed to the event as well and have all been listed in a press release! Check it out!

What does the art look like, you say? Well some of it looks a little like this.
You can view all the pieces here as well! If you're planning on going, keep in mind the opening night is the only time where everyone can get in. Every day subsequent to the event for the entire month the gallery exists will be by appointment only. For said appointment, contact Martina Secondo Russo at (917) 446-8681 or [email protected].
