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.
