RIP – DBA – THE FINAL GOOD-BYE
\nDEATH BY AUDIO – PUTS ON – DEATH BY ART DBA<\/a>
\nA FINAL GOOD-BYE ART SHOW . . TO THE LONG TIME DBA VENUE on SOUTH 2ND
\nA GROUP EXHIBIT – CURATED BY MARK KLEBACK and JOE AHEARN
\nNOV 6-22, 2014
\n49 SOUTH 2nd St, Williamsburg, BROOKLYN<\/p>\n

RIP DIY DBA \/ DEATH BY AUDIO, the free-wheeling, cutting edge venue – done in by . . VICE.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nEDAN WILBERT<\/p>\n

OLIVER ACKERMANN founded DEATH BY AUDIO in 2002, a small handmade effects pedal company – providing effect pedals for LIGHTNING BOLT, WILCO, NINE INCH NAILS & U2 . . .
\nby Spring 2007, the space was also being used as a venue for underground music and art, run by EDAN WILBERT and MATT CONBOY.
\nDEATH BY AUDIO\/wiki<\/a><\/p>\n

DBA UPDATE<\/strong>> – JUST IN FROM MARK KLEBACK<\/a>:
\n“the DBA GUITAR PEDAL COMPANY . . has a new space on HALL ST in the NAVY YARD.
\nMATT & OLLI are putting out new pedals for the holiday season and keeping busy … most everyone who lived at DBA went their separate ways, most of them moving in with significant others (!!) – I know MATT wants to open another venue down the road – we’ll see what happens.” <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJOE AHEARN co-curated the DBA show with MARK KLEBACK.
\nJOE is also well known as a curator for Clocktower at Pioneer Works in Red Hook. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJAY HEISELMANN<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJAY HEISELMANN, free-fall wall assemblage in the DBA communal kitchen, a bolt of red energy sweeping through the creative chaos.
\nit’s also called: thinking outside the box.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwhoosh – the DBA communal space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nscene of many parties no doubt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDBA FLAG by NICK CHATFIELD-TAYLOR<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nDBA living quarters – were up the stairs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nit was definite: high energy. free-form. no holds barred.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nit was like a giant maze – hallways leading every which way, in every direction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJAMIE DRAKE WALL MURAL- the DBA art show covered all the available space, esp in the hallways.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJAMIE DRAKE had several murals, all of which were very powerful.
\nyou can also see the ‘DBA VIRUS’ by SHMOAK coming in on the right – those small curious cubes, of gold. industrial meets expressive . . explosive.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJAMIE DRAKE also did this high octane wall mural in the communal area, note the kittens.
\nhigh voltage commutes with kittens, priceless.<\/p>\n

JAMIE DRAKE is an artist from Virginia and a friend of Oliver’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nJARED BOWDITCH – a strong wall mural, no doubt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nanother strange intense, highly patterned wall mural – painted in a most original grid \/ non-grid way – by SHADYYOUTH \/ @shadyyouth<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\ntalking … ‘industrial’, and . . . ‘light’.
\nBOTH.
\na narrative, real time, real world. photographic.
\nreally and truly . . photogenic.
\na magic, even romantic yet hard-core black & white graphic soundscape installation – by LOUISE FOO + MARTHA SKOU.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nin fact, the Big Apple – as seen from Williamsburg \/ Brooklyn – over & across the East River.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\ngoing really, gold-en<\/strong>, and . . ‘industrial’.
\nGRILLZ installation – by ROOPA VASUDEVAN \/ @rouxpz
\nat left: jay-z, “hard knock life” (ghetto anthem).
\nat right: rick ross, “hustlin'”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nROOPA VASUDEVAN, the notorious b.i.g.,”juicy”.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nROOPA VASUDEVAN, the total wall installation.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nROOPA VASUDEVAN, ‘rick ross, “hustlin'” graphic.
\nwhat I loved best were the graphics: great off-the-wall pastel colors, micro-print shadow ‘text’ designed to die for, and far-out in your face ‘object’ reality contouring.
\nbold. but not bold. almost cartoon, but NOT. almost hyper-real, but – not.
\nfascinating, gestural, yes.
\njust sitting right down straight on that cutting edge of . . fab. far-out conservative, very . . nervy. contradictory.
\nnice, very very nice.
\nthat’s what I call – great d-r-a-w-i-n-g.
\ndraftsmanship. whatever. graphic design. architecture. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nso we’re gonna give the last word on the DBA \/ DEATH BY ART – DBA \/ DEATH BY AUDIO art show . . . to a woman !!
\nhoo-ray, MAGGIE BURNSED.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nwall mural on a door – MAGGIE BURNSED.<\/p>\n

what I liked most about it – was how it just was. no big deal, no big statement, quiet but oh so pulsating, so expressive, so temporal, and . . SO WILD.
\nlike a hidden secret . . it spoke it spoke of life force, and creative energy. in the world, the ebb and flow all around us, cosmic and organic – we take a pen and make a mark, and a flower grows, a thought takes wings. as shimmery and complex as a butterfly, as a puff of (reproductive !!) pollen. the faint code . . behind the DNA.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nC-O-D-E.
\nP-O-L-L-E-N.
\nW-E-B.
\nINTERCONNECTEDNESS.
\nnote: there is a center, a purple passionate growing, squirmy hieroglyph – to this organic gossamer matrix.
\njust placed, as if by accident, by random gesture.
\na big thought just growing on a . . dirty communal door in a place doomed to die by Vice.
\nwhat more can you say ?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nhow about ?
\nB-I-O !!<\/strong>
\nthe mother of us all.
\nthe mother lode.
\nwhat the hell does that say ?
\nSTAY (??)
\nGREAT !!
\nDBA FOREVER.<\/p>\n
