The Gallery was a disco in SoHo, Manhattan which was opened in February 1973 by disc jockey Nicky Siano and his older brother Joe Siano. The first location of The Gallery, located on 132 West 22nd Street, closed in July 1974. It reopened in November 1974 at 172 Mercer and Houston Streets and closed in October 1977. Famed DJs Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles both worked at the club, but not at the DJ booth. Grace Jones and Loleatta Holloway both made their debut performances at The Gallery.

Rie Nakajima & Akira Sakata: Live performance at Ikon Gallery
Rie Nakajima and Akira Sakata perform live at Ikon Gallery on 1 May as part of a series of collaborative performances to compliment Nakajima’s Ikon exhibition Cyclic, open 21 March — 3 June 2018.
Rie Nakajima is one of the most experimental artists working in the UK. Fusing sculpture and sound, her artistic practice is open to chance and the influence of others, raising important questions about the definition of art. Nakajima makes pieces often in direct response to architectural space, using a combination of kinetic devices, musical instruments and found objects. Ikon’s exhibition consists entirely of new work and includes a number of performances in collaboration with other artists.
Born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1976, Nakajima lives and works in London, and is very active especially in...

Ikon’s exhibition consists entirely of new work and includes a number of performances in collaboration with other artists.
Born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1976, Nakajima lives and works in London, and is very active especially in the area of sound art, often featuring in the programme for Cafe OTO, Dalston. Her performative collaborations take the form of experiments with small objects spread out on the floor, whereby she accumulates or subtracts sound by setting the objects in motion, picking them up and moving them around.
For Ikon, Nakajima has curated a series of free performances, also involving herself:
Pierre Berthet and Rie Nakajima, Dead Plants & Living Objects, Sunday 3 June
Cafe OTO at Ikon, Sunday 3 June, £5
For more information and to book visit https://www.ikon-gallery.org/whats-on/
The artist made a number of visits to Birmingham in preparation for her exhibition – short residencies at Ikon saw her gather found objects from the surrounding Brindleyplace estate whilst familiarising herself with the gallery architecture. She combined the objects, largely made from concrete and metal, to make new kinetic assemblages; vehicles for a sonic adventure with an unknown destination.
The exhibition is accompanied by a limited edition box, curated by Rie Nakajima. The edition includes contributions of writing, drawing and photography from participating artists: Pierre Berthet, Max Eastley, Akira Sakata, David Toop and Keiko Yamamoto.
The exhibition is supported by the Japan Foundation and The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation.

My building's full of little holes with heads in, staring at the street. They sometimes topple forwards, then stick at one another, passing freaks. They rarely speak and though I don't feed them--still they keep their double (their quadruple) chins. Their garbage bins are emptied each day. By night waiting with lights off, their cats out, their wives in-- they're PEEPING! They're peeping at the methylated man who spits in a can, spreads his hands for silver, pans for gutter gold. He mutters old forgotten songs his father taught him, rolls on the floor. He rolls in alcoves, gets caught in waterfalls down rotting walls. (He's bored.) My friends applaud, throw pennies and wait . . . peeping from the gallery.
