Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder, In Orbit, Schematic Detail
Pierogi is pleased to present In Orbit, an installation and performance by Ward Shelley and Alex Schweder at The Boiler.
In Orbit is a 25-foot wheel made from wood, steel, and furniture. Two living units are arrayed over this hamster-wheel-like sculpture, one around the inside of the circumference and another on the outside.

This is a letter that we received today from Greenpoint Williamsburg Watchdogs:
If you can harken all the way back to Tuesday, and by Tuesday, we mean yesterday, you’ll remember reading that La Poisson Rouge hosted an event to rally for fair pay for radio play for musical artists.
Who knew that if you stopped by for $5 well drinks you might get a view of a David Byrne / Biz Markie moment?
Well, nobody knew, really, obviously, but Stereogum weighed in, was promptly schooled by David Haglun at Slate, who had just himself been schooled via tweet by Future of Music, and we read it all and no matter how confusing it got, we really only wished we had been there.

The proposed changes are causing several members in the community to become angered.
