NYAB Event - Tod Seelie "Slowdancing To Slayer"

Tod Seelie "Slowdancing To Slayer"

Cinders Gallery

This event has ended.

This show brings together different aspects of Tod's diverse body of work that features stunning landscapes, enigmatic portraits and rousing events from his extensive travels that have taken him to 15 different countries, gotten him kidnapped in Brazil, and most recently a seat on a veggie-oil converted tour bus for the "Fuck Yeah" Fest.

For the past decade, Tod Seelie has been one of our favorite photographers, prolifically documenting his travels as well as the art, music, and DIY counterculture that has swelled up around him in Brooklyn and simultaneously erupted in various places all over the country. It's through this lens that we get to experience Tod's unquenchable wanderlust for adventure that takes him to exciting and sometimes dangerous places deep in the bowels of outsider America. Abandoned buildings, train yards, lonely landscapes, and burned out cars are captured in their decrepit beauty while tall bike jousting, DIY punk shows, Mississippi art-raft journeys and dance parties in Harlem tap into the energy of the youth who are producing their own culture under the radar of the mainstream.
