A stage, a floor, a speaker, a band; they are the near-universal trappings of live music. Mix a little NYC avant-garde art in there, however, and you've got some new twists and turns. Quite literally, in the case of "You Are Here", a mixed-media installation at the 44th Street Chashama Gallery featuring a maze-like sculpture and a mess of experimental rock bands.

Visitors to the May 6-27 run of "You Are Here" will travel through a maze assembled by Trouble and the B-keepers (aka Zs saxophonist Sam Hillmer and artist Laura Paris), in which they'll happen upon musicians doing their thing. The maze'll be up nearly all of May, which, of course, means a plethora of musical acts will wind their way through during the performance's run.

Noise-makers such as Dirty Projectors mastermind Dave Longstreth (May 14), Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities (May 19), Ohsees (May 13), Ecstatic Sunshine (May 6), Zs (May 27), Ben Bromley of Fischerspooner (May 10), J. Graf of Metalux (May 26), John Dwyer of Coachwhips/Pink and Brown (May 12), John Fell Ryan of Excepter (May 6), and Excepter offshoot Lake (May 27) will be among those soundtracking the labyrinth.

A bunch of other bands/DJs/multimedia artists inhabit the dead ends all May long. Drop by on the days mentioned above, or, for perhaps even more fun, amble through the maze entertainment unbeknown.
