The evening (from 6-8) at the one-time home of the Pyramid Club includes a reading by local playwright-performance artist Edgar Oliver.
Here's more about the opening via the EVG inbox...
"Deep Dive" is a site-specific constructed environment of sculptural objects and process paintings by Alex Wolkowicz. This is the first time Baker Falls has invited an artist to create an installation. The Pyramid Club has been iconic in New York City nightlife since its opening in 1979 and at the forefront of the downtown performance, drag, punk, gay and rock scene."Deep Dive" honors the opening of Baker Falls and commemorates the Pyramid Club as a cultural touchstone for artists, performers, outsiders and drag queens. While under construction, Wolkowicz treated the space as an archaeological excavation site by collecting textures of the architectural details of the interior space using wet pouring techniques and graphite frottage rubbings.The "Deep Dive" exhibition is in conjunction with the production of a new play, "Rip Tide" at Axis Theater, by legendary downtown artist Edgar Oliver, about his formative years at The Pyramid Club. Oliver will perform original works at the opening reception ...
The event also marks the official opening of the Baker Falls cafe in the downstairs "Fever Dream room."
"Deep Dive" will run until Jan. 9. You can RSVP for a free ticket here.

I love art. So blessed to have such fabulous artists at our fingertips.
Great venue and cafe. Anyone distressed about the lack of flavor in today's East Village should support this place.
You say one can RSVP for a free ticket (to Deep Dive at Baker Falls) here, But there is no link. Got one to post? I hope so.

The word "here" should be linked to the site...
Edgar Oliver is a treasure, fantastic story teller and should not be missed - what an treat for Bakers Falls to get to present a reading with him tonight!
Was so excited to get to know him a bit. Would live to bring the one man show to our stage at Baker Falls
