Baltimore-based musician and Wham City alum Dan Deacon brings his high-energy electro-pop show to the Hirshhorn’s last After Hours of the year. With a tabletop full of eclectic gizmos, a sine wave generator, a makeshift light board, and a green skull strobe light, Deacon mixes dance anthems, intricate instrumentals, and humorous monologues to create an all-out dance-til-you-drop experience. Spin magazine calls him a “one-man A/V club party” who makes “low-budget electronic pop that’s as bizarre as it is uproarious.” Performance begins at 9:00 pm.

The party continues from 10:15 until midnight with DJ Gavin Holland of the local dance party Nouveau Riche. |

And don’t miss the new project on the third floor, Directions: Terence Gower, Public Spirit, a research-based, multimedia art installation that explores a little-known chapter in the history of the Hirshhorn. At 8:30 pm, artist Terence Gower will give a gallery talk. |
