You’ve made your requisite offerings to the sun gods and it finally stopped raining. So what are you going to do this weekend? We suggest you grab a unicycle/scooter/piggyback and head to any number of excellent art events that are happening all over town.
While it’s not outdoors, start the weekend off right with AMP, a music and performance series presented by Amanda Simms Hunt and Rashaad Newsome at Rush Arts Gallery. This one-night-only performance starts at 7pm on Friday and engages all sorts of experimental noise-making techniques, from comb-playing by Kenya Robinson to a piece by Moritz Wettstein that mixes in calls he receives on his cell phone in real time into the electronic music he’ll be making on site.
X-Initiative’s No Soul for Sale extends through the 29th and is on view 1–9pm daily; check our recent post for details. Don’t forget to lounge around on the roof.
Socrates Sculpture Park is hosting a three-day open-air marketplace, Makers Market, which features fine arts and crafts. Check here for dates and times.
And last but certainly not least, let’s not forget our friends over at Creative Time, who have worked so hard to bring us “This World & Nearer Ones,” a massive outdoor exhibit on Governors Island by more than a dozen young talents.—T.J. Carlin
