Tonight, visit the ISCP for the opening reception of group show: On the Tectonics of History (scroll down) "exposing the historical traces of the Nazi era in the 1930s and 1940s. The show investigates the way in which imagery continues to shape our understanding of this regime, and reflects on how present day society deals with this time-period."
3rd Ward celebrates Pizza! The Movie with….you guessed it: a Pizza Party! Documentary, drinks, djs and of course, pizza.
Friday, (AND Saturday, actually) the latest Beauty Bar opens right here in the "crux of hipsterdom" on Broadway. (As Kevin wisely noted, a hop-skip from Market Hotel and conveniently located to the LES via the JMZ train). Click here for info & prepare yourselves — I imagine it will be a sceeeeene.
Travel all the way to Williamsburg to Monster Island Basement to catch some famous Bushwickers playing rock music AND support the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls (which is a such a wonderful thing). Todd P and Horse + Dragon present Wild Yaks and Lady Magma, along with Hexa and Beluga.
Saturday, Catch! 35 performance series is back at the Bushwick Starr featuring Bessie & Laurie, Sean Donovan, Karinne Keithley, Paul Lazar, Regina Rocke and Sara Smith.
English Kills presents the third and final installment and closing reception for Peter Dobill’s 3-part series, AB UNO.
Chez Bushwick‘s performance series Cake presents new choreography by Marie-Christine Giordano
Sunday, join Austin Thomas at Pocket Utopia for a Salon Discussion with Maggie Michael in conjunction with her solo show: "Emotional Infinity (Subtitling Houellebecq’s The Elementary Particles)." I had a chance to speak with the lovely and talented Ms. Michael last weekend and I highly recommend attending the talk. (It will be one of the few remaining Sunday Salons at our beloved Pocket U — go now while the getting’s good!).
Goodbye Blue Monday hosts a super fun-sounding BBQ — brought to you by "Team Mojito: people who believe in refreshing music and beverages and Bushwick. Together. At the same time." Grilling & mojitos from 3-8 and some local superstars on the bill to entertain: Asiko, The New York Howl, Marionettes of Satan, Alana Amram & the Rough Gems, Huggabroomstik, and Deep Sound Diver.
Tuesday, the new "June Special" yoga schedule begins at Starr Space. All three weekly classes are $6 (yes! all!). Check it out — it’s a wonderful class and space and I’m on a personal mission to keep yoga local, yo!
Wednesday, stay out late! It’s time for another installment of REALLY? A Queer Night in Bushwick at The Kingdom.
Everyone have a wonderful week & be sure to save your strength — next week is BOS!
