Starting to feel that twinge of sorrow? That slight chill in the air? The realization that another summer is about to bite the dust and lead us back to school and fall black and browns, away from the hot days and long nights and our beloved summer Fridays at work. Rather than dwell on this pessimistic train of thought, let go of any dreary thoughts of the summer romance you didn’t have or the book that you didn’t get around to reading. Accept the amazing fact that YOU LIVE IN NEW YORK and, hey, change is inevitable and, thank God, so is the art scene! This week there are a couple of major art events in and outside of Bushwick that will let you sit back, relax, and enjoy these final, glorious days of summer!
1. If You Trust Us @ Apostrophe (FRI 7PM)
….Well, do you?? Take the dare and come check out the performance venue cum art gallery space this Friday. This is the perfect event combining music, art, and even someone’s birthday! Not only will you get to check out the DIY apartment gallery space, but stay for the dance party that is guaranteed to follow.
2. Norte Maar Presents: Edisa Weeks/Delirious Dances @ Socrates Sculpture Park (SAT 3PM)
Don’t miss the second installation of Norte Maar’s curated dance series at Socrate Sculpture Park this Saturday. Choreographer Edisa Weeks work focuses on fusing dynamic and physically demanding dance in a way to evoke the complex nuances of life. A self-described storyteller, Weeks wishes to engage a dialogue between dancers and audience in order to touch something deep and universal; something that is inherently human and universal.
