Top 5 Events for Snowy Bushwick

Top 5 Events for Snowy Bushwick

We have snow in Bushwick! Yay! But also hmmm because suddenly it feels like you want to stay inside where it’s warm, and nice. You want to bake cookies, catch up on movies and books or play with your lazy cat. But guys, brace yourself, and celebrate the fact that we live in Bushwick where creativity and good times grow on trees, indeed! Also this week there are a bunch of great events going on – but if you’re really lazy, at least do these 5 things because they are really awesome!

#1Art Hack Day @ 319 Scholes

Have you been to 319 Scholes? It’s an art space in an old warehouse, which focuses on technology in art, internet art, and art in technology. This weekend, they will have about 60 geeky artists over, who will be cracking open the process of art-making with special reverence toward open-source technologies. On Saturday, the space is open to the public.

Saturday 7-11:30pm, Free, RSVP

#2 Sublimated Violence & Visual Excess @ Microscope Gallery

Microscope Gallery on Charles Pl, behind Little Skips, has a great event series going on. Mostly on Mondays, they have screenings of art films, performances, etc. This Monday, they will feature a night of films and video titled Sublimated Violence & Visual Excess. Artists James Fotopolous and Laura Parnes will be present at the screening, which will provide a great opportunity to discuss their pieces after the screening. Furthermore, you can check out current exhibition of drawings by James Fotopolous on the gallery’s walls. The event costs $6, but the gallery pays the artists for the screening, so it’s well worth it.

Monday, 7-9pm, $6, RSVP

#3  Cage Transmitted @ Norte Maar

Bushwick’s non-profit for arts has a great project to join worldwide celebration of the centennial of John Cage. Norte Maar will present twelve evenings of performances of music, poetry, theater, visual art, and dance, occurring once each month. Most of the performances will take place in the front room of Norte Maar’s apartment gallery, and will be broadcast onto the street and live streamed on the web. The first night will feature a broadcast of John Cage delivering a lecture to students at Harpur College, Binghamton, NY on January 24, 1967. And if you are really lazy, you can just watch it live-streaming starting at 6:45pm at https://www.livestream.com/nortemaar.
