Continual Partial Awareness: Premiere of a New Performance by Cory Arcangel According to the artist: "This performance is going to be about 'Continuous Partial Awareness's phrase that was first described to me as meaning 'you know, like, when you have three IM windows open, two e-mail in boxes dinging away, are texting five different people, and also have five tabs open on your browser, each with updated content.' It is about paying attention to everything all the time, but not really concentrating on anything. It is different from multitasking, because with multitasking, one actually is expected to concentrate on tasks at some point, even if in small doses. 'Continuous Partial Awareness' is the eroded degenerate modern version of multitasking." Friday, November 14, 2008 | 8:30 PM Buy tickets now: $6 Members, $8 General Public

Get Weird: Lichens and Sahra Motalebi Making beautifully haunting, terrifyingly soulful music, Lichens is Rob Lowe (ex-90 Day Men and occasional TV on the Radio collaborator) singing out in wordless vocal loops. Sahra Motalebi's grand, light-footed songs draw equally upon the sacred elevations of Middle Eastern and African music and the drama and persistence of visionary pop music like Kate Bush and Roxy Music.
