THE STEPKIDSSaturday, January 25, 8pm

The Stepkids are keen on transporting you to some conflation of the 1970s and the 2070s. Pitchfork calls the band’s guitar gymnastics, synchronized dance

moves, vintage songwriting, and Zappa-esque freak-outs “a music nerd’s romp through high-fidelity magic.” The three-man crew combines jazz, rock, and soul in an unforgettable show of psychedelic, energy-wired music. Far out!

Hailed as a “cultural phenomenon” by Newsweek and celebrated by This American Life, Mortified is a comic excavation of teen angst artifacts. Journals,

letters, poems, lyrics, home movies, stories, and more are shared by their original authors before total strangers. This is a poignant, hilarious look at high school tribulations: personal redemption through public humiliation.

Exhibition

Opens Saturday, March 8

Darren Waterston’s installation Filthy Lucre reimagines James McNeill Whistler’s decorative masterpiece Harmony in Blue and Gold: The Peacock Room (1876–1877),

which is on permanent exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Freer Gallery of Art.Drawing parallels between the excesses of the Gilded Age and the economic conditions of today, Waterston presents the room as a sumptuous ruin (with

an atmospheric soundscape by the band BETTY), crumbling from the weight ofits own decadence, as well as its scandal-ridden history. Uncertain Beauty also

features a selection of Waterston’s luminous paintings on wood panel and canvas.

Photochemical film is quickly drifting into obsolescence as the motion picture industry transitions to digital media and fewer and fewer manufacturers and

labs produce and print film. Yet many visual artists who create work for gallery and museum settings remain among the devoted users of 16 mm and 35 mm

film formats. This exhibition features work by six artists who emphasizefilm’s unrivaled texture and luminosity, as well as its potential for metaphor.

IN TRANSITBETWEEN IMAGE AND OBJECT

Opens Saturday, January 25Artists Dike Blair, Hugh Scott-Douglas, and collaborative duo Guyton\Walker

paint, print, and project abstract images and patterns onto the surface of shipping crates. Incorporating storage and transportation containers into vivid multimedia installations, these artists explore parallels between the

physical movement of artworks and the seemingly limitless circulationof visual information across media and networks in the digital age.

Through August 2014The long-awaited survey of works by the Israeli-born, New York-based artist takes over the museum’s largest gallery. Grand, labyrinthine—yet also surprisingly intimate—the exhibition is rich with personal

narrative, political metaphor, and myth, highlighting the many formal innovations that Patkin has pioneered over his 30-year career.
