MONDAY FEBRUARY 18
Opening: “Kristina Lee & Annie Pearlman: The Broadway Boogie Woogie” at Malraux’s Place
Here is a cool thing to do today: the sharp new gallery Malraux’s Place has an opening for Lee and Pearlman, and though I am not acquainted with either it does sound like a good time. The press release on Lee: “her masked heroines rhythmically hack their way through the underbrush.” Pearlman: “she depicts the ‘practices which an urbanistic system was supposed to administer or suppress, but which have outlived its decay.’” I love those practices! Go! —Dan Duray

Talk: “do it”: Hans Ulrich Obrist and Massimiliano Gioni in conversation, moderated by Kate Fowle at the New Museum
Twenty years ago, Serpentine Gallery co-director Hans Urlich Obrist created “do it,” an ongoing exhibition consisting of artists’ instructions that are carried out on site. (The first three steps of Marina Abramovic’s poetic, if biologically draining, contribution dictate: “Mix Fresh Milk From the Breast / With Fresh Milk Of The Sperm / Drink on Earthquake Nights.”) Mr. Obrist will discuss the origins and iterations of the project with New Museum associate director Massimiliano Gioni in conjunction with the “1993: Experimental Jet Set, Trash and No Star” show. — Z.L.
