It's all in the numbers. Starting tonight, for the sixth (and final) in the series, six curators will select six artists to create installations exploring six different galleries and the effects Chelsea real estate has had on them - asking if art and its market can live hand in hand. This will take place at White Box's six-feet-under exhibition space. More details here.

EVENT: Tonight at Website 101, learn the basics of setting up your own website: how to register a domain name, how to find and set up web hosting, basics of html...how to register a domain? Seriously?
6 to 9pm // Monkey Town [58 N 3rd St bet. Kent & Wythe] // Free
THEATER: Repertorio Español mostly does plays, but it has good reason for a change of pace: Eladio Cintron's ...Gardel, el Musical, a bio of 1920s Argentinean tango phenom and film star Carlos Gardel, whose life ended tragically young. The company's website notes that Gardel inspired a cultish following that continues today; it's probably safe to say that he's not quite such a legend here, but with luck Miguel Ramos' performance will exude enough energy and charisma to make us see what we've been missing. The show is in Spanish with simultaneous English translation available for those who don't agree beforehand that music, and the fiery tango in particular, are a near-universal language. - Mallory Jensen
