Pencil This In

ART: Artist Adrienne Leban (artwork pictured) has been a professor at the School of Visual Arts for almost four decades; her new work is done entirely free-hand, without sketches or instruments, in India ink on wood, watercolor paper, or canvas. (It’s terrific; check it out.) This weekend’s three-day exhibit inaugurates the new Corey Gallery; part of the proceeds will benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists. - John Del Signore

Friday // Opening Reception 6pm – 11pm // The Corey Gallery [7 W 25th St]

MOVIE: Downtown Drive-In Movies aren't in downtown Manhattan, but hey - it's a nice night to head to Staten Island. The four week series is showing a double feature tonight of: Madagascar and The Godfather. Sort of an odd match-up, but if you've got a car and a hankering to get out of Manhattan...

Friday // 8:30pm // Richmond County Bank Ballpark [75 Richmond Terrace at Wall St, Staten Island] // $25

THEATER: Two theater companies, downtown's Ontological-Hysteric and Williamsburg's The Brick are thinking very small this weekend with the 2nd annual Tiny Theater Festival. The rules are simple: any form of “theater/dance/dance-theater/puppet-theater/object-theater/installation” is allowed as long as it’s confined to a space measuring 6' x 6' x 6' or smaller and ends in less than ten minutes. (Performers who run over their time get the tiny hook.) Click here for the Ontological shows and here for the Brick Theater wing of the festival, which will continue next weekend with a different set of lil’ productions. - John Del Signore

Friday // Times Vary // Ontological Theater [131 east 10th St], The Brick Theater [575 Metropolitan Ave, Brooklyn] // Tickets cost $15

THEATER/ART: A performance installation labyrinth that ruminates on passage and desire, You Are Here takes over chashama this month. Over 150 artists and performers, including Ben Bromley of Fischerspooner and Dave Longstreth of Dirty Projectors (myspace) fill the maze at various times with “beckoning inhabitants, dead ends, and uplifting epitaphs. The audience enters in search of a performer they may have heard about, drawn in by the beast on the window/stage, or enticed by the ladies of Delicious Beverages (dressed as Minoan Minotaurs) who offer a guerilla open bar. In the maze, performers change location, alternate, and throw sound, so that finding the object of desire may be more complex than anticipated.” - John Del Signore

Saturday // 5pm-11pm // chashama [112 W 44th St] // FREE
