Brooklyn Night Tonight!
The Public Art Fund has commissioned six emerging artists to put MetroTech Center through a process of “modification or metamorphosis.” Expect pixilated chain-link, bonfires, bent lampposts and a ghost. While you’re in the area, don’t miss Jeff Zimmerman’s live glass-blowing performance at UrbanGlass (6:30pm) or Kiki Smith’s ongoing exhibition, Sojourn, at the Brooklyn Museum (gratis thanks to Target Free Saturdays). Over in Bushwick, the two-day arts and music festival SITE Fest kicks off, while Brian Conley enacts his tabletop war game, Miniature War in Iraq…and Now Afghanistan, from 9 to 11pm at the Boiler in Williamsburg. Also, the members of the Williamsburg Gallery Association are keeping their doors open late (until 11pm).
