First Friday Arts Walk: Zack Kane, 1:96 |
Through his spacecraft creations and diagnostic
murals, Zack Kane explores the aesthetic and intellectual intricacies of space
travel. Although originating in his mind, his machines, made from assembled
cardboard, adhere to physical laws of functionality based on the power source
of 'dark matter.' This show combines beauty with innovation, questioning technology
as a means to an end or an end in itself. Also inherent to the show are ideas
about the nature of information and the limitless possibilities of outer space.
5-8pm, Free, All ages |

Conifer with Playing Enemy and Sulaco |
Aversion online on Conifer: "... The cool
thing is that it's not doomy or sludgy in a typical manner at all, there's
a subtle hint of melody in there with scattered bits of noisy lead playing
and such, and lots of stuttered rhythms and atypical atmospheres." 8:30,

Dead Meadow with Jennifer Gentle |
Dead Meadow's songs create a mood and a space
for imagination to roam and drift. The organic, analog 70's production brings

Italian Press, is like "The Incredible String Band playing Captain Beefheart
songs." Local rockers Fumare open. 8:30p, $6, 18+ |

Crooked Fingers w/ Liz Durrett |
After the Archers of Loaf disbanded, noted songwriter
and indie-rock icon Eric Bachman took his music in a different direction when
he formed CROOKED FINGERS in 2000. Instead of the clamorous, angular tock of
old, he began creating the sumptuous and delicately melancholic songs that
have come to define the band. - 8:30p, $10, 18+ |

Documentary Film: A Certain Kind of Death |
Unblinking and unsettling, "A Certain
Kind of Death" lays bare a mysterious process that goes on all around
us: What happens to people who die with no next of kin? The filmmakers
present this dark milieu in surprisingly composed and beautiful scenes,
as we witness a variety of public employees handling the bodies, personal
property and money of those who have died alone. Unexpected ironies and
compelling imagery force us to ponder the question "What is death?"
Followed by Q&A with Kristen Sweeney, MD, former Medical Examiner
for the State of Maine. (69 min)
