| 5/10/2008 | $10 | michelle handelman + flaming fire Tonight Handelman will open the evening with some new three-channel works that re-animate, re-play and orchestrate excess with a glamorous loss of control. (videos) Flaming Fire is the twisted creation of Patrick Hambrecht, mid-Western son of a Baptist preacher. He imagined the group as an eerily masked Greek chorus, inspired not only by his religious upbringing, but his avid passion for comic books and creepy things that go bump in the night. In order to realize his vision, he enlisted the help of his talented wife, Kate, and a rotating group of musical friends, from comicbook writer/ performer Lauren Weinstein to Dewanatron, Joe McGinty, and Dame Darcy. Flaming Fire's weird and catchy songs, lively stage show, and unique costumes have helped gain them a strong fanbase at home in New York, and a growing fanbase throughout the nation |

| 5/16/2008 | Free! | For Reasons of State (Exhibition) Opening Reception: Friday, May 16, 5-8pm. Curated by Angelique Campens, Erica Cooke, and Steven Lam Helena Rubenstein Curatorial Fellows, The Whitney Independent Study Program. While the American government guarantees its citizens the freedom of speech and press, the intertwining of corporate and political interests dictates the public’s access to information— controlling the who, what, when, and how of what is seen and heard. As secrecy supplants transparency in our current flow of information, the urgent question for artists becomes what is at their disposal to observe, critique, or reveal. Foreshadowing the public’s participation in the upcoming election, For Reasons of State asks us to challenge whether our current use of the ‘need-to-know’ principle should be exchanged for a more democratic ‘right-to-know.’ Exhibition Hours: Tue-Fri, 12-6pm; Sat 11-6pm FREE |

| 5/18/2008 | Free! | Open Studio Tours at the historic Neumann Leathers Building in Hoboken. Artists, artisans, and craftspersons open their studios to the public this one day in hopes of bringing attention to this thriving artists community which is in danger of being torn down so another generic oversized condo building can be built in its place. Neumann Leathers was once the provider of the leather jackets and caps for the miliatary during World Wars I & II. Wide-sweeping housing development has, over the last 25 years, brought either the demolition or conversion of historical industrial buildings, which were once a central part of the city's history for well over 100 years. One of the last few structures, the Neumann Leather complex, remains as a small island that supports Hoboken's tradition as a center for arts and industry. Come visit the artists who work here while you still have a chance. | 1 PM-7 PM | NEUMANN LEATHERS BUILDING (web site) | 300 Observer Highway | Hoboken, NJ | |
