Your So Called Artsy Fartsy Saturday

For our Columbus New Dark Agers we have a couple of excellent suggestions for your Saturday night.

First, head over to the Wex at 7pm for Who Gets to Call It Art? For a mere six bucks (four if you’re a student) you get to take a wild ride with some legendary artists and curators through the art scene of the 1960s. Time Out New York calls this film "wonderful... an exuberant fix for art junkies." It includes never-before-seen footage of Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, and others. As well as a kickass soundtrack jamming the Velvet Underground, Can, Eric Dolphy, and the Monks. It's a thrilling, vibrant look at an amazing ten years when American artists were challenging just about everything.

After the flick, head down to Neo on King to see Seth Scantlen’s art opening with live music provided by local legends, Heavy Mole. They proclaim to have at least two new songs for your aural pleasure and they’ll have CD’s available for purchase (they’ll even sign them if you ask nicely).

After all of that, if you still have any energy left you may want to swing through the Short North to canvass for last minute bread crumbs and unfinished plastic cups of wine or maybe hit up the St. James for Chris McCoy and The Diverters.

That’s all we got. Enjoy, drive safe, love one another (sexually). Art!
