Friday, September 28 Asia After Dark: Asian Soundscape
?Art, drink and be happy;? it?s a simple premise for a fun night. The regular-but-still-too-rare After Dark dance party heads to the Sackler for an evening of drinks, music and art (and, oh yeah, face-painting). Curators Carol Huh and Alexander Nagel will start the night with tours of new exhibitions, which include Jananne Al-Ani?s video installation of aerial views of the Middle East, ?Shadow Sites,? and Ai Weiwei?s ?Perspectives,? as well as ?Nomads and Networks.? Sufficiently inspired by art new and old, you?ll be ready to get down to the digital dance party that is DJ Spooky. Come for the art, stay for the drinks. Or, come for the dancing, stay for the art. Or, come for the drinks, stay for the dancing. Just come. $25 ($30 at the door). 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.?Sackler Gallery.

Sunday, September 30 Luce Artist Talk with Krista Caballero
Stare, frown, step back. Most of us have our art viewing routine down to a thoughtful science. Break the routine with local artist, Krista Caballero, who will add her insight to a conversation on select pieces in the American Art Museum. Caballero, whose works focuses on the creation and identity of the mythic American West, will discuss works in the collection that resonate with her as an artist. Through her perspective, viewers can gain an understanding of the ongoing artistic conversation that occurs across generations, tying together everything from Byzantine icons to French turn-of-the-century advertisements to work from today?s artists. Free. 1:30 p.m. American Art Museum.
