Do It This Weekend: Fall art openings, get S'Real at the Dali, Questa, movies and more
Posted by Franki Weddington on Fri, Aug 28, 2009 at 12:00 AM
The air is getting crisp, the leaves as starting to fall, and everywhere you go, the smell of autumn is in the
It's the final rendition of S'REAL Fridays at the Dalí. This arty twist to the beginning of the weekend includes jazz by MOD in the cafe (described as a "world-techno-acoustic-electro-jazz hybrid mash-up"), screenings of unusual silent films, complimentary hors d'oeuvres and, of course, access to the country's largest collection of Salvador Dalí works -- but you'll have to bring your own funny moustache. Fri., Aug. 28, 5:30-8:30 p.m., Salvador Dalí Museum, 1000 Third St. S., St. Petersburg, $8.50, salvadordalimuseum.org.
Bask provides the art and DJ Mega provides the tunes at the opening of Lucky You: A Mixtape Art Show. The artist's "abstractions seek to inspire rather than preach by liberating the mind from monopolizing directives disseminated from the masses," and connects the Communist propaganda prevalent in his early childhood in Czechoslovakia to the overwhelming barrage of advertisements that bombard our society today. Opening reception Fri., Aug. 28, 7 p.m., Reax Space, 1911 N. 19th St., Ybor City, knownasbask.com.
If you’re looking for a place to avoid Ronda Storms (or maybe run into Charlie Crist), I’d put my money on Gypsy Productions’ new show, Questa – which promises to offer poignant insight on sexuality, spirituality, love and loss. After Paul, the victim of an attempted gay bashing, kills (perhaps accidentally) his attacker, he’s overcome with guilt. He seeks redemption and solace by secretly following his victim's mother, hoping to ease her pain. Through Sept. 13, 7:30 p.m. Fri.-Sat., 3 and 7:30 p.m. Sun., Club Nautico, 4900 66th St., St. Petersburg, $20, nauticostpete.com. – Franki Weddington
The 2009 Global Lens Film Series continues with a screening of the Ecuadorian drama My Time Will Come. The film, a dark tale of a morgue physician who is better equipped emotionally to deal with the dead than the living, should also serve as a visually compelling introduction to Ecuador’s capital city of Quito. My Time is directed by Víctor Arregui, who made some waves at 2003 film fests with his debut film Outside, and screens only once at the Tampa Pitcher Show. Sun., Aug., 30, 2 p.m., Tampa Pitcher Show, 14416 N. Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, $5, free for GIFF members, gasparillafilmfestival.com. — Joe Bardi
