Ten curated Scope NYC picks for Thursday, June 11.
A 6 p.m. Lehmann Maupin opening has enough Chelsea evening energy to beat the passive all-day exhibition stack.
Planthouse gives Patterson's opening a quieter but focused art-world setting, a good counterweight to the bigger gallery names.
The Jazz Gallery keeps this one musician-forward and current, a strong early set for listeners who want the night to start sharp.
Abrons keeps the theater pick away from Broadway default mode, with a festival frame that should draw a more downtown crowd.
Rooftop Films turns this screening into an outdoor summer-night event, the rare film pick with enough occasion to hold a slot.
Union Pool plus a record-release bill gives the list a scrappier Brooklyn band night alongside the more polished jazz and art picks.
Rosnes at the Vanguard is the clearest jazz anchor on the night, a pianist-led quartet with real room-for-listening pull.
A record-release show at National Sawdust gives Bedouine's folk-pop polish a proper Brooklyn listening-room frame.
Roulette is the right home for this animation-and-performance bill, which gives the night a vivid experimental lane.
La MaMa gives this a specific performance-world signal, and the title has more intrigue than the day's routine stage listings.
