Doris Day might be alive, but she probably won’t factor into your weekend. But here are some things that will—some you might have forgotten about, and some you haven’t had the chance to remember.

FRIDAY

Nearly every week NYU’s public reading series opens its doors to whoever for a chance to listen to some of the most innovative, current voices in poetry and fiction. Starting at five Joshua Beckman will be reading from his new poetry collection Take It. The reading will be held at the Lillian Vernon Creative Writers House on 58 West 10th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues.

SATURDAY

Art Hack Day is a celebration of artists and hackers—especially those who are both. Although the events at 319 Scholes kick off earlier in the week for collaborators and online audiences (on what? We don’t know), the doors will open to the public on Saturday for a closing exhibition, performances, and a blowout party.

SUNDAY

Although many of you probably don’t need the reminding, it’s nice to get a reiterative heads up about the KGB’s Sunday Night Fiction. This week Rebecca Gee, Lucinda Holt, Martha Qualben and Rachael Nevins will be presenting. 7:00 pm–9:00 pm. As usual.

MONDAY

The MoMA ps1 is exhibiting the latest work of Clifford Owens. Over twelve different composers submitted scores that Owens supplemented with video, photographs, and objects, in addition to live performances that he will present sporadically over the course of the show. If you can’t make it this week, don’t worry. The show runs until March 12. The next live piece will take place Saturday, February 11, at 3:00 pm.
