Fri. Jan 8

Kat Wong goes by the moniker Katwong and she's got an exhibit up at MIT's Wiesner Gallery that closes Friday Jan. 8. To celebrate the exhibit, it will shut down with a bang, that is a guest reading by Mickey Leigh, musician and brother of the late Joey Ramone, and Legs McNeil, editor of the late great Punk magazine. The two collaborated on a book about Joey, "I Slept With Joey Ramone" - y'see Mickey and Joey shared a bed as kids - and they'll be reading from it at the exhibit, which runs 7-9:30. Wong's photo exhibit has a whole lot of cool rock 'n' roll photos. Check out the website: http://web.mit.edu/katwong/www/Katatonic/ And from MIT's description: "Music and performances have a unique psychological effect on the individual, performer and audience alike. A photographic shot isolates one moment in time, marking it in a medium that lacks movement and activity. Images freeze these essences, bizarre posturing, and psychomotor disturbances. It's hard to describe what is captured. Through a haiku, we see... Looking through the lens ... The world suddenly changes." Free.
