With most galleries heading to art fairs in Miami, this coming week will seem very quiet in New York. There will still be a number of openings in the LES and a few more in Chelsea and Brooklyn, but it will stay mostly low-key throughout the city.

However, a couple of spaces and institutions have prepared and will continue series of multimedia performances that we are very excited about. These include robbinschilds' at Art in General and the events that The Artist's Institute will be hosting in conjunction with its presentation of works by Haim Steinbach. MoMA PS1 will also present its Sunday Sessions program with a very special number of screenings, lectures and events.

Friday:
+ Ben Vida, Haim Steinbach at Hunter College (The Artist's Institute)
+ Performance: Marco Fusinato, Title TK at Triple Canopy

Sunday:
+ Performance: Sunday Sessions hosted by Riot Of Perfume at MoMA PS1
