Mütter Lecture Series: Dana Kollmann
Mütter Museum, 22nd and Chestnut
Kollmann wrote a book called Never Suck a Dead Man’s Hand: Curious Adventures of a CSI, a best-of from her ten odd years of work in that field in Baltimore County. Whether she reads from it David Sedaris style or just lectures on why not to suck a dead man’s hand, you can bet this will set the Friday mood. 6pm, free with museum admission.

First Friday
Tons of art happening. Vox has a new Andrew Suggs piece and a crucial Takeshi Murata burned-out Rambo video (see below) among others, 1026 turns ten years old, Copy has the start of a collaborative power-of-repetition installation from Emily Snedden, Espo’s killer show The Magic Word at PAFA is still rolling, new video art from oldhead Peter Campus at Locks, and plenty of unheard of hucksters trying to make a buck all up and down 2nd and 3rd.
