Prosers and poets, artists and explorers can all find something to love in Richard Levy Gallery’s latest exhibition, formally opening on Saturday, June 9. Eric Tillinghast’s Þyngdarljóð, or Gravity’s Poetry in English, is comprised of lightboxes that depict waterfalls the artist studied during a two month stint in Iceland. The light boxes are activated by internal mechanics that bring life and movement to the pieces. Tillinghast has been working with water as material for sculpture for more than two decades—to exciting and beautiful effect. Stop in at the gallery between 5 and 8pm to celebrate the opening of the show and see some of Tillinghast’s latest works.

The year is 2020—The Future. In a dimly lit oval office, the leader of the free world contemplates the view and rolls ice in his tumbler. He turns, his noble brow—destined to grace Mount Rushmore one day—is framed by a halo of moonlight. This president has seen it all. He once wrestled a lizard man to the death. He wore tights in earnest. Yes. We are talking about William Shatner. This Wednesday, June 20, at the Kiva Auditorium, show your peers where you stand by witnessing our future president's inspiring live presence. The legendary Shatner will be performing from 7:30 to 9:30pm. Tickets start at $52.

(Editor's note: Will Shatner is not running for president—yet.)
