Hello Raleigh-Durham.
Here are some of our picks for intriguing events coming up in the Triangle in January and February.
Classic movie celebrating the ego. This Thursday, January 14, the local group Triangle Modernist Houses will host a screening of The Fountainhead, based on the smashing novel by Ayn Rand. I read this for the first time during my economics class at N.C. State. A lot of architects know about it, and more people have an opinion about Rand. It’ll be at Cary’s Galaxy Cinema, at 7pm. Register for Triangle Modernist Houses’ Fountainhead screening. Also see our previous post on trusses.
Vintage graphic design exhibition in Raleigh. Raleigh City Museum’s newly opened exhibit The Art of Business shows old graphic art for commercial use in Raleigh. Vintage signs, ads, and package designs are part of the show.
“Museum visitors will get a glimpse of beautiful craft that went into designing the business identities of the past,” say the organizers. “Highlights will include an extensive look at former business letterheads from the 1880s to the 1940s, and a look at the first advertising agency to set up shop in Raleigh, The Howard Agency. ”
Scary but intriguing play about online weirdness. Manbites Dog Theater will show “Neighborhood 3: Requisition of Doom” by Jennifer Haley and director Jeff Storer starting February 18.
“The lines blur between reality and fantasy, and fear takes on a life of its own when kids in a suburban neighborhood become immersed in a sinister online game.”
I’m not usually a fan of this genre but I haven’t been to Manbites Dog in a decade. Yay that it’s still there!
Irish music. Celtic Woman is coming to Durham Performing Arts Center on Saturday, February 13. I recommend this blind because a) I love Irish music since we lived in County Cork for three years and b) I hear lovely things about the new arts center.
Other music. DK went to see this band called The Clientele twice in Seattle—they’re coming to Cats Cradle on February 24. Should be good.
