Creative Time’s Drifting in Daylight in Central Park There’s only one more weekend to catch Creative Time’s Drifting in Daylight, which brings together a variety of artists—including Ragnar Kjartansson, Spencer Finch, and Alicia Framis—for interactive performances in the northern end of Central Park. Don’t miss it!

Robert Irwin at Dia:Beacon If you are feeling adventurous, you can head out of town to the Storm King Art Center for Lynda Benglis: Water Sources, the first exhibition centering on the artist’s monumental bronze and cast polyurethane fountains. While you’re up there in Hudson Valley, go to Dia:Beacon for Robert Irwin’s delightful site-specific installation Excursus: Homage to the Square3. Okay, these two aren’t technically in the five boroughs, but there’s always Zipcar.
