Saturday Night

I will most likely be going to this (who's in?):

FastX2 Take your time here, bro:
If a baboon and a crocodile were to meet in a death match on the beach, which would win? Need more information? Well, you won't find out who prevails in this epic battle of beasts, but you'll get an addled sense of the fight in the work of Fontbonne University painting student Brian DePauli. DePauli, whose oeuvre includes such works as Ninja Goose (goose battling fox) and Throw, Bite, Throw (a triptych of intergenerational bovine struggle), is part of White Flag Project's second annual FastX2, a juried exhibition of undergrads and grad students at St. Louis area colleges and universities. The show also features photographs by SIU-Carbondale's John David Corson and Webster's Mandie Steiling. Washington University's Jake Cruzen, an installation artist, and Ian Weaver, a painter, also made the cut. May 17 (reception 7-10 p.m.) through June 21 at White Flag Projects, 4568 Manchester Avenue; 314-531-3442 or whiteflagprojects
