Conversation
Anjelica Huston
If, like me, you grew up in the '80s and '90s, you might best remember Anjelica Huston as the terrifying grand high witch in The Witches. But the Oscar-winning actress and director has enjoyed a long, successful career both before and after this silly movie, including life as a model in the '60s and '70s. In this City Arts & Lectures conversation, she'll talk about her role on Smash and her two-part memoir A Story Lately Told: Coming of Age in Ireland, London, and New York (the other half of which comes out next fall).
When: 7:30 p.m., Mon. 11/25
Where: Nourse Theater, 275 Hayes St.

"All Good Things"
This exhibit hinges on themes of impermanence and culminates in the six-hour marathon of time-based art 100 Performances for the Hole. SOMArts curator and gallery director Justin Hoover calls it "an experience through temporal objects that will happen only once and needs the viewer to exist." Guests will be given cassette recorders to document their impressions of the show while it's happening, and these live recordings will serve as the only official archived proof of the performance's existence once it's over.
When: "All Good Things" exhibit through Sat. 12/21; 100 Performances on 1/4/2014
Where: SOMArts Cultural Center, 934 Brannan St.
