to save his son, Morad's father leaves his job and family and brings Morad to

Other. Tickets
required. Tatzu Nishi: Discovering Columbus: Visit the Famous Statue Up Close
and 70 Feet in the Air, Columbus Circle, Intersection of Eighth Ave., Broadway
& W. 59th St. Ticket info: 1-212-223-7800. 10:00AM to 9:00PM.
This major new artwork has been created by the Japanese
artist Tatzu Nishi. The work places the 13-foot-tall statue of Columbus in the
center of an American living room six stories above the city streets,
recontextualizing the historical monument and temporarily transforming it into
a contemporary artwork. The room will feature many of the trappings of a
domestic living room—lamps, a couch, a coffee table, a television, and more—as
well as custom wallpaper by the artist. Through large, loft-style windows,
visitors will have dramatic views of Central Park and Midtown Manhattan that
will be seen from Columbus’s perspective for the first time.
Pass holders are asked to climb six flights of stairs to a
height of 70 feet above street level and to descend by a second set of stairs.
Flat, rubber-soled shoes are strongly recommended. This exhibition is ADA
accessible. If a visitor requires the use of a mobility device (e.g.
wheelchair, crutches, or a cane) or has a condition that prevents him or her
from using the stairs, a hoist is available. Visitors under 13 years of age
must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Those between the ages of 13 and
18 may visit without an adult, however a parent or guardian must obtain a pass
for them. Given the physical demands of visiting the exhibition, it is not
recommended for children under the age of 5. Strollers are not permitted.

Performance. David
Levine's Habit, a Durational Performance Installation. Essex Street Market:
Building B, 130 Essex St., @ Rivington St. 1-212-477-5829. 1:00PM to 9:00PM.
Habit is a durational performance installation created by
provocateur David Levine, with a commissioned script by playwright Jason Grote
(NBC’s Smash) and environment by Marsha Ginsberg. Within a four-walled, fully
furnished and functional American ranch house (stocked refrigerator, working
stove, plumbing, running water), three actors perform a 90-minute drama on a
continuous loop for eight hours a day. Although the language never changes,
they improvise the staging to suit their needs—when they’re hungry, they cook;
when they’re dirty, they wash.
Spectators will circulate around the outside of the house,
observing the action through the open windows and doors. A play contained
within a sculpture, Habit fuses conventional theater, reality TV, and visual
arts performance, short-circuiting our assumptions about spectatorship,
performance, routine, and realism.

St. & North End Ave. 1-212-417-7000.
In celebration of the opening of The Sweet LIFE exhibition,
the legendary downtown band Sex Mob takes on the music of the great Italian
film composer Nino Rota, frequent collaborator of director Federico Fellini.
Rota scored all of Fellini’s films from The White Sheik (1952) to The Orchestra
Rehearsal (1979), and won the Academy Award in 1974 for the score to The
Godfather.
Led by trumpeter and bandleader Steven Bernstein since 1995,
Sex Mob is a rare group that has created its own sound, a completely unique
language combined with the telepathy that musicians cultivate over years of
playing together. Grounded in jazz but marked by a dazzling versatility, their
repertoire can range from Nirvana to Prince, Bond to Basie, and everything in
between.
