(Georgetown, free)
Closing Saturday
26. Favorite's Favorite's Favorite
For the pleasingly recursive Favorite's Favorite's Favorite, the artists decide who they will share the gallery space withâthe only rule being that the artists may not know each other personally or professionally. In this case, Hedreen curator Molly Mac chose multimedia artist/butoh dancer DK Pan as the Favorite; they in turn invited Neddy Award-winning painter Christopher Paul Jordan, who has a sharp eye for racial politics in his investigations of history, iconography, and land use. Then, both artists selected RYAN! Feddersen, an Okanagan/Arrow Lakes mixed-media artist who draws on her heritage to make interactive, interrogative, materially inventive pieces. Any of these artists on their own would be worth seeing; make sure you get there before the exhibition closes on Friday, with Pan's video art on view until Saturday at 11 pm. JOULE ZELMAN

Grand Illusion and the Sprocket Society will continue their tradition of pairing an adventure serial with a different secret matinee movie every week. This year, the serial is Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe, and the theme of the feature film will change every fortnight (maybe they stole the idea from the Stranger's new printing schedule. Though probably not). These themes include "Alien Invasion!," "Swashbuckling Heroes!," "Very Bad Deals," "Twisted Intrigues," "Atomic Monsters," and "Widescreen Thrills." The coolest part, from a film buff point of view? Everything will be presented on 16mm.

(Shoreline, $10)
48. Bar House Fest
Spend much time going to bars in downtown Fremont, and the dearth of options apart from â$15 cocktailsâ and âbutton-downs and beer pongâ quickly becomes evident. A notable exception is Bar House, a kinda-sorta dive bar with below-market drink prices, a working-class clientele, and eccentricities that feel genuine instead of focus-grouped. The barâs vibe reflects owner Ben Verellen, a Seattle musician whose eponymous boutique amplifier company is downstairs. This show, headed up by Verellenâs long-running hard-rock band Helms Alee, commemorates the barâs first anniversary of what I hope will be many, of bringing some personality to the neighborhood.

92. Triumvir Foul, Crurifragium, Caustic Wound, Hacksaw
The old-school death-metal revival may have reached peak saturation in 2017ânot that anyone who isnât constantly scouring the web for abyssal growling music would be able to tell. With peak saturation comes boredom. There are only so many riffless Incantation clones a person can sit through, but still, America keeps producing more. Kudos, then to Portlandâs Triumvir Foul, who might be the best OSDM revival act in Oregon. They manage to walk the tightrope of being obviously inspired by Morbid Angel without ever really sounding too much like Morbid Angel, and these days thatâs a feat. JOSEPH SCHAFER
