21. Juventino Aranda: Weed the Lawn and Feed the Roses
This is Walla Walla artist Juventino Aranda's first solo exhibition at Greg Kucera Gallery, and it's well-deserved and exciting for the gallery. Aranda was included in Tacoma Art Museum's NW Art Now in 2016, in Out of Sight at King Street Station, and in the electric What You See Is What You Sweat exhibition at CoCA during Seattle Art Fair. He makes sculptural installations, paintings, textiles, and videos that are pointed embodiments of his experiences as a Latino man in a blinkered white culture. In one video, he spent a protracted time snipping blades of grass with handheld scissors, performing a laborious task with pride and precision. In large wall textiles, he takes discarded yardage from the Pendleton mills, where manufactured blankets mimic indigenous trade items from the Southwest and Mexico, and paints fields of color on them so they resemble the high art of Mark Rothko's color fields. With titles like When All You Have Left Are Limes, Make Margaritas, Nod and Smile and Old and Faithful Since 1848 (Yellowstone), the pieces contrast his family's hard history of migrant work with the grandiosity and sublimity of art and landscape. They reject the presumption that we all share the same Northwest. This is the closing weekend. JEN GRAVES
(Pioneer Square, free)
22. Michael Knutson: Symmetrical Fields

31. Drab Majesty, Youryoungbody, Foie Gras, DJ Exploratuer, Sharlese
If youâre looking for one of the most rewarding convergences of shoegaze and goth happening right now, you should direct your ears toward Drab Majesty. The LA-based projectâs name telegraphs their sound, which is very considerate of them. They cite Red Lorry Yellow Lorry (a British band that flourished in the 1980sâthey were the impecunious personâs Sisters of Mercy) and the Chameleons as influences, and Iâd add Legendary Pink Dots and Sad Lovers and Giants. Basically, Drab Majesty use mutedly chiming guitar and satisfying drum-machine programming to conjure vistas of grandly glum rock for people who view smiling with utmost suspicion. As they prove on their new album, The Demonstration, Drab Majesty are exceptional at what they do. DAVE SEGAL

46. Research: Dean Grenier, Tyler Morrison, Ahold Of
Back in 1973, Elton John sang that Saturday nightâs all right for fighting, but he perhaps didnât know that itâs also optimal for the sort of hard, menacing techno made by Los Angeles producer Dean Grenier. (Helping matters: Kremwerkâs Turbosound rig, which the club is demoing tonight.) On works like 2016âs Rangeform EP, Grenier locates the transcendent grit in relentless rhythmic momentum and remorseless atmospheres. The great feat of producers like this is, they convert seemingly morbid elements into celebratory sounds that kick your ass into fifth gear. Former Seattle DJ Tyler Morrison now resides in Berlin (technoâs world capital), where heâs honed his techno chops and increased his knowledge. He knows a thing or five about getting you out of your earthbound mind. Welcome back, Big Red. DAVE SEGAL

What happens after you die? And, what is true happiness?"
