In conjunction with an ongoing exhibition of the late media artist Gretchen Bender, responses to her work by aural artists.  One is a Bender collaborator during her lifetime, Stuart Argabright (performing an audio-visual piece with his '90s post-industrial band Black Rain).  The other is List fave Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, whose electronic music is pleasingly sensual (although not cloyingly lush).  It's not clear whether there's still any way to get into this show -- but try.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT:  No food at onetime longshoremen's bar Montero Bar & Grill (the "Grill" is vestigial).  But drink enough and you won't notice.
