Much like First Fridays, the ICA Boston lures us into their after-hours on other nights of the week with the promise of dancing, entertainment and long uninterrupted ogling opportunities of their artsy offerings. Upcoming includes live DJ sets for a series of soirees on the water featuring Merrill Garbus of tUnE-yArDs, Beirut bassist Paul Collins, Shannon Funchess of Light Asylum and DJ Windows 98 AKA Win Butler of Arcade Fire. Want to know what you’re in store for? Check out these clips below.
The ever-cool Shannon Funchess of synth-duo Light Asylum will play the ICA on Aug. 26 from 5 to 9 p.m. and will be followed by an outdoor screening of Jean-Paul Goude’s Grace Jones concert flick, “A One Man Show.” ($5 members, $15 for non-members)
