As the Biennial extravaganza continues, this weekend is filling up fast with tarty arty affairs. But, as y'all know, New York is never a one trick pony and there are also many non-Biennial-related events. Here's a couple worth trekking for:

1) Tonight and tomorrow night the recently New Yorker-profiled musical prodigy Nico Muhly teams up with Icelandic "hairy" artist Hrafnhildur Arnardottir aka Shoplifter at The Kitchen. The 8 p.m. shows are sold out but they added a 10 p.m. show just for tonight. Tickets are $10.

The Kitchen, 512 W. 19th St., www.thekitchen.org.

2) The far West Side gallery/watering hole Passerby is getting ready to kick the bucket soon and they want to take you down with them. Gavin Brown and company have been putting together a series of apocalyptic exhibitions under the name "newyorkisdead." The latest installment is "Depreciation & Devastation," curated by Mr. Brown himself with Darren Bader and Tony Just. As they say, misery loves company. So let's all congregate and shed some crocodile tears together.

Passerby @ GBE, 436 W. 15th St. (@ 10th Ave.), 6-9 p.m., www.newyorkisdead.biz.

So back on the Biennial arty-party train:

3) The Biennial inductee band Gang Gang Dance (Lizzi Bougatsos, Brian DeGraw, Tim DeWit and Josh Diamond) will perform on Sunday, March 9 at 9 p.m. in the Company Room H at the Park Avenue Armory.

4) Agathe Snow's "Stamina: Gloria et Patria," a week long dance-a-thon kicks off this Sunday, March 9th from 11 a.m. till 11 p.m at the Park Avenue Armory. Go and dance the morning, afternoon and night away!
