  Jiab Prachakul: Sweet Solitude

  Whoever says Austin isn’t a fine art town can get the hell out of here. We continually break artistic ground with innovative and international taste. The Contemporary once again adds to that rep by hosting artist Jiab Prachakul’s first solo museum show. Born in Thailand, living in France, and with a solid film background behind her, Prachakul’s work has a bold style and clear point of view. Heavy graphic lines and soul-stirring colors fill her art. Each moment could be a film still, each stroke staking her claim on a far-too-Western art world. Widely accessible but intensely intimate, Prachakul’s scenes beg for close inspection. Join the Contemporary, and the artist herself, in examining her offerings during Friday’s opening night festivities or in conversation on Saturday, Feb. 1. – Cat McCarrey

  Slide in the DMs

  She goes by many titles, but perhaps none fit so well in the context of this comedy show as Best of Austin nominee and Slide host Angelina Martin’s self-description as the “hot jock of Austin comedy.” Martin utilizes her jockular style to lead a hilarious monologuer-centric show where local stand-ups reveal their most embarrassing DMs – both incoming and outgoing – as fodder for improvised skits. Whether you’ve been the one shooting your shot or the one trying to fend off suitors, there’s a little cringe for everyone to chuckle at in this show. – James Scott

  First Saturdays. $20; $15, advance.
