Continuing

The walls of 108 Contemporary are covered in insects, but don’t call the exterminator. A variety of insects arranged in symmetrical patterns are but part of the gallery’s latest exhibition, Beauty Unseen: Jennifer Angus and Bob Sober. A professor of design studies at the University of Wisconsin, Angus makes art installations from dead bugs pinned to the wall in patterns referencing textiles and wallpaper. Tulsa artist Sober creates close-up images of Angus’ installations. What could be considered macabre is instead fascinating and beautiful as viewers discover bright designs, colors and combinations created first by nature and then by artist. Beauty Unseen is a part of the New Genre Festival, which officially opens Feb. 25. The exhibit opened Feb. 7 and runs through March 23 at 108 E. Brady St. 108 Contemporary is open noon-7 p.m. Thursday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday and Wednesday. For more, visit www.108contemporary.org.

Willie Nelson & Family

Thursday, Feb. 6, 8 p.m.

How do you summarize the career of a legend like Willie Nelson? Rebel, maverick, hippie, folk hero – Nelson has been embraced with any number of adjectives creative and synonymous with his independent spirit. While some music entertainers readily fold their careers for retirement after the heavy airplay has stopped, Nelson carries on as if the R-word is nonexistent. Whether it’s new material or an album like To All the Girls, a retrospective of duets with female country and folk music artists (including Dolly Parton, Miranda Lambert, Alison Krauss, Sheryl Crowe, Carrie Underwood, Norah Jones and Mavis Staples, to name a few), Nelson is as timeless as it gets. Listen for yourself when Willie Nelson and Family play the Joint at the Hard Rock Tulsa Hotel & Casino, 777 W. Cherokee St., Catoosa. Show is at 8 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 6, and tickets are $50-$60 each.
