No, not a 1970s soft-porn film but a rather esoteric exhibition devoted to the life and acquisitions of art patron Cassiano dal Pozzo. Dal Pozzo – diplomat, naturalist and man of letters – was also the potent protector of Nicholas Poussin and Pietro da Cortona. This show, divided into various thematically-linked sections, comprises not only works of art by Bernini, Domenichino, Sacchi and Poussin, but also contemporary documents and manuscripts. Together, they reflect the tastes of the individual collector and recreate the artistic and scientific climate in 17th-century Rome.

On weekends this hardcore dance club draws a large crowd of beautiful men – and a few comely ladies – all eager to sweat off the day’s anxieties to a raucous beat. One of the most popular gay clubs on the Beach, Pump has a spacious dance floor that is usually filled to capacity. You may have to stand in line to get in, but the wait is worth it. If you want to party ’til breakfast, this is your place.

Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts is currently exhibiting ‘Reflexion’, an installation created by contemporary French artist Christina Boltanski that addresses the power of memory and concept of identity through simple materials like mirrors and second-hand photos printed on fabric. To go accompany the show, the Museum’s is screening an evening of films about Boltanski. ‘Christian Boltanski’ by Gerald Fox centres around an interview with the artist and features footage of him at work, while ‘Christian Boltanski: Portrait’ by Brigitte Cornand follows the artist on a lecture tour of Germany.

Fans will be gassed when Fuel brings their modern rock-radio friendly brand of music to the Fillmore. On the heels of their successful 1998 début album ‘Sunburn’, the band is touring again with a new album under their belt called ‘Something Like Human’. This time out, the Pennsylvania-based group mine the depths of alterna-rock skilfully if not shamelessly. Yet the heavily influenced result (sounding at turns like everyone from Pearl Jam to Live to Tool) still manages to carve out a bit of signature sound. Refreshingly the songs manage to stay away from the typically mindless digressions of life’s little miseries. It’s mostly a lot of fun, guitar-driven sound. Nickelback and Full Devil Jacket open the show.
