Lady Miss Kier

Never Apart teams up with POP Montreal to present the latest Q&A session in the cultural venue’s Legends Series, featuring none other than DJ and Groove Is in the Heart vocalist (from her days as frontwoman of Deee-Lite) Lady Miss Kier, appearing in conversation with Michael Venus in advance of her set tonight at the Piccolo Rialto. 7049 St-Urbain, 4 p.m., free

The MAI welcomes the public to a vernissage for Montreal artist Anna Jane McIntyre’s new immersive multimedia installation work, La forêt noire, where visitors meander through a shadowy print-media forest of stylized trees, accompanied by a mysterious soundscape giving the perfect atmosphere to contemplate self-identity through cultural experiences, using her British, Trinidadian and Canadian roots as a guide. 3680 Jeanne-Mance, 5–8 p.m., free

Hochelaga gallery Espace Scuderi hosts the fourth edition of the erotic art show S.E.Xposition featuring over 100 artworks including paintings, screenings and music plus live painting by a different artist each night of the show (tonight’s guest artist is Virginie Lauzon), plus live nude body painting by O’Kane. 3890 Ste-Catherine E., 6–11 p.m., $10, continues through Sunday

POP Montreal goes into night mode with a Heavy Trip/Arbutus Records joint showcase at Studio Rialto, featuring Moon King, Doomsquad, Blanka, Bodywash, Sorry Girls and a DJ set by Pascale Project. 5723 Parc, 8 p.m.–2 a.m., $10/$12
