Weekend Update: Bionic plants and aliens in LIC, surf-rock fest in Rockaway, and a bike tour around Hunter's Point

Check out the mind-bending sculptures of Bill Bollinger

If you missed these incredible sculptures at last weekend’s Queens Art Express, you can still see Bollinger’s work at SculptureCenter in LIC.

Visit Flux Factory’s final weekend of the Bionic Garden

Veggies growing in midair, crops that tweet when they’re thirsty, and creepy biodegradation. This ingenious art exhibit puts plants where you’d least expect them in the city.

Rock out in the surf

Get to Rockaway for the 6th annual Rockstop and Barrels festival. Surf contests, skate board demos, and live music from 12-6PM at the beach.

See an action-packed sci-fi play performed at the Secret Theater

You can see SOVEREIGN, a “plot-driven epic” at the Secret Theater in LIC at 8PM Saturday or for a matinee at 3PM Sunday. The reviews have been pretty good and, hey, who doesn’t love alien melodrama?

Take the Ferry to Hunter’s Point and explore museums via bike

Rent a bike for $35/day once you’re off the ferry, bike between art museums and end with a walk through Gantry Plaza State Park. For a great weekend guide to Hunter’s Point, check out this week’s feature from BrooklynBased.
