GUERRILLA TACTICS The Bronx Museum of the Arts hosts a Day of Collaborative Performance, in conjunction with its current exhibit “Making It Together: Women’s Collaborative Art and Community.” The event features continuous, carnival-like performances by Contemporary and Modern art collectives such as the Brainstormers!, Spiderwoman Theater, Ridykeulous, the Waitresses, and Guerrilla Girls, Inc., who will head a “Feminist Recruiting Center,” where anti-war counter-recruits can “enlist” and are given identification cards. The ongoing show explores a significant chapter in art history, when women artists, inspired by the feminist movement of the 1970s, found new ways to work collectively and address social issues. The program is curated by Carey Lovelace. Saturday, noon-6 p.m., Bronx Museum of the Arts, 1040 Grand Concourse at 165th Street, the Bronx, 718-681-6000, $5 general, free for members.

TALKS
BATTLE OF THE ART CRITICS The Jewish Museum presents “Identity, Engagement, Judgment: Clement Greenberg and Harold Rosenberg, Then and Now,” a discussion about the rival art critics who became instrumental in defining the terms of postwar American art. Both men were strong proponents of the Abstract Expressionist movement: Rosenberg is credited with coining the term “action painting,” while Greenberg was among the first to champion painter Jackson Pollock. But the two often clashed on paper, debating the finer points and merits of the avant-garde and Modern art movements. Panelists include the chairman of the department of the history of art at Yale University, David Joselit, and a professor of Modern art at New York University, Kenneth Silver. Thursday, 6:30 p.m., the Jewish Museum, 1109 Fifth Ave. at 92nd Street, 212-423-3200, $15 general, $12 seniors and students.
