Monday, San Francisco
Ai Weiwei takes over Alcatraz 
The Chinese artist and political dissident Ai Weiwei's newest installation series is arguably one of the most talked-about art events in the world right now. By taking over the historic San Francisco prison site Alcatraz and incorporating seven site-specific installations in seven of the compound's different areas, Weiwei, whose recent history is peppered with arrests and heavy surveillance by the Chinese government, is shining a light on what it means to be a prisoner, and what it takes to believe in freedom.
On display until April 26, 2015. Alcatraz Island, San Francisco, for-site.org

Tuesday, Paris
Raquel Allegra's fashion-meets-art installation at Merci in Paris
The Los Angeles–based fashion designer Raquel Allegra has just unveiled an installation at the Paris fashion and interiors boutique Merci that incorporates a phalanx of hand-dyed garments and a 20-foot-high hand-crocheted, hand-dyed tapestry comprised of nearly 1,000 yards of cotton gauze.
On view until October 11 at Merci, 111 Boulevard Beaumarchais, Paris, merci-merci.com.

Friday, Dallas
The Joule Hotel debuts a chic new cocktail lounge
Dallas's most happening hotel, the Joule, is opening a new cocktail lounge called the Midnight Rambler. The Los Angeles–based boutique and design firm TenOverSix created the interiors; the New York–based cocktail sommeliers Cuffs & Buttons crafted the 19-century-inspired drink menu. Like the hotel's lobby, the lounge is home to numerous artworks, including some from Vivian Maier, the early 20th-century photographer whose works started gathering international interest after her death in 2009.

Friday, Brooklyn
A museum survey of Brooklyn artists
Because of the density and diversity of its creative population, no single artist or piece of art can ever be said to truly capture Brooklyn. To qualify this, the Brooklyn Museum is hosting a cross-borough sampling of 35 artists in its newest exhibition, "Crossing Brooklyn: Art From Bushwick, Bed-Study and Beyond." A number of nontraditional works are on view, such as the pastel-colored birdhouse Duke Reilly built as a home for pigeons he trained to fly cigars from Cuba to Florida, or Nobutaka Aozaki's caricature station, in which he draws visitors on smiley-face takeout bags instead of traditional paper.

Friday, Los Angeles (and New York)
The Ace Hotel collaborates with No. 6 Store
Atelier Ace is the multidisciplinary creative machine behind Ace Hotels and the force behind its frequent designer collaborations sold in the hotels' boutiques. Its latest capsule, created with the downtown New York boutique and clothing line No. 6, is a small line of womenswear that includes jackets, jumpsuits, a bag and a special blue version of No. 6's signature wedge clogs.
Available at Ace Hotel New York, 20 W 29th St., New York and Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles, 929 S. Broadway, Los Angeles; shop.acehotel.com.

Friday, London
A painter's striking renderings of movie stars and models
John McCarthy's hyperrealist paintings first brought the artist significant attention in 1999, when his portrait of a person standing behind Flemish glass won a Visitors Choice award at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Since then, he's participated in a number of exhibitions throughout the world, and has a gallery history that's virtually unmatched among self-taught painters. The Ben Oakley gallery is hosting his newest series of work: portraits of famous movie stars and magazine models rendered on crumpled paper.
Preview from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m.; Ben Oakley Gallery, 9 Turnpin Lane, London, benoakleygallery.com.
