ARTS: GABRIEL BARCIA-COLOMBO The Neon Museum’s 2021 Artist in Residence focuses his mixed-media work on collections, memorialization and our digital imprints, and Simulations of the Sacred, his exhibit at Juhl Las Vegas, follows that trend. “We live in a sort of hyperreality through technology, media and digital spaces that question our perceptions of truth, memory and history,” Barcia-Colombo explained in a statement about the show. “How does technology change our perception of reality? What sort of digital relics will we leave behind? Does an actual in-person experience matter, or is the documentation of an experience equally valid?” This weekend marks your last chance to catch Simulations, in which he utilizes neon, digital technology and Mexican folk art—including sculptures inspired by signs in the Neon Museum collection, along with digital nicho boxes—to tackle some of those questions. Through February 26, noon-6 p.m., free, 353 E. Bonneville Ave. #181, neonmuseum.org. –Evelyn Mateos

MUSIC: SILK SONIC We can’t think of a better match made in funk than Silk Sonic. After Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars formed the soulful duo in 2021, they released “Leave the Door Open,” a velvety offering straight out of an episode of Soul Train. That song carried the pair to the 63rd annual Grammy Awards, where they performed for the very first time. “Leave the Door Open” went on to rule the urban airwaves, spending two weeks at No. 1 and 18 in the Top 10. Just recently, Paak and Mars reclaimed their No. 1 spot with “Smokin Out the Window,” a funky tune about a tricky woman who’s got the duo paying her bills and running the streets. Catch them in all their retro glory this week or at one of their other dates through May. 9 p.m., February 25-26, March 2, $125+, Dolby Live, ticketmaster.com.

PARTY: MOKSI A bass rumble straight out of the Netherlands shakes Fremont East on February 27, when Moksi brings its deep house beats to Discopussy. The Dutch duo—producers Samir and Diego—has been flying just beneath the mainstream for several years, but the duo are steadily gaining altitude through relentless touring and high-profile remixes for Valentino Khan and DJ Snake. If you’d like an advance taste of what they have to offer, stream the fittingly named “Downtown” from their full-length 2019 debut The Return of House Music, and marvel at how easily they can produce a deathless party banger. Moksi sounds like it’s destined to soar even higher, so get on board now. 10 p.m., $20. Discopussy, seetickets.us. –Geoff Carter
