Many annoying tropes of performance art can be traced to Andrea Fraser but tonight at the Corcoran, she’ll present a reflective piece. The artist will reenact a 1972 broadcast about feminism. The original “Men on the Line, KPFK” piece interviewed four men on their feelings about the feminist movement; Fraser will read those transcripts, performing all four parts and, for once, recount someone else’s vision of a concept that used to shock people but really shouldn’t have. Read more >>> The performance begins at 7 p.m. at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, 500 17th St. NW. $6–$18. (202) 639-1700. corcoran.org. (Kriston Capps)
