>> Winfield Gallery is showing Patterns of Infinity – New Works of Tracey Adams, which runs July 11-Aug. 3. Adams’s work incorporates music, math and nature. A series in this show is called “r_evolution” and you would be surprised by the simplicity and subtlety of these dot matrix-like beeswax and collage works. Monterey Museum of Art Chief Curator Karen Crews Hendon suggests thinking of John Cage as a reference. 624-3369.
>> The Pinnacles National Park’s Summer Speaker Series started last week at Soledad Library, led by Ranger Paul Marsell who spoke of ancient and modern explanations of thunderstorms. The next one happens 11am Saturday at the Pinnacles’ West Visitor Contact Station, and is titled “A Changing Landscape: How Humans Affect the Central Coast” and is given by Monica Galligan. After the talk, it seems a perfect opportunity to explore the landscape of the Pinnacles with a hike, no? 389-4485 or 389-4486 x262 for more info.
>> The Gateway Center for Monterey County hosts wheelchair accessible geocaching, with cool swag awaiting participants. Call 372-8022 x212 for more info.
>> Maybe you’ve been to New Orleans. Lucky you. Maybe you’ve loved New Orleans from afar, via music from Louis Armstrong or Wynton Marsalis, or the short-lived 1987 Tim Reid TV show Frank’s Place, or as a setting for Anne Rice’s Interview with a Vampire, or the hellacious Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent heartbreaking Spike Lee documentary When the Levees Broke, or the admirable HBO series Treme. Or the food, the history, the pageantry. Here’s another visit to the Big Easy: Getting Back to Abnormal is a documentary about the rebuilding of New Orleans, a stew of race, corruption and politics following the re-election campaign of a white woman vying for a city council seat traditionally occupied by black representatives. Its broadcast premiere is on PBS’s POV series, 10pm Monday. Go towww.pbs.org/pov/tvschedule for more.
>> Back in November, the Center for Photographic Art spoke to the Weekly about an innovative incubator program called PIE (Photography Ideas Experience).

Go to CPA’s website, www.photography.org, for more.
