Art People Gallery: Susan Z. Breyer - Immersion.

Review by RWM: Beautiful outdoor images captured in abstraction. Lively color schemes and evocative living components result in somewhat of a spiritual experience. There are fields of color and there are icebergs. Outdoors you might enjoy inspiring sunlight or a walk in the fog. On a cold windy rainy day, you might prefer to take in the natural beauty as displayed on these walls.

Review by Clare Coppel: Along the left side gallery, a group show of winners of the Critical Mass Photography Competition. Subjects include subway trains about to be dumped in to the ocean, dead cats, empty houses, and many more interesting images. Along the right side gallery, a City College student group show.

Review by RWM: Incredible collection of photographs this time. Amazing work on display. So much variety that one is likely to be astounded. Critical Mass achieved in mass.

Comment by AB: "The aim of Photolucida's Critical Mass program is to give exposure to emerging and mid-career photographers across the globe."

San Francisco Art Institute: 2011 MFA Graduate Exhibition.

Artists: 72 total.

Comment by AB: Am I glad I came out to Treasure Island tonight for the preview, one day in advance of the onslaught. I can safely say this will be the last time The Winery SF on Treasure Island hosts this show. It's a terrific venue for manageable crowds. For the masses, it's a mele. But enough about what I fortuitously missed. Talent time...
