SUPERVISOR ROSS MIRKARIMI - SAN FRANCISCO ARTS COMMISSION GERAS TOUSIGNANT - LIVE WORMS - PING PONG LEAGUE OF YOUNG VOTERS 06.15.07 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi: Takin' it to the Streets: Queer Photographers Capture Marches & Protests in SF. Photographers: Rink Foto, Cathy Cade, Jane Cleland, Lynnly Labovitz, more. Comment: Group documentary photo show recounts nearly for decades of public demonstrations and celebrations in San Francisco's queer community. Photo. Photography. Photographs. Photos. Images. *** San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery, 155 Grove Street: Renee Gertler - Flood. Comment: Renee Gertler uses thin painted cardboard strips to materialize her conception of a flood-- a torrent of water falling from above and accumulating on the floor below. Gertler will progressively augment the installation-- increase the water level-- throughout the course of the show. Here we are. What it is. Looking at what it is. *** Geras Tousignant Gallery: Group Show 2007.

Comment: Diverse group show features something for everyone-- paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and more. I'm kinda partial to Matthew Trygve Tung's handsome hand-printed, hand-bound limited edition books comprised of his original etchings and text. Art. Art. Art. Book art (Matthew Trygve Tung - like 'em). Matthew Trygve Tung. Art. Outer. *** Live Worms Gallery: Nancy Calef. Comment: Signature North Beach bohemian shindig centers on the colorful people-packed bas relief genre fests of Nancy Calef. Art. Art. Art. Art. Atmosphere. *** Ping Pong Gallery: Jon Hittner - Everything You Think Is Right. Comment: Jon Hittner's atypically appealingly fresh perspective on nonconcrete has that certain je ne sais quoi I can't quite put my finger on. Like it. Art. Jon Hittner - art. Art. *** The League of Young Voters: Picture Progress 2007.

Comment: A fundraiser art auction with this much art by this many artists and, from the looks of things, not that many active collectors, generally indicates that bargains will be had (I had mine). So if you like your art affordable, don't miss this extravanga next year. Plus it's an excellent party for a great cause with all manner of peppy politicos running around. Five thumbs up. Art. Art. Art. Art. Art. Art. Er... art. Art. Art. Instant original drawing - $5. Art (Andrew Schoultz). Art. Art. Live auction audience. Live auction auctioneer. *** |
