    Ever Gold Gallery: Water McBeer Gallery.

    Artists: Gerald Anekwe, Quinn Arneson, Mario Ayala, Juan Manuel Bocca, Jordan Bogash, Ryan de la Hoz, Jeremy Fish, Matt Furie, Jay Howell, Henry Gunderson, Lili Ishida, Warren Thomas King, Kool Kid Kreyola, Aubrey Learner, Calvin Marcus, Evan Nesbit, Matthew Palladino, Albert Reyes, Eric Shaw, Aiyana Udesen, Jamie Williams, Susan Wu, Alexander Ziv, Guy Overfelt, PEZ.

    Review by RWM: The art boxes on the walls tell 22 tales with their settings and sometimes narratives. "Galleries" include households, bars, nature, bugs, figurines... You can enter many different worlds here, so many that you'll likely not get lost in any single story.

    Review by Mairead O'Connor: Ever Gold gallery is transformed into the Water McBeer Gallery, hosting 22 different exhibitions under one roof-- each a diorama, each a miniature scene. They're all beautifully crafted and take viewers on fun and fascinating journeys.

    Comment by AB: Galleries within a gallery, all exceptionally entertaining. And a sellout crowd too. This one's a must-see.

    Gallery Heist: Cara a Cara - Guille Moreno Mirallas & Xiscalina Yular.

    Review by RWM: Bright colors. Pleasing contrasts. Pink, green, gray, teal and orange. There is more than one presence on display in the individual works whose compositions have life.

    Review by Mairead O'Connor: This show really impresses me. Two young artists from Barcelona, Guille Moreno Mirallas and Xiscalina Yular, worked together on each piece to create evocative abstracts. Their work is just what you would expect from the Barcelona School.

    Robert Berman / E6 Gallery: Circumspect - Jeff Charbonneau & Eliza French.

    Review by RWM: Fantastic images of large imaginative landscapes. Magic globes pervade these incredible photographs. Here are fire balloons and spherical visitors while contemplative figures in the vicinity experience this otherworld.

    Comment by AB: Photographs shot and developed with traditional film and darkroom techniques. Hard to believe, but every last detail of these chimerical compositions is staged. No Photoshop or digital manipulations whatsoever; these photographs are the results of pure painstaking logistics. You see exactly what the camera saw, and that's what makes this show a winner. Stop on by.
