    Jack Fischer Gallery: Frances Lerner - Minor Characters and Sympathetic Criminals.

    Comment by AB: Frances Lerner's heroine Lorelei lives her life in muted tones along with sundry other miscreants and lowlifes. Does she have the option to opt out or is she condemned to this compromised existence until the end? Stay tuned.

    Eli Ridgway Gallery: Mutables, Boundary Lines, and System Operations - Curated by Ashley Stull; System Operations - Curated by Kenneth White; Boundary Lines - Andy Vogt.

    Mutables photographers: Diane Arbus, Pieter Hugo, Nina Katchadourian, Ralph Eugene Meatyard, TV Moore, Adi Nes, Carrie Schneider, Cindy Sherman, SuttonBeresCuller, Gillian Wearing.

    System Operations video artists: Christine Ancalmo, Jeremy Bailey, Joe Barone, Anne Colvin, Theo Eshetu, Wineke Gartz, Marianna Milhorat, Julie Perini, Tasman Richardson, David K. Ross, Tom Sherman.

    Comment by AB: Group photography show ponders the potentialities of portraiture. Video aggregation centers on systems-- those that are in our control as well as those that control us. In the entryway, Andy Vogt continues his impalpable inquiries into the realm of discarded wood. There's beauty in them there throwaways.

    Precita Eyes at Meridian Gallery: Gala Benefit & Art Auction.

    Artists: John Wehrle, Suaro Cervantes, Margo Bors, Mike Mosher, Peyton Pickenpaugh, Fred Alvarado, Marina Perez Wong, Max Marttilla, Eli Lippert, Julia Kay, Ricardo Lazo, Max Allbee, Ricardo Lazo, Selma Brown, Cuba & Youth Arts, Cory Devereaux, Elaine Chu, Suaro Cervantes, more.

    Comment by AB: The venerable Precita Eyes mural arts organization is so way off the radar, hardly anybody knows they exist... and they've been around for 35 years. I happen to stumble upon this fundraiser on the way back to my car from the several other downtown shows this afternoon. Pure dumb luck. C'mon Precita Eyes; get it together. Email the usual suspects, get your events listed and increase your turnout (and support). You've got a lot of good art up for auction this evening, and this is all about fundraising, right? Well, the more attention you garner and the more people who attend events like this-- for an eminently worthy cause, I might add-- the more funds you raise. Simple, isn't it?
