    Guerrero Gallery: Ryan Travis Christian - The Second Banana; OBLVN - Different Strokes, Different Folks.

    Review by Clare Coppel: Ryan Travis Christian covers the walls with large geometric patterns and positions detailed charcoal drawings of ghosts and patterns and shapes throughout. My favorites are the "gay" ghosts and the all back scribbled out "fuck you." Also showing are various characterizations of the intoxicated spray paint can, and fruit and vegetable types by OBLVN. Lovely colors, clean lines and cuteness abound.

    Comment by AB: Ryan Travis Christian conclusively confirms his aptitude for graphite in this op art extravaganza. Worth a visit.

    Gallery Heist: Gray Matter Paradise - Laura Hyunjhee Kim.

    Comment by AB: Laura Hyunjhee Kim is the undisputed star of her imaginative videos which range from bedroom soliloquies to psychedelic clone-laden rock outs. The wall space between one video and the next is peppered with twisty hieroglyphic diagrams. And a fish balloon. The verdict? Thumbs up.
