    Comment by AB: This time around, over 500 pendents are on display at Ess Eff's premier venue for artist jewelry (at least in my opinion). You won't believe the selection-- and this is in addition to their regular stock plus there's a special display of reconstituted recycled jewelry. No matter what the occasion, there's always a copiously abundant abundance to choose from at Velvet da Vinci.

    Ratio 3 Gallery: Lutz Bacher - ODO.

    Comment by AB: The press release is a mildly editorialized recipe for Butterscotch Pudding. The art consists of several videos and an eye-level line of photographs running uninterrupted along the walls of the gallery from beginning to end and back again, and that includes around the corners and through the doorways. Plus there's a cacophonous soundtrack to raucous it all up. I have no clue what the deal is, but it twists me up kinda nice, and I gotta say I like it.

    Babylon: C3 - Within This Institution...

    Comment by AB: Tight miniature graphite drawings on found file folders are shown alongside graphite and white charcoal drawings on mint green card stock-- items one might come across while perusing the "institution"-- and well done. For the curious amongst you, C3 is short for Christopher C. Curtis. And for those of you keeping score at home, that was the seventh time I've used the word "amongst" in the entirety of my writing on artbusiness.com, and the one in quotes is the eighth. Meanwhile back at the gallery, I gotta whip out the pinkie cam for this one.
