Electric Works: Harry Clewans, Jeremiah Maddock and Dave Schubert.

Comment by AB: Large, impressive and stylistically unique ink and paper compositions on wood by Harry Clewans; over 100 delightfully meticulous drawings by Jeremiah Maddock arrayed installation-style; foreboding documentary photography by Dave Schubert ranges from streetwise urban to abstract and surreal.

1AM SF Gallery: Operation Restore Defenestration - Brian Goggin.

Comment by AB: A rousing Black Rock-esque escapade to raise funds for the restoration of Defenestration (the building with the furniture sticking out if it on the corner of 6th and Howard Streets. For more information or to donate, please visit the the Defenestration website. I'd love to see it returned to its original outlandish grandeur.

Timezone Gallery: What it is - Scott Greenwalt, Frank Skillman, Bob Burnside.

Comment by AB: A good percentage of the art in this show has been produced right here at the gallery with materials provided by the gallery.

Fabric8 Gallery: Brian Barneclo - Systemic.

Review by RWM: Nice to see such cool and urbane works presented. Though sharp at times, color combinations soften the images and make them soulful. One is reminded of soul and jazz and The City in these stylistic portrayals.

Project One: Four Squared - Chor Boogie, Jet Martinez, David Choong Lee, Apex.

Comment by AB: The finest in urban collaboration courtesy of an eminently accomplished foursome. From murals to stand alone works, it's all good here.
