Comment by AB: This month's creative escapades at the urban art megastore include a group show in the front and side exhibition spaces celebrating the gallery's eleventh anniversary, Chad Hasegawa paintings and sculptures in the center space with a monumental homage to his father on the back wall, Adele Renault's impressive portraits of Tenderloin denizens in the right side project room, and in the left project room, Adam Caldwell's painterly tableaus combine elements of the past, present and seminal events in stunning and unexpected ways.

Park Life: Folding the Blanket of Time.

Artists: Sarah Hotchkiss, Courtney Johnson, Maysha Mohamedi.

Comment by AB: Work by three San Francisco artists-- colorful minimalist sculptures by Sarah Hotchkiss, several appealing paintings by Courtney Johnson that could be construed as folded blankets (thereby meshing with the show's title), and Maysha Mohamedi going abstract primitive (or maybe meta-modern... it's difficult to tell these days).
