Jack Fischer Gallery: Maximalism... Utopia - Ema Harris-Sintamarian.

Comment by AB: Combine the primal force of Kandinsky's early abstractions with the precision geometry of his later Non-Objective work, multiply by 1000, add poppers, and here's what you get...

Adobe Books Backroom Gallery: 4 DIMENSIONAL ________ IN FOUR D - Grant Earl Lavalley and Daniel Olsen.

Comment by AB: I'm not exactly sure what the deal is here; the statement is no help (probably so intended). But all things considered, the show's twisty enough to tantalize.

Comment by AB: Container loads of quality art by emerging to established area artists goes on the block tonight in support of Southern Exposure, one of San Francisco's most prodigious and omnipresent nonprofit arts organizations. I arrive early so that I can photograph the art in advance of the crush. Hundreds of fans and supporters attend-- a great evening and a great cause. This is an event not to be missed, not only for the schmooze, but if you get lucky and persist, you might even come away with some art.
