California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS): The World of the Gods - Tradition and Modernity in Contemporary South Asia.

Review by RWM: The artists bring a sense of timelessness and relevance to Asian myths that still inspire some cultures. You can't help but wonder what the tales expressed in these artworks are, but not to worry-- writing accompanying the each piece gives explains everything. The past is not forgotten by the artists who create in a variety of forms. Traditional beliefs find relevance here and the mediums presented still harken back to the past.

Arc Studios & Gallery: A Visual Memoir by Joie Rey Cohen.

Comment by AB: This heartfelt and revealing autobiographical installation Joie Rey Cohen autobiographical touches not only on deep personal feelings and emotions, but also on politics, religion, gender, sexuality and more. It is rare to get such an all-embracing a sense of another human being.

31 Rausch Gallery: Alex Dangles - A Selection of Small Works. Curated by Debashish Banerji.

Review by RWM: Amazing detail and uniqueness of style. You likely haven't seen anything quite like this before. Celebrate its oddness and at the same time, endeavor to honor the elderly. Here is a nice place to see art and share in discussions with those assembled.
