SFMOMA Artists Gallery: 18th Annual Artists Warehouse Sale.

Artists: Loads.

Comment by AB: Never let it be said that San Franciscans don't love a bargain, as this opening night cattle call free-for-all attests. SFMOMA Artists Gallery's annual sale of up to 75% off regular prices has hundreds of frantic buyers practically ransacking the joint for those perfect works of art. Helmets and padding advised. Fortunately, there's more than enough art to meet the demand-- not only tonight, but through the entire weekend. And they bring out fresh new art all the time, so no need to fret about only getting leftovers. This year's event is over, but make sure to get on their mailing list for all upcoming shows and sales.

Andrea Schwartz Gallery: Glue - Mary Ijichi, Barbara Kronlins, Gary Nisbet and Kaori Takamura.

Review by RWM: Interesting variety of work, some of which excels in small details. Fascinating collages by Barbara Kronlins startle with all of their associations. Here is modern life as told through shards of advertising, pornography, newspaper clippings and more. You can't help but be dazzled by all the associations evoked. What a strange view of the world is presented.
