    Varnish Fine Art: Dan Quintana - Zero Instruments.

    Review by RWM: Great narratives. Scary stories. Ghosts and spooks and things that may have happened in this strange and confounding world.

    Comment by AB: Accomplished magical realist paintings and charcoal drawings by Los Angeles artist Dan Quintana are certain to impress. And I'm not the only one; plenty of red dots on the walls.

    Alter Space: What the Mouth Sees.

    Artists: Trenton Doyle Hancock, Jennifer Poon, Shiri Mordechay, Heiko Müller, Maja Ruznic, Heather Wilcoxon, Robert Donald, Joshua Hagler, Kim Weinberg Kei. Curated by Joshua Hagler.

    Review by RWM: Easy to think of the way of all flesh with these skin-tone colors and odd conglomerations. Very immediate and memorable. Interesting body parts and effluence. The work reminds us that we are flesh and bone most of the time.

    31 Rausch Street: The End is Near!

    Comment by AB: The last 31 Rausch Street art show/party ever-- after 22 years. Head resident Chris McCaw is off to Pacifica and the famed flat shall be no more. Photographs of past events line the hallway walls, free for the taking, memorialize gatherings not soon to be forgotten.
