Patricia Sweetow Gallery: Robert Hudson and Cornelia Schulz.

Comment by AB: Solidly constructed assemblage sculptures by Robert Hudson, and sumptuous impasto abstracts on oddly shaped wooden forms (along with several crisp small collages) by Cornelia Schulz. For you genealogists in the audience, the two artists were married for a number of years. Good show all the way around; check it out.

Marx & Zavattero: Patrick Wilson - Slow Motion Action Painting.

Comment by AB: If you like your art accurate, you'll have difficulty finding anything that trumps the precision of this. Perfection in paint? Patrick Wilson's geometric ecstasies come pretty close. Stop on by.

Steven Wolf Fine Arts: Tami Demaree - Project Rainbow; Theresa Ganz - As If the Earth Were Air.

Comment by AB: In the front gallery, Tami Demaree fabricates an entertaining hallucinatory installation based on an incident called the Philadelphia Experiment in which the US military supposedly attempted to render a battleship invisible, but screwed up royally... or so the legend goes. Can you immortalize conjecture? Demaree's endeavor would indicate yes, and I'm inclined to agree. In the rear gallery, lose yourself in labyrinthine mixed-media tree branch abstractions by Theresa Ganz. Worth a visit on both counts.

Gallery Hijinks: Instill - Yellena James.

Comment by AB: Intricate paintings and works on paper by Yellena James seem like deep sea coral bed reveries.

Galeria de la Raza: Searching for Queertopia Alexander Hernandez and Neil Rivas.

Comment by AB: In this engaging fashion and documentary overlap, Alexander Hernandez and Neil Rivas explore Vela de 'Las Intrépidas,' a 3-day event held annually in the town of Juchitán de Zaragoza, Oaxaca, México, in honor of its Muxe (Zapotec terminology equivalent to Queer) community, their take on the event presented from a perspective of transgender emphasis.
