Braunstein/Quay Gallery: Peter d'Agostino, 1970s-2010s (Selected Works) - Farewell Group Exhibition.

Comment by AB: Forty years of video and photography works and installations by Peter d'Agostino recount his progression from performance and documentation through projects involving the web. The remainder of the space is hung salon style, dense with works by gallery artists. After half a century in business, the Braunstein/Quay is about to close-- one more solo show to go. Whether you want to pay homage or get a great deal, plenty of art will surely change hands between now and the end.

California Institute of Integral Studies: Megan M. Morgan - Anthromorphosis.

Review by RWM: Great show about making adjustments. One can sense here the pain of compromise. Some need to put on disguises everyday, facades that are not outlandish, but necessary. Conformity here shows its discontent.

Inclusions Gallery: WAX - Jenny Phillips and Larraine Seiden.

Comment by AB: Adventures in encaustic-- plenty of 'em and reasonably priced.
