Project One Gallery: Microblast - Jet Martinez and Kelly Ording.
Comment by AB: Two distinct styles of art, the unifying factor being the labor intensive essence of it all. Electric creatures against patterned black backgrounds by Jet Martinez are offset by precise patterns on antiqued papers by Kelly Ording. For those of you keeping score at home, Ording and Martinez are also the proud parents of two young children.

Will Brown: Putt Sounds and Sliders.
Comment by AB: Nine miniature golf holes, each homaging a famous earthwork by the likes of Christo, Robert Smithson and Ant Farm, are being played and ultimately auctioned to the highest bidders. Bidding is animated as final selling prices range from $4 to just over $20 per hole in what will surely go down in history as an unparalleled high point in affordable art. Sorry, skinflint collectors; better luck next time. The verdict on the overall dealie bob? Like it.

Merchants of Reality: Mike Torchia - Exceptionally Abstracted.
Comment by AB: Mike Torchia arts up the walls with a little bit of everything. A pair of giant pencils are available for aspiring artists to contribute to the cause.
