San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery: Visible Horizons - Andrew Chapman, Chris Duncan, Rhonda Holberton; The Air & Space Museum - Randy Colosky.

Comment by AB: Three conceptual perspectives on the idea of horizon. Chris Duncan's clean planar installation doubles as a playable string instrument, Rhonda Holberton's camera obscura doubles as a walk-in sculpture, and as soon as I figure out Andrew Chapman's mixed media melange, I'll let you know. Good art on all counts; check it out.

At the 155 Grove Street space, Randy Colosky investigates the aesthetic aspects of indoor growing systems with a self-sustaining installation that will grow sunflowers over the next several months. Stop on by and monitor the progress.

Gallery 16: Charles Linder - New Sculpture.

Comment by AB: Experience the creative elan of Charles Linder in its full glory here. Diversions include a hanging tractor tire light, chromed containers once used for target practice now transformed into lighting, a standing pig lamp, corroded car hoods also once used for target practice, a hanging antler assemblage, a towering chandelier comprised entirely of antique and vintage chairs, and quite a bit more. Like it! Go see.
