Ian Ross Gallery: Eddie Colla - Atavisms.

Comment by AB: Eddie Colla expands his repertoire to include multimedia works with light and sound. With the way things are going in the world today, you get the unsettling impression that Colla's vision of the future, as unpleasant as it may be to contemplate, is likely more accurate than not.

The American Institute of Architects (AIA), San Francisco / Center for Architecture + Design Gallery: Home, My San Francisco - Julie Sadowski. Curated by Julie Blankenship.

Review by RWM: Home is where the heart is; a fascinating rumination on buildings. Much thought has gone into designing and creating these unusual structures. Though each one is neat in its own way, one notices the emptiness of the larger spaces.

Comment by AB: Architecture, interiors and lifestyles are presented together in this engaging documentary essay on how various San Franciscans live.

Mission Comics & Art Gallery: Aidan Koch - Mood Board.

Comment by AB: A meandering statement-less installation incorporates a variety of mediums. Interspersed with works that fit conventional definitions of art, the totality requires viewers to make sense of it all themselves. Perhaps this represents a stage along the way. Or maybe it's try a little of this and a little of that, see what sticks and eventually make a go of it. Or maybe not. You decide.
