    Center for Sex and Culture: Archive Show.

    Review by Clare Coppel: At Center For Sex and Culture, view many items of social and historical significance, particularly related to San Francisco. Dr. Robert Morgan Lawrence and Marlene Hoebar (Director of Collections) give us a museum-worthy tour of the show, hands down the most educational experiance I have ever had at an art opening. Really great to see people care about the cultural value of sex and art.

    Comment by AB: Treasures include an early Hookers Ball poster, a vintage board game called Gay Strip-Down, porn film posters, and quite a bit more. Erotica for scholars. Check it out.

    Lake Gallery: David Benzler with Randy Lee Sutherland and Jonathan Runcio.

    Comment by AB: Precision abstraction is what it's all about here. Paintings c/o David Benzler (he doesn't show often, but when he does... worth it), equally proficient screenprints by Jonathan Runcio, and collages by Randy Lee Sutherland. Good art; go see.
