Femina Potens: Plastics - One Woman Art Show By Midori.

Comment by AB: Standouts here include a couch made out of roped together blow-up dolls, sea shells equipped with headphones and stuffed with "silicone vaginal form masturbation sleeves" and more. It's, social commentary, sexual politics and good old fashioned fun all rolled up into one uncommonly carnal caper.

Push Studio: WOODRICH - Eric Bailey.

Comment by AB: Eric Bailey tells me his art embodies his diverse upbringing and life experiences which have taken him from Big Sur to San Francisco to Los Angeles where he currently resides. Nature and the environment vs materialism and human encroachment-- that's how he puts it, and that's pretty much where the battle lines have been drawn. Priced $125-$8500. Something for everyone.
