Bash Contemporary: Rough & Ready Sideshow - Ransom & Mitchell, Alexandra Manukyan, Stefanie Vega, Aunia Kahn.

Comment by RWM: Incredible. Fantastic. Gothic. Spooky. Wonderful dark achievements.

Review by RWM: Cool stuff from all sorts of artists and created in all sorts of ways. Interesting ferment with sophisticated flair. Nice show from all to one and one to all. Something here for probably everyone. Good to get a first peek at a show that defies categorization.

Comment by AB: An impressive selection of work by over 100 artists, from emerging to established, is up for bids at Root Division's annual fundraiser auction.

White Walls & The Shooting Gallery: TORNANDO - Teo Pirisi aka Moneyless; Adam Lister - Wet Geometry; Motivational Therapy - Remi Rough; The Topography of Time - Steve More & Martini Merlini.

Comment by AB: Four unique perspectives on line, shape, form, precision, and geometries and geometrics in art.

Book & Job Gallery: Hot Fudge.

Comment by AB: Japanese artist dyad Hot Fudge is infatuated with California, and San Francisco in particular. As a testament to the depth of their long distance love, they trundle 300 California-centric works of art across the Pacific so that we can celebrate them here. Take your pick of paintings, screenprints, drawings, repurposed record albums and more, all eminently affordable.
