Sandra Lee Gallery: Holly Blake and Jeremy Morgan.

Comment by AB: Two distinct perspectives on conceptualizing alternate realities. Holly Blake positions the viewer as suspended in some indeterminate expanse, watching ostensibly unrelated objects as they float by in space. Jeremy Morgan, meanwhile, seems more deliberate in his demarcations between cosmos and continent.

Mirus Gallery: Crucible - Collaborative Works by Damon Soule, David Choong Lee, Mars-1, NoMe Edonna and Oliver Vernon.

Review by RWM: Wild. Freeform. Collaborative works still in motion. Grab onto something before you do fall into these paintings which display a life of their own. Cool but disconcerting for those who are looking for connections been the disparate parts. Fervent.

Comment by AB: The "Convergence" and "Further" artists are at it again, inviting us to bask in their dynamic utopian wonderlands, visions so uplifting and sumptuous, you just want to dive right in (for those of you playing the home version, "Convergence" and "Further" are the two books that survey the collaborative works of these five artists). The future doesn't always have to be apocalyptic, foreboding, violent and degenerate, does it? Lord knows we have way more than enough art about that. Positivity and potentiality beat gloom & doom any day of the week-- as they certainly do here. So come on down, leave life's travails at the door and glimpse the promised land. Well worth a visit.

Marx & Zavattero: Matt Gil Home Studio Open House.

Comment by AB: Courtesy of Marx & Zavattero, sculptor Matt Gil and his lovely wife invite us into their home/studio/garden for an intimate afternoon and evening of art and conversation highlighted by Gil's kicky little interlude of Sousaphone riffs.

Adobe Books Backroom Gallery: Shalo P (aka Shalo Eduardo) - Valley. Curated by Daniella Fernandez Murphy.

Review by RWM: Nice to see the fun of encounters between people, here told with humor, pain and aplomb. Wild and wooley with cartoons to boot. "It was wild and crazy man." Words alone just don't just capture it even if one was allowed to use them. Not quite epic, but comic.

Comment by AB: Comic art of an dissident ilk, a tumultuous onslaught of adventures. Also on the docket are equally distinct digital images. Not your basic art show; check it out.
