Altman Siegel Gallery: Sara VanDerBeek - Of Ruins and Light.

Comment by AB: According to the liner notes, many of Sara VanDerBeek's contemplative grey scale images were shot on location in Detroit, California, New Orleans and Baltimore. Hard to imagine exactly where these locations are or what they might look like in real life, but that's all part of the mystery and seduction of this show.

Fecalface Dot Gallery: Jay Howell - Pure Pink.

Comment by AB: Jay Howell has left blustery Ess Eff for the glamour, stardom and freeways of LA, but he'll still wend his way North for rapscallion antics and to display his latest creations.

BellJar: Justin Waugh - Four Paintings.

Review by RWM: Minimalist in conception and execution, but colorfully pleasing nonetheless. A little can sometimes say a lot.

Southern Exposure: West of Wonder Wheel - Samara Halperin. Curated by Daniel Nevers.

Review by Anneliese Vobis: Music, food, a mini midway, amusement park reflections in the form of vintage film footage projected onto the walls, and much much more transport you in this darkened space to the wildest fantasies of Pinocchio. All your senses are constantly challenged; there is no escape!

Review by RWM: Fun to visit the amusement park again. Experience a past that is remembered emotionally in this cacophony of sounds and images. The vicarious experiences referenced are pleasant and joyous. One can go back, if only for a short time.

Live Worms Gallery: Michael Tompert - A Digital Fine Art Exhibition.

Comment by AB: Michael Tompert purchases brand new Apple products like iPhones, iPods, MacBooks and iPads, and then slices them, hammers them, shoots them, and even lets trains run over them. He then photographs the results/remains and presents them here four our viewing enjoyment.
