Jessica Silverman Gallery: Sean Raspet - Residuals.

Comment by AB: Sean Raspet converts the gallery into a conceptual manufactory of sorts complete with an operational air filter, canisters of gas, oil distillations, various meters and measuring devices, and a scratch-and-sniff coating sprayed on the gallery's surfaces which (according to the crib sheet) is a chemical reconstitution based on an analysis of the gallery's air. So in other words, whether you scratch and sniff or not, you're smelling the exact same smell. Tricky.

The Great Highway Gallery: Like Water - Matt Stanton Beard, Alex Petrovitch, Alexander Schaffer Czech.

Review by RWM: Wonderful psychedelic waves and Tikis. Great ocean and surfing community here. Good fun to be had and beauty to be encountered. Fun to get caught up in the waves.
