Friday's Openings

Below are openings I am definitely going to catch tomorrow night.

I also hear there is a evening to morning opening party for Pete Doolittle's installations somewhere in SOMA. I'll keep you abreast on details as I figure it out.

Adam was in a group show at Shooting Gallery, parent gallery to Gallery 3, this past fall. I like his use of color and fairy tale/ medieval scenes.



Artist: Karin Smith

"A garden is a sign of purpose and a sense of place--no one plants one with the intention of leaving it. With this insight as her point of departure, Smith reconsiders the image of the People's Temple as a death cult, whose members were merely helpless victims of the church's leader. Instead she presents this predominantly African American institution as a product of longstanding racial inequalities in the United States, which worked to redress the legacy and persistent trauma of slavery."(from their site)
