Gallery Hijinks : New Works by Randy Colosky; Backroom Group Show.
Artists in the backroom: Kristina Lewis, Helen Lee, Andy Vogt, Alison O.K. Frost, Jesse Houlding, Ajit Chauhan, Clare Sydalowski, Amanda Hughen, and Phil Mcgaughy.
Comment by Clare Coppel: Ink on paper works in abstract patterns and trippy colors suspended in space.
Review by Mairead O'Connor: What does meditation look like? Colosky's works are both a product of a meditative process and an experience of it for the viewer. These works are very soothing and simple. They make time stop.
Comment by AB: In the rear gallery, Randy Colosky curates a group show of promising Oakland artists.

Eleanor Harwood Gallery : Niall McClelland - One Tune Outta Turn.
Review by Clare Coppel: Mixed media pieces by Niall Mclelland, subtle tones in paint including broken glass resulting from their construction.
Comment by AB: The art of Niall Mclelland in large part stands as documentary records of events. For example, he smashes florescent bulbs on canvas and then spray paints over the results, thereby illustrating the final positions of the numerous shards of glass. Or he folds up oversized solid black photocopies and carries them around in his back pants pockets for weeks, rendering them into artistic travelogues of sorts. Worth a visit.

Galeria de la Raza : Traded Moons - Geri Montano.
Comment by AB: Mixed media artworks by Geri Montano, expressions of her Native American heritage, comment specifically on sex trafficking of indigenous women and also on ideas of hope, power, pain, promise and freedom as embodied in femininity. Good show; check it out.
