301 Bocana Gallery : Childish Things.
Artists: Andrea Antonaccio, Bryan Barasch, Scott Barry, Ray and Lila Beldner, Veronica de Jesus, Catherine Epstein, Jonathan Evans, Heather Feeney, Walter Hall, Tanya Hastings Gill, Lindsay Jessee, Lisa Kokin, Kelly Kozak, Eric Larson, Yuki Maruyama, Sean MacDonald, Brion Nuda Rosch & Ifton Schlinger, Kerry Olin, Sean Olson, James Orlando and Julia Cohen, Jose Picayo, Kelly Reiling and Allyssandra Ulinskas, Walter Robinson, Gary Shallcross, Marsha Shaw, Inez Storer, Rebecca Szeto, Jo-ey Tang, Michele Theberge, Anna Vaughn, Judd Vetrone, Annaliese Vobis, Heather Wilcoxon, Yoram Wolberger.
Comment: 35 artists sardine themselves into what surely ranks as one of the largest group shows in one of the smallest spaces ever in the history of art. The gallery's 200 square feet, if that-- you do the math. Tonight's big squeeze is accompanied by a selection of vintage tunes courtesy of delightfully droll Jackie Jones (415.648.0117) who makes all her own instruments and whose repertoire includes a tap dancing cat.

Little Tree Gallery : Chris Gibbons and Karen Ruenitz - What Are You Made Of?
Comment: Karen Ruenitz commendable graphite drawings on one side of the gallery show just the clothes without the wearer. On the opposite side, Chirs Gibbons photographs telephone poles close up that are layered with the remains of handbills, fliers, and announcements.

The Shooting Gallery : Shag - The Merchant of Menace.
Comment: Shag, the king of rejuvinated Jetsonian kitsch, transports his trademark hark back art from balmy Southern California way up north to the chillywilly wilds of San Francisco, tonight's exciting episode rife with Shakespearian reference. Holy smokes Deputy Dawg -- the show's practically sold out!

White Walls Gallery : Sylvia Ji.
Comment: Sylvia Ji augments her typically sensual sultry perspective on aloof alluring vixens to encompass a set of macabre tattooed pistillate visages.

Space Gallery : Stencil Space.
Comment: Space Gallery and PUMA present a meandering ramble of a group show, purportedly themed on stencilling, but onstensibly otherwise.
