San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery : Visible Horizons - Andrew Chapman, Chris Duncan, Rhonda Holberton; The Air & Space Museum - Randy Colosky.
Comment by AB: Three conceptual perspectives on the idea of horizon. Chris Duncan's clean planar installation doubles as a playable string instrument, Rhonda Holberton's camera obscura doubles as a walk-in sculpture, and as soon as I figure out Andrew Chapman's mixed media melange, I'll let you know. Good art on all counts; check it out.
At the 155 Grove Street space, Randy Colosky investigates the aesthetic aspects of indoor growing systems with a self-sustaining installation that will grow sunflowers over the next several months. Stop on by and monitor the progress.

Gallery 16 : Charles Linder - New Sculpture.
Comment by AB: Experience the creative elan of Charles Linder in its full glory here. Diversions include a hanging tractor tire light, chromed containers once used for target practice now transformed into lighting, a standing pig lamp, corroded car hoods also once used for target practice, a hanging antler assemblage, a towering chandelier comprised entirely of antique and vintage chairs, and quite a bit more. Like it! Go see.

Needles & Pens : Brigid Dawson - Dedicated to Dear Earholes.
Comment by AB: Paintings by Brigid Dawson, mainly on tambourines and hand-held percussion instruments, are based on childhood, family history and memorable moments in life.
