PrettyPretty Collective : TEENHAGER - New works from Teen Witch aka Andrea Sonnenberg and Justin Hager.
Comment by AB: Justin Hager lays it on heavy-- pop culture satire drenched in double entendre. Also on the docket is a range of photographs, from rural to urban, from population to desolation, all by Teen Witch aka Andrea Sonnenberg.

Luna Rienne Gallery : Reflection/Refraction - Kelly Ording.
Comment by AB: Impressive geometrics by Kelly Ording are drawn entirely by hand on paper that Ording "ages" herself. These are so perfectly precise, I have to lay a rare and highly coveted "How Do Dey Do Dat?" award on every last one of 'em. Go see.

Gauntlet Gallery : AU9USTO.
Artists: Bennett Slater, Cheyenne Randall, Ian Reynold, Justin Hopkins, Rebecca Adams, Sam Lamott, Vincent Cacciotti, Wednesday Kirwan, William Arvin.
Review by RWM: Fun to see tattoos that never existed by Cheyenne Randall. Famous personages here act as canvases for the imagination in this re-look at history. A great show that has us thinking about our bodies as substrate for ideas and beliefs. Tattoo artists unite. Fantastic art for those seeking out the unusual.
Comment by AB: Figure painting, photography and digital manipulations by nine emerging artists, plus a kinetic sculpture by Sam Lamott.

Mirus Gallery : Mark Schoening - Bits & Bytes.
Review by RWM: Great psychedelics. Interesting movement caught in art. Close inspection of the invisible. One might only be able to see such details with a microscope. Magic happening beyond the realm of our sight, but some of it is captured here. Hybrid show of Art and Technology. Most art and technology types can still get along.
Comment by AB: Los Angeles artist Mark Schoening's repetitive pattern compositions look like hyper-magnifications of computer generated graphics. They appear to be varying combinations of stencil and airbrush, and possibly screen printing as well. Nicely done and worth a visit.
