Anthony Meier Fine Arts : Tam Van Tran - Survival Skills.
Comment by AB: The art references Los Angeles artist Tam Van Tran's journey by sea from Vietnam to the United States when he was nine. His bold expressive autobiographical abstractions are combinations of paint, rips, collage, holes and sculptural elements. Recommended viewing.

RayKo Photo Center : Circus, A Traveling Life - Norma Quintana; Home Away from Home - Najib Joe Hakim.
Comment by AB: Norma Quintana documents artists, aerialists and performers who make their livings traveling with an American one-ring circus while Najib Joe Hakim attempts to bridge the culture chasm with his portraits and bios of Bay Area Palestian-Americans. For those of you keeping score at home, the second largest community of Palestinians in the United States is right here in the SF Bay Area.

Et al. Gallery : Hard Weather - Carson Fisk-Vittori & Anna Sagström.
Comment by AB: Oakland artist Carson Fisk-Vittori and Berlin artist Anna Sagström join forces to present an adventure in innovative sculpture. We've got champagne on the floor, vacuum packed plant life, commercial foam, and more. Those of you with contemplative bents and expansive attitudes about art will likely find solace here.
