August is here, traditionally the slowest month in the art world, and while things are slow, there are still some interesting events to be seen. One highlight is a performance titled "The Art of Yes!" at Human Resources and limited to 15 participants each night on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Saturday night, Mr. Fish at Robert Berman in Santa Monica looks interesting, as does a group show at ANN 330 in West Hollywood.

(Also this week are "First Thursday" events in San Pedro, Laguna Beach, and Santa Barbara.)

Have a great week ahead!
