Welcome to September! There's plenty of art to see this week, starting with Grey Goo, a group exhibition at Night Gallery on Tuesday. On Saturday, head out early to save time for a leisurely stroll down La Cienega Blvd in Culver City. Catch the exhibitions at Blum and Poe, Cherry and Martin, China Art Objects, Las Cienegas Projects, and Francois Ghebaly Gallery, among many others. Be sure to attend some of the exhibitions in connection with Pacific Standard Time, a collaboration of more than 60 cultural institutions across Southern California, honoring the birth of the L.A. art scene. Hope to see you out and about.
