The Performance and Public Art Festival continues this week, in connection with Pacific Standard Time. Tonight at the Black Box, a temporary performance space and bar curated by Liz Glynn, witness happenings from Paul Waddell, The Sunday Scag, and Margie Schnibbe.

In case you didn't get a chance to visit many galleries last weekend due to art fairs and other of life's circumstances, Matthew Marks Gallery recently opened a new space on Orange Grove, with a refreshing solo exhibition from Ellsworth Kelly. 

This Thursday See Line Gallery presents Framed for Life, an installation by Leslie Moon made up of "erotic combination of material game pieces and linguistic signs" forming a visually incomplete playing field. (!!!)
