Whatever you do this week, do not stay home! It's First Thursday, so visit the usual suspects around SF downtown. Do not miss a solo exhibit of Lee Friedlander:  "How I Got from There to Here in 100 Pictures or Less" at Fraenkel Gallery.

If you missed Thursday you can do a make up on Friday at the Oakland Art Murmur. Make sure you stop by 21 Grand Gallery to see "Ruptures", an exhibit showcasing work by Ashley Harris, Dan Grayber, Jeremy Newman, Marya Krogstad and Yael Zaken. And with any room left, Togonon Gallery is showing new work by Jack Fulton.

Saturday stop by the new show at Important Projects.
