A good looking week ahead especially in the art talk department with 4 lectures tonight alone. A smattering of art openings, some good bets on Friday include Krowswork, Fouladi Projects, Romer Young, and The Lab (if you like bikes and art).

Southern Exposure, one of the best non-profit art spaces in San Francisco, hosts their annual benefit auction on Saturday. A great way to land hot new art while supporting their innovative programming for the future.
