An embarrassment of riches this week, starting with Karen Kilmnik at the Mills College Museum on Wednesday, continuing through the group show Temporary Structures at SFAI on Friday, Chris Fraser's first solo show Eidolons at Highlight Gallery and Claire Bishop speaking about her book Artificial Hells at the Kadist on Saturday. These, along with the shows we missed from last week, will make for a busy week of looking. 

Here's something new: we (Jackie Im and me, Aaron Harbour) will be live tweeting tomorrow from the press preview of Six Lines of Flight at SFMOMA, a group show of artists from what it is describing as six burgeoning art centers around the world. What does this mean for you? We're not sure. You can follow us at https://twitter.com/artcards_sf. We'll try to keep it lively, and I will write a more 'traditional' review later tomorrow at Curiously Direct.

Wednesday:

+ Screening: Clemens Von Wedemeyer "Muster (Rushes, 2011-2012)" at Kadist Art Foundation
