Its been a good month, with interesting shows opening at various points and overlapping in such a away to make the gallery scene in general exciting on a weekly basis. While out looking quite a bit, we’ve here at Art Cards managed to miss a good amount of openings around town and have some catching up to do.

Things we will be making our way to see this week in SF:
(It is exciting how spread out these spaces are)

Gwenaël Rattke New Work at Romer Young
Chris Fraser Eidolons at Highlight
Bryson Gill Blown Out at Mollusk Surf Shop
Jason Kraus Edits at Jessica Silverman


Curiously Direct Pick

Mentioned last week, Amy Ho’s 2x2 solo is a must see; it closes October 6th. At Pro Arts, 150 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza, Oakland. Of note there are two reviews of the show in the latest issue of Art Practical

And, (a shameless plug), the show at MacArthur B Arthur currently, In Stasis, featuring work by Johanna Billing, Liam Everett, Roza Janiszewska, Bob Linder, Anna Sagström, and Joseph Thomas. We are very proud of this exhibition.
