Another busy week in the bay, with events every day (including today) worth checking out. 

CCA will be on a bit of a roll, with a rare chance to see Peter Fischli tonight, a lecture by David Reinfurt tomorrow, and the opening of two new shows at the CCA Wattis Institute on Thursday. 

Friday there are openings at SF Arts Commission's Grove st. window space, Jessica Silverman, and in Oakland 'Trapper Keeper', the second show at City Limits with new work by Jane Kim, Lana Williams, Mia Christopher and Mie Hørlyk Mogrensen. 

Saturday, also in Oakland, another pair of exciting exhibitions at Important Projects will open... and if you do manage to do something Tuesday through Saturday, well, feel free to take Sunday off. Our treat.
