Heist gallery now open in the tendernob
On my way home tonight I ran into a packed opening at gallery Heist. The guy who ran it said they have been open since November. Best of luck to them. Artsfarts will keep an eye on you.
Luc Tuymans, Gas Chamber
I forgot to mention that Luc Tuymans will be having a retrospection at the SF MoMA and is giving a talk tonight. I was tardy in purchasing tickets so I missed the boat and therefore didn’t think to include the event in my previous list. Sadly tickets are sold out. Boo.
Another Event Thurs Feb 4th, Nancy Spoelhof at the Candystore Collective.
I love this woman’s collages. This image in particular reminds me of a stuffed bear with its face ripped off. Candystore is one of the many bougie stores in the Mission, but I love their clothes and they have a great little gallery space in back. Plus they have a Woolly Pocket installation above their store front that makes me twitch with interior design envy. Me wants one.
Upcoming shows this week
Another month, another barrage of openings. With so many choices the question is: do you spend time going out to galleries or do you stay at home to watch back episodes of Lost trying to figure out what the f- is going on? In case you are leaning towards Lost, here is a list of shows that might make you want to leave the house.
Thursday Feb 4th
First Thursdays at 49 Geary
Annie Vought : Between the Lines @ CIIS Minna Street Center 5:30 - 8pm
Snakes in the Grass @ Evergold Gallery 6 - 9pm
