    Eli Ridgway Gallery: No Touch - Jacqueline Kiyomi Gordon.

    Comment by AB: The gallery looks impressive at first glance with precise large-scale geometric bas reliefs lining the walls, but wait. The bulk of the exhibition turns out to be little more than neatly cut and framed panels of acoustic foam, several with insets. The remaining artworks are comprised of various acoustic and soundproofing materials as well. Those that incorporate actual sound emanating from strategically positioned speakers are worth noting, but overall, if you've ever been in a soundproof room or professional recording studio, then what we have here becomes pretty much of a been-there-done-that with a modest artistic twist.

    Ever Gold Gallery: Tyson Vogel - The Looming Symphonies: Your Streets Are My Song.

    Comment by AB: Tyson Vogel transforms the gallery into a comfortable intimate living room installation, dense with art, where visitors are welcome to take a seat and have a listen. "To what?" you ask. Over the past month, Vogel has composed a "symphony" consisting entirely of sounds from The Tenderloin. Nicely done and certainly worth a visit.

    Book & Job Gallery: Hero Complex - Josh Nemec.

    Comment by AB: Detailed ink drawings and works on paper by Josh Nemec offer up various perspectives on heroes and heroism. Upstairs, enjoy a wall of polaroids and a show of vintage insect anatomy charts likely once used for educational purposes.
