    Highlight Gallery: Marine Hugonnier & Taha Belal - Disrupt. Curated by Kelly Huang.

    Review by RWM: Tough questions posed to the journalists in the audience for this one. What is journalism like without photographs these days? What if they all said no to the editors? There would be print anyway, even if without the shiny colors and photographs at this exhibit to match it. Would words alone suffice? Probably not, or not in all cases. The power of the press may be at stake for the aesthete who has heard it all. The work here is compelling leaving one spellbound with intrigue and questions.

    Comment by AB: Yesterday's news is today's art.

    Jessica Silverman Gallery: Barbara Kasten - Behind the Curtain.

    Comment by AB: Select survey of 30 years of abstract geometric work by Barbara Kasten includes color Polaroids from 1980s, pigment prints from the 2000s, and a new video installation titled Glass Curtain in which glistening snippets of high rise structures are projected, reflected and skewed along a gallery wall.

    THIS Gallery at RVCA: Gold Ghostin' - Mike Bertino and Danny Gibson, curated by Justin Van Hoy; New window installation by Nicolas Torres.

    Comment by AB: Two artists reflect on growing up in California, alternating their coarse editorial assessments with peppy contemporary riffs on traditional Indigenous American motifs, the whole shebang with a decidedly Southland slant.
