Ar+space, 1286 Folsom, is featuring 4 artists in 4 weeks in their show, 4 x 4. We were just in time to see Beryl Fine's candid shots of everyday diversity; her street cred must be very strong. Fine seems to have that Arbus "you can trust me" feel as her strong work reveals much about each subject.
Aaron Hegert will open this Sat, March 3, 7 pm until late. Hegert's photos have a painterly feel; his composition is powerful and his production technique is gorgeous. If you love photography, do not miss Aaron Hegert's show.
For Gallery hours call: Michael Morehouse at 621.4438

Marina Cain and Kit Schulte have taken over the Michael Martin Galleries and promise to keep the doors open. This beautiful space has suffered in the past from a bit of neglect. This will no longer be the case as Marina and Kit are committed to the Bay Area's art scene.
Opening March 8:
Why E? New Chapters by Justin Quinn and Tara Thacker - Sculptures
Quinn places himself in the role of Ahab who continually redraws his charts which travel nowhere and only to go into themselves The pieces, a combination of graphite drawings on hemp and dry point intaglio prints repeatedly explore chapter 44 of Moby Dick.
Justin Quinn
Chapter 44 or 4349
Tara Thacker’s works in porcelain are abstractions, referencing the natural world. Repetitive labor is central to her process. The works begin with a single element that, once multiplied and combined, reveals new, unexpected possibilities.

Until March 10: Mary Snowden, It's a Matter of Time
If you need a fix of expertly rendered, beautifully layered, and politically charged work stop by Braunstein/Quay Gallery at 430 Clementina.
Snowden, a Bay Area artist and teacher for 40 odd years, has taken imagery from a grafittied van, "The Party Professionals" to create an elaborate tableau of parties for those on the margins of society orchestrated by Orphan Annie. Each piece is chalk full of images and innuendo.
