Let's Go See Some Art

Hey, the Asian Art Museum's Three Gorges Project, that we mentioned to you last week is having a reception for the artist, Liu Xiaodong, tomorrow night from 6-8 p.m. The event is free with museum admission, which is only $5 after 5 p.m. Art is fun, but there's really no party like an art party, is there?

Artists' Television Access (992 Valencia Street)
Left In The Dark
April 5-30

Left in the Dark is a photographic series that explores the rich cultural history of film exhibition in San Francisco. The photographs are taken with 35mm and medium format cameras and both black and white as well as color film stocks are used. This body of work reveals a contemporary portrait of today’s movie theatres. The theatres are shown empty, allowing the grandeur of the architecture to take center stage. These independent, single screen theatres, struggle to survive with the growing demand for strip mall multiplexes and home theatres. Left in the Dark documents the importance of exhibition, small businesses, theatre architecture and culture in San Francisco as well as other cities and small towns around the United States.
