WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4

PHOTOGRAPHY OPENING: Good news — Oracle World has left SoMa, so it's safe to venture down Third Street again. And just in time, too, as it's the opening reception for "You’ll Find It Where It Is, Photographs and installation by Sonja Thomsen," at the wonderful RayKo Photo Center. Site-specific in nature, Thomsen "is using this show as an opportunity to pull and tease out one part of the larger Glowing Wavelengths In Between exhibition that was featured at the DePaul Art Museum in Chicago earlier this year. Glowing Wavelengths in Between is, in the artist’s words, 'a rumination on the very physicality of seeing.' In the words of Gregory Harris, curator at the DPAM, 'Sonja Thomsen’s photographs and installations create a tangible means to experience the ephemeral qualities of light, recalibrating our perceptions of the visible world.' RayKo Photo Center, 428 Third Street, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Free

DIRTY DANCING: It's the last party of the season for ‘dirtybird,’ a label that's "been dropping basslines and creating smiles on the dance-floor since January 2005.

The bird logo came from a drawing Barclay Crenshaw (aka Claude VonStroke) used to draw when he was a kid to make his little brother laugh in church. Since creating the label, VonStroke has A&R’d some of the most influential house music producers in the world. A short list includes Justin Martin, Catz ‘n Dogz, Julio Bashmore, Riva Starr, Breach, Shiba San, Eats Everything, J Phlip, Killfrenzy, and many many more - most of whom had their very first records and even created their artist names on dirtybird.
