The rest of the fruit from our Geary trippin'. Overall, the San Francisco gallery scene tends to have less crap than the New York Chelsea scene. Both Claud and I walked away rather happy with some of the stuff we saw. A lot of it was very painting heavy (which is nice for us painters), I guess this is partly due to the fact that it was dealer galleries that resided in the building.
My favourite show would have to have been the one where the curator brought together four very different artists from Shanghai that all were interested in the growing nature of both east/west in the city and the effects of urban culture and those living there etc.
I also enjoyed the exhibition of a group of drawings done by an artist when he was four years old. Light and simple. We like.
One thing we didn't like was the people working in the galleries. Cranky is the best adjective to be using...inner city pressure anyone?
Cruising through Chinatown on our bikes, we stopped briefly to take a picture in front of some random sculptures (I think they were for sale in this strange antique show). Enjoy.
