You may have remembered that Dennis' traveling show made a stop @ FFDG this past August ( photos) and down to LA @Thinkspace right after ( photos). If you're in Philly and can't make Friday's opening, you'll be happy to know that the show will be running throughout October... not a quick stop like the two previous... A preview of Friday's show.

:: Art Heist in Pebble Beach ::
There's something intriguing about art heists, emailed Bloom Press when they forwarded over this link... We feel the same way. A Pebble Beach $27 million dollar art heist has some intrigue... Sounds like a pulp novel. Small town detectives. Couple with radically different age gap (31 & 62). Wealthy Pebble Beach. Rembrandt, Jackson Pollock, G.H. Rothe, Joan Miro and Renoir... more press. Smells suspicious.

:: Varnish Fine Art - Forced Out ::
Eminent domain is a bummer if you own a small business and you're in their cross hairs. That's what Varnish Fine Art, who have shown many great shows over the years, have found themselves. How do you schedule shows when you're not sure when you're to be forced out? Well, they know they've only got a few more months so they're opening PROJECT WRECKING BALL Friday and the long-term art project will continue until the wrecking ball swings.
Varnish has invited over 25 artists to create work on-site and on the walls throughout the next few months. The launch party is Friday from 7 till 11pm. 77 Natoma St. @2nd... The Gallery owners have been in a legal battle with the Transbay Joint Powers Authority for some time. Watch & read about it: - ABC news story - Chronicle story

Steve Powers has been working on a love letter painted on the rooftops that run along the El(evated subway line) in West Philadelphia. There are more than 30 up now and a few more still in progress, despite the fact that the opening reception is over and done with (Powers and his crew are workhorses).
If you are in Phila, you can see the murals between 46rd St. Station and 63rd St. in both directions ( here is a partial list of what to look for). Or, if you can't make it to the city of brotherly love to check it out in person, you can see some photos on the project's official website, or some lo-fi photos I shot on the Cantab Publishing Blog. There is also a printed pamphlet available to guide your IRL viewing and offer suggestions of West Philadelphia businesses that have supported the project and to whom you should offer your support.

You probably already figured it out, but today is PARKING DAY <-- where people are encouraged to take over metered parking spaces and create a park out of them in SF and around the world, and what an amazing day for it here in SF as temps are meant to get into the 80s.
Our question though is, would the DPT give tickets if you forgot to drop a dime in the meter?... I think I'd rather spend my day at a real park although it's a pretty brilliant idea. U see any good ones today? In front of Four Barrel on Valencia a guy offered to pump my bike tires on my way in this morning... article

Friday check out the opening from SF based Todd Bura @Triple Base in the Mission on 24th St. Sample of his work here. | Also Friday Eli Harris @666 Gallery. Not familiar with his work, but from a sample of it online, looks like it could be an interesting show to see. | SATURDAY: see Todd St. John @Mollusk, the surf shop out at Ocean Beach. St. John lives in NYC and has an impressive resume. | Also Saturday is Day 19 @Medicine Agency. Day 19 is the photography from the LA based husband-wife team of Jeremy and Claire Weiss. We've known these two since the creation of Fecal Face. Jeremy was actually in our first show I believe back in 2000. They both shoot for a barrell full of clients.

Japanese Studies scholars as well as a curator from LA County Museum of Art have validated the parodists' concerns, and even the Asian Art Museum's own chief curator has acknowledged their concerns as legitimate. more info: Artist and educator's insightful take, puts it in context | Asian Studies faculty echo their concerns: the Japan History Group blog | Major museum's curator of Japanese art responds | Artsjournal.com's Real Clear Arts blog asks " What should the museum do?" | Interview on 8Asians.com | Hard Knock Radio interview

ISOS is one of the original founders of "New Age" music according to his website, and his area code is 415 which means his an SF local! Maybe we can book him for our 10 year anniversary events coming up next year?! Love it!

:: Free Trip to SF Contest ::
Did you sign up for the Upper Fecal San Playground Francisco Face/ FREE TRIP TO SF CONTEST? Well, the deadline for entering passed yesterday and now we wait for the winner to be selected. Historical tour and dinner w/ Jeremy Fish, hang out at FFDG during Mel Kadel's opening of Echo Test next week on the 10th and spend a day w/ us touring the city checking out some art or something. Not too sure what we're going to do with them yet. I know it's going to be a slow day as is the case after an opening the night before... Any suggestions?? What would you wanna see in San Francisco?

:: Openings Thursday ::
The fall art season is upon us now as galleries across SF and the US open new shows this week. Here in San Francisco we think you should get to these openings:
-
THE DATE FARMERS @FIFTY24SF <-- "The Date Farmers prefer to use scavenged materials, often found near their desert homes in southern California and nearby Mexico. "Using stuff that was thrown away is Mexican ingenuity. People's idea of art is that it's really expensive and [made of] nice materials, but found objects are so abundant, they're much easier and freeing for us."" @ Fifty24SF. 248 Filmore St. 7-9:30
-
NEIGHBORHOOD SF @ 111 MINNA <-- "Past and present artists present a survey of the diverse neighborhoods and people that comprise the city of San Francisco." Mike Giant, Sylvia Ji, MARS-1, Jeremy Fish, Coro, Eric Bailey, Matt Furie, Ferris Plock, Akira and Helen, Brett Amory, Adam 5100, Brian Barneclo, Wesley Burt, Nate Van Dyke, Adam Flores, Colin Hill, Jay Howell, David Imlay, Micah Lebrun, David Choong Lee, Ryan Malley, Romanowski, and Lee Harvey Roswell. 111 Minna 6-2am
-
LUCY & MARK MULRONEY @EVER GOLD <-- I could write something about this show, but I think the preview gives you the idea pretty straight forward. 441 O'Farrell St. 6-9pm
-
MEGAN WOLFE @CAFE ROYAL <-- You may have seen Megan at openings shooting photos for FF... If you've stopped in FFDG on Saturdays, you've meet her as she's here almost every Sat gallery sitting. We love Megan, but besides helping us out tons, she is also an accomplised artist herself. Thursday she opens Mass Populous @Cafe Royale. Highly rendered graphite drawings "examin issues of survival and coexistence through wildlife found in the urban environment." 800 Post St (@ Leavenworth) 8-12am
