Retrospective exhibition opening at CK Contemporary Gallery in San Francisco for the celebrated artist Robert Kipniss. The exhibition, entitled “Reveries,” showcases a remarkable selection of the acclaimed artist’s mezzotints, lithographs and paintings.

The Algerian artist Driss Ouadahi studied architecture before attending Düsseldorf's famed Kunstakademie to study painting. Influenced by his experience as an émigré, he’s developed a unique visual vocabulary with which to explore themes of migration, social mobility and “otherness” through a lens of both cultural and personal history.

The German painter Birgit Jensen explores the relationship between truth and artifice -- and the role mediation plays in it -- through the unlikely medium of landscape painting. Her process begins with photographs, which she digitally edits, then manipulates into layers of geometric marks or patterns. From them, she painstakingly constructs multi-layered paintings on canvas. Up close, the imagery breaks into pixelated noise. From a distance, they appear nearly photographic.

Participating vendors are Bay Area artists, designers, printers, and publishers who will gather to sell their printed wares. The bazaar is a great place to support local publishers and find affordable art. Shop new publications, posters, stickers, t-shirts, and other artist-made merchandise.

Explore rotating gallery exhibitions the first Saturday of every month at Minnesota Street Projects. Check gallery listing for special events and openings.

Alex Kanevsky is a figurative painter who belongs to no school, follows no tendency, and has neither a signature style nor a recurring topic. Other than working on rectangular supports, his resistance to being pigeon-holed offers us a way to reflect upon his treatment of traditional subjects, such as the model, landscape, and still life.

Robert Koch Gallery presents an exhibition of works by Japanese photographer Yamamoto Masao, featuring selections from his series A Box of Ku, Nakazora, Kawa=Flow, Bonsai, and Tomasu. Yamamoto’s pictures are grounded in Zen philosophy, seeking beauty in everyday life and the moments we often overlook. His practice centers on the belief that meditation and careful observation reveal the extraordinary within the ordinary.

General admission is free to Bay Area residents, and tickets are available two weeks in advance. Surcharged exhibitions are not included and require separate paid tickets.

“Word Play” seeks to influence the viewer through the interplay between text and visual elements in contemporary art.
