"Phoebe Seligman" Oxenrose Salon Daily from Thu., August 21 until Mon., September 1 Hayes Valley/Tenderloin
Some people look at old photographs and they just see corn. Bow ties, earnest facial expressions, cat-eye glasses: You know, corn. Corny corn. But painter Phoebe Seligman isn't one of them. Instead, she sees in a young man's photo the subtle tilt of an eyebrow indicating a sensitive nature, so... More >>
Lisa Mezzacappa’s Before & After Red Poppy Art House Fri., August 29, 9:00pm Mission/Bernal Heights
A certain type of jazz musician is the prestigious award-winning kind; they've been artists in residence at the Headlands Center, they've earned two music degrees from good schools, and on top of it all, they're good-natured, popular, and attractive. We've got several of these types hanging... More >>
I Served the King of England Embarcadero Center Cinema Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4 Embarcadero
Septuagenarian Czech filmmaker Jirí Menzel's latest boasts the same darkly sarcastic and lyrically absurdist trademarks that fellow Czech New Wavers Milos Forman and Vera Chytilová were known for in the '60s. But I Served the King of England is hardly past its prime, and perhaps... More >>
"Women Impressionists: Berthe Morisot, Mary Cassatt, Eva Gonzalès, Marie Bracquemond" Legion of Honor Daily from Sat., June 21 until Sun., September 21 Richmond (Outer)
When we were 19, we wanted to be Berthe Morisot. After having accepted that we had little (although not no) talent for visual art, we learned that Morisot was a very famous and beloved enabler. In our neutered art books at school, she was merely "kind" and "wealthy," leaving food and paint... More >>
"Mini Market" Silverman Gallery Daily from Fri., August 22 until Sat., August 30 Nob Hill/Russian Hill
Last year, artist Takashi Murakami erected a Louis Vuitton shop in the middle of Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art. It caused something of an uproar. Art critic Lee Rosenbaum said that the shop “co-opts museums as shameless corporate marketing tools.” The New Yorker’s... More >>
Lee “Scratch” Perry, Heavyweight Dub Champion The Independent Daily from Thu., August 28 until Fri., August 29, 9:00pm Haight/Fillmore
Onstage and in interviews, Lee “Scratch” Perry’s persona is a mix of giddy surrealism, folk wisdom, apocalyptic theology, and simple crudity (fart jokes, raw sex talk). And while there’s fun to be had listening to him ramble, when you unpack his riffs, there are deep worries... More >>
Riot on Sunset Strip Film Festival Red Vic Movie House Daily from Thu., August 28 until Sun., August 31 Haight/Fillmore
For some, the Sixties were all about the politics. For others, they were all about the sex. For Hollywood historian Dominic Priore, the decade was about the music, and the throbbing center of the scene, at least for a short time, was the Sunset Strip. From 1965-66, this mile-and-a-half section... More >>
“Rob Nilsson’s 9@Night” Roxie Theater Daily from Fri., August 29 until Thu., September 4 Mission/Bernal Heights
Raise a tall glass as another bombastic Hollywood summer comes to an end, not with a bang but with a bomb: After four months of crassness and carnage, the movie listings at last herald the return of substance and sanity. Leading the charge is veteran East Bay filmmaker Rob Nilsson, a one-man... More >>
Slow Food Nation Multiple San Francisco locations Daily from Fri., August 29 until Mon., September 1 Union Square/Financial District
We all know about fast food, but what about its opposite? Slow Food began where so many delicious things do: Italy. The movement got its start in the 1980s, when Carlo Petrini opposed a McDonald’s slated to open near the Spanish Steps in. Philosophically averse to the tyranny of... More >>
“When Holy Were the Haunted Forest Boughs” Triple Base Gallery Daily from Fri., August 29 until Sun., September 28 Mission/Bernal Heights
Phantasms of all persuasions drift into the artwork of Christine Shields. The San Francisco painter is a collector of lonely ghosts: witchy little girls, glowing fire goddesses, owl-bodied crybabies. Even her portraits of real people have a strange otherworldly quality, as if the old saying... More >>
