tonight, a very special conflict of interest special edition…

• As it is my strict policy only to direct you to the art events of people that I know (a.k.a., the only people who e-mail me about art openings), it is my sworn duty to let you know that my former housemate, Tim Tinker and a bunch of other artists are opening a group show tonight at Solstice (a.k.a., the best cafe in the U District). Drop in tonight between 6 and 9 pm to see why so much of the art in my apartment are Tim Tinker originals. [solstice]
• Continuing on this theme (really, I wouldn’t recommend these events if I didn’t think they weren’t good), the McLeods are turning over half of the collection tonight. The Parlor is now home to Kharis Kennedy’s “Fixed Value”, a three sets of nine paintings focused on the same subject matter exploring the three-dimensionality of paintings and their fundamental properties of light, mass, and energy. Next door, Glimpses of China fills the walls with Sami Khoury’s photographs. [mcleodresidence]
• Before you go out (or at the very least, before you go to sleep), be sure to order a ticket or two to see Battles so that you don’t end up stuck outside begging to get inside tomorrow. [neumos ]
