Tonight:

At New Langton Arts : Opening reception 7-9 pm. "Nothing Stands Still" explores migration and displacement through the video works of Juan Manuel Echavarria (b Columbia, lives in Bogota and New York), Adrià Julià (b Spain, lives in Los Angeles), and Adrian Paci (b Albania, lives in Milan). The artists reflect on three different regions of the world: Albanians that have migrated to Italy, Colombians displaced within their own borders, and earlier migrations of Basques to southern California, in works that are both political and poetic.

At CCA: Artist talk: Architect and theorist Lebbeus Woods explores new forms of space and energy that characterize contemporary society. Focusing on zones of geographic crisis, economic uncertainty and social conflict in cities like San Francisco, Havana and Sarajevo, Woods's provocative visions of possible realities make him one of the most imaginative and internationally respected architects practicing today. His wildly experimental theories and projects inspire architects, artists and students to reach beyond traditional limits of practicality to reconsider innovative means of understanding architecture's relationship to the human condition.7 pm, Timken Lecture Hall, San Francisco campus.

RSP at Lobot: Screenprinting Lab: RPS hosts a weekly open screenprinting lab at LoBot Gallery. This is for folks with previous screenprinting experience but a lack of access to proper printing facilities. Someone from RPS will be around to monitor the lab and help with lightweight troubleshooting. The lab will provide each person with one screen to use, emulsion, emulsion remover, and tools (drying racks, exposure unit, squeegees, tape, etc). You will need to bring your own image on a transparency or acetate, ink, and paper or fabric to print onto, and be prepared to clean up after yourself. You must sign up to attend, 5 person max, $10 for the 4 hour session. Lobot Gallery is located at 1800 Campbell Street in Oakland.
