Mondays–Fridays (8am–8pm)
As this juried show of 22 Bay Area photographers proves, the local scene nurtures a continuous stream of fresh talent working in a range of styles, from documentary and abstraction to landscape and collage. Elizabeth Pedinotti turns the innocent trappings of domesticity — piles of laundry, ice-cream cones, spoonfuls of medicine — into darkly humorous moments; Sean McFarland's landscapes move in and out of focus, shrouded in light and fog, as well as the faulty emulsions of Polaroid film; and Hiroyo Kaneko snaps dreamy tufts of cherry blossoms that collide with pedestrian scenes from contemporary Japanese life.
