Tonight at The Lab (2948 16th St at Capp), it's the opening reception for the Corporate Art Expo '07, an exhibition of the "art lie" du jour - artists taking on the guise of corporations with the requisite branding, logos, and jargon, often as a means to critiquing capitalism and consumerism. Curated by Shane Montgomery, the exhibition features faux-corps: the Anti-Advertising Agency, Acclair, C5 Corporation, Davis & Davis Research, Meaning Maker, Death and Taxes, Inc.,......

Tonight is a big-ass party at the Exploratorium, (3601 Lyon St.) for its new exhibition, Liminality: Art on the Threshold. Liminality experiments with the Exploratorium's public space using the metaphor of thresholds as a unifying theme. This exhibition will feature large-scale artworks, created by Seattle and Bay-Area artists, which play with and accentuate the architectural features of the Exploratorium's airplane hangar-like interior. The opening party features one-night-only performances and installations by Project Bandaloop, Kal......

If Wednesday was attacking your face instead of your liver, you'd do something about it. Today: It's summer! The time of the year where the city sponsors random music concerts in the middle of the day! If you make your way to Union Square at noon today, you can check out the rockabilly band Panther Slim, and if you're near the Crocker Galleria, it's Silk Steel. Concerts will go on around downtown through September. Thursday:......

While we’ve been stuck inside our stuffy apartment in the Tenderloin, nursing a nasty cough amid empty tissue boxes and cartons of Chunky Monkey (hey, we have a very sore throat), we’ve started to feel a touch of the cabin fever. Despite our frail and sickly condition, we’re determined to get a little fresh air and check out the following shows starting tonight. We hope to see you there, just don’t stand too close.......

In the past month we managed to catch up on two seasons of "Battlestar Galctica" (yes, we listened to our dear readers and got good and hooked) including the season finale, and now it's all over and we have to wait until OCTOBER for new episodes. Sheesh. Maybe we should have savored those DVDs instead of devoring them like the gluttons we are. Now what? Is "Lost" even on anymore? (OK. It's on this......

We seem to recall Laurie Anderson pwning similar tech in the 80s, but The Lab (that nifty art/performance space in the Mission) is going to be showcasing some cutting-edge audio performance equipment that feels like it's straight out of a sci-fi novel. Michael Waisvisz and Robert van Heumen of STEIM (an Amsterdammish audio-performance-concocting center) demonstrate LiSa X and JunXion, software that creates "a sound field in the computer, where the performer can record and......

Okay, maybe we're no better than the steelworking philistines in Pittsburgh, but we somehow doubt that the entire audience at "Hairy Bodies" will be primarily there for the exhibit's intended purpose: to look "at individual and group complexities, differences, and dynamics." Um, yeah, we'll be sure to check out those group complexities, just as soon as we're done ogling all the squeezy, scratchy pecs. Mmmmmmm. The group exhibiton at The Lab's nifty gallery opens January......
