Matt Petty of SFGate spent some time at the galleries on Saturday night for the opening reception of Solid Cold by Antistrot and Never a Dull Moment curated by iO Tillet Wright. We like what he had to say:

Saturday night I stopped by Edinburgh Castle for fish and chips, and followed that up with some art at White Walls and Shooting Gallery. White Walls had a group show with photography and paintings. The curator, iO Wright had the artist transform the gallery into a plywood wonderland. Yes, the show has some colorful geometrics, but also features some gritty photography and really nice graffiti stylings from Kofie1. Next door I checked out the art of the Dutch collective Antistrot. They are on this “docudrama” thing, where they meld elements from comics, fashion mags, porno mags, 1970′s war books and other elements. They also had some cool pieces done directly on the walls of the gallery, which I’m always a fan of.

Petty also posted a few nice flicks from the night. Check them out with the full “Art Adventures” write up at SFGate.
