Deja Who? Ever notice how often we say, "You remind me of ..."? Painter/photographer Nancy Webber finds historical portraits that remind her of regular ol' folks, photographs the regular folks, and juxtaposes them with the famous paintings. Not everyone can say he's an Angelo Poliziano look-alike, but Webber's art student Anthony Loveday is featured in her show as a Poliziano double. Is it real, or is it Memorex? Some of the pieces are so similar, it's difficult to believe the photograph vs. the painting. Webber's exhibit, "Deja New," opens at 8 a.m. (and is up through Dec. 19) at the Downstairs Gallery, UC Extension Center, 55 Laguna (at Hermann), S.F. Admission is free; call 252-5221.
