At Open Studios, walk into the hives, the factories, the crucibles: the places of art invention. At this opening weekend, in the Mission District and its surrounding valleys and heights, you can see Victor Cartagena’s printed-paper installations that peer into cultural identities, Beryl Landau’s beautiful, rough way with urban landscapes, and Lily Martine Baxter’s arching, curly abstracts. But what we really love about walking from studio to studio is the sense of theme you can sometimes see. Often, artists have secret foci that can only be spotted while looking at a cross-section of sculpture, drawings, even the tchotchkes in their joint, and to notice them can make seeing art an even better way to ponder the vagaries of the universe.
Saturdays, Sundays, 11 a.m. Starts: Oct. 10. Continues through Nov. 1, 2009
