When we featured Evah Fan in the magazine back in October 2010, she was living in Stockholm, Sweden, making intricate illustrations that, and as Kristin Farr wrote at the time, were "unintentionally puzzling." Now back living in Oakland, California, perhaps things will get more puzzling or clear as Fan is set to open What Have You at Park Life in San Francisco on August 31.

San Francisco was on the art beat this weekend with 3 different art fairs to attend, and Friday afternoon we made our way to artMRKT, the most internationally represented fair of the trio. From Park Life, to LeBasee, to Daniel Horowitz' fantastic collection of collage and drawings at Muriel Guepin's booth, this year's showing was also SF's most eclectic.

Tonight in San Francisco, Park Life Gallery will be hosting a group exhibition curated by local curator, publisher, and artist, Andrew McClintock.  The show entitled “(Invisible) Relic”, examines works by two generations of California Conceptual Artists working with performative actions and re-appropriated objects in a variety of mediums including video, photographic, audio, sculpture and performance.

'More Light' is a two-person show of new works by Francesco Deiana and Lafe Harley Eaves that opens this Friday February 24th at Park Life in San Francisco. I dropped by the gallery earlier this week to do a little Q&A with Lafe and get a quick peek of the installation in progress, mainly because I admire his work and, well, I Just. Couldn't. Wait. Any. Longer!!!

Recently opened at Park Life in San Francisco is See You Next Tuesday, a series of paintings by recent CCA graduate Courtney Johnson that are strangely grotesque and humorous merging human and animal forms yielding figures that are terrifyingly monstrous.

Former Juxtapoz feature Ian Johnson is teaming up with Sadie Barnette for a two-person exhibit, Last Time It Was Gray, at San Francisco's Park Life, opening July 8. The show will features figurative elements that they inextricably link to their own versions of what could be referred to as a New Abstraction.

Mary Iverson, a contemporary artist we have admired for quite some time, is part of a group show, Linear Empires, opening at San Francisco's White Walls next Saturday, February 12, 2011. She will be showing alongside Augustine Kofie, Geoff Campen, Diana Ruiz, Richard Pearse, Moneyless, Brendan Monroe and Gregory Ito. Iverson's work after the jump . . .

As we mentioned in our store visit to Park Life, Thomas Campbell will be showing Space Cakes at the Park Life Gallery with Kyle Field opening on February 18, 2011. As Thomas Campbell told us, it is going to more of a "happening" than a traditional art show. More images and info after the jump . . .
