Normally, we like to tout local galleries in this space. But a show that just opened up at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco deserves your attention, if you have an appetite for artfully rendered mutant kitsch. The local angle is that a number of Sacramento artists are featured in Sci-Fi Western: Art by Hundreds of Space Cadets, including Kim Scott, Bruce Gossett, John Stuart Berger, Skinner, Stace Cooper and Groovie Ghoulies frontman Kepi. They’re in the good company of such names as Robert Williams, Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, Gary Baseman, Isabel Samaras, Clayton Bailey, Ron English, Jeff Soto and Eric White. The show, curated by Sunny Buick, features fantastic pieces inspired by the space-age collision of frontier and outer-limits motifs, and it’ll be up through March 29. The gallery is located at, well, 111 Minna Street, which is near Second and Mission streets. Its phone number is (415) 974-1719, and its Web site is at www.111minna.org.
