Houston Galeria: Jacqueline Gendel, Tim Lokiec, and Peter LaBier at The Brandon, 7–10 pm. It's been 35 year since 'Bad' Painting (featuring Houston's own Earl Staley) and it still seems to be a thing.

Sondra Perry
Ex-ile featuring Blanka Amezkua, Darwin Arevalo, Rushern Baker IV, Arthur Brum, Caroline Chandler, Oscar Rene Cornejo, Sandra Cornejo, Abigail Deville, Tomashi Jackson, Alex Larsen, Eric Mack, Harold Mendez, Robert Nava, Tammy Nguyen, Sondra Perry, Ronny Quevedo, David Salinas, Rodrigo Valenzuela and Sam Vernonat at El Rincón Social, 8 pm – 2 am. One night only. The description of the show is soporific: "Exile explores the boundaries between individual expression and the disintegration of human traces on the economic, social, and political field. The artists featured in this exhibition use artifacts as a means to evoke the obscurity of this disintegration — exploring with materials to communicate and testify to a suppressed history. Exile presents works that recontextualize exiled historical narratives into present personal narratives." It goes on in a similar manner for another paragraph. I hope the art isn't as boring as this.

Bas Poulos, Figure with Ribbons, acrylic on metal on wood
26th Annual Día de los Muertos Gala & Retablo Silent Auction at Lawndale Art Center, 6 to 9 pm. Ugh, its gala season again. The people at CultureMap and Paper City must be ecstatic. Well, if you have to go to a gala, Lawndale's Día de los Muertos is a good one because you get an opportunity to bid on moderately priced little pieces of art, like this lovely one by Bas Poulos, which combines "mid-century abstraction" and "dirty old man" into one slyly beautiful composition.
SATURDAY
Dennis Harper's Time Machine will be auctioned off.
BOXtoberfest! at BOX 13 ArtSpace, 12 to 7 pm. This is about as close to a gala as Box 13 is gonna get. It is a day-long party that will culminate with a parade--the float for which will be made on site live with audience participation. Bands, a raffle, beer, artists, etc.
