Events we missed but definitely worthy of a mention:

Saturday, October 31 | 11a-1p | Opening: Dario Robleto: Some Longings Survive Death. Robleto presents a major new body of work — the artist’s most ambitious to date.  The eight large-scale works on view were developed for two unique, site inspired exhibitions: Human/Nature: Artists Respond to a Changing Planet (Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; and Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA) and (Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA). Presented together for the first time, the sculptures trace the limits of mortality and extinction.  Robleto proposes regenrative narratives, mixing natural history and tokens of desire into remedies for the inevitable losses of time. p.s.  Don’t miss the artist’s talk at 12 noon.  Free.  Inman Gallery, 3901 Main Street.  www.inmangallery.com.
