I’ve become a fan of DVD extras over the years. For that reason, I’ve provided a list of goodies loosely themed after Saltworks Gallery’s current exhibit. My review appears in today’s print edition of Creative Loafing. An excerpt:

Between a series of drawings at Saltworks Gallery loosely themed after Kung Fu training manuals and the Avant Garden discussion panel on journalism and blogging at the Contemporary, there’s plenty of variety in the week ahead.

Don’t worry. If you’re not interested in seeing more photography, there’s still plenty of artwork in other media on view this weekend. (Take for instance the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit.) But if you are one of those camera-obsessed maniacs, prepare yourself for a total system shock.
