Review has added images and listings since the last calendar post on Wednesday. Anyone who missed the opening at UCM's Gallery of Art & Design should regret not meeting up with the stranded pilot in his ice hut during Davin Watne's The Long Winter. Work by Queens-based Lisa Iglesias and a group exhibition of mid-/mid-southern American artists, Joey Borovicka, Sam King, Kristin Musgnug, and Stephanie Pierce are worth a drive to Warrensburg to see in person.
Tonight, a solo exhibition by Barry Anderson opens at Review Studios Exhibition Space, and the Dolphin in the West Bottoms opens three exhibitions. Other events are happening in Midtown (Nelson and Kemper) and in Kansas City, Kansas, where it is Second Friday Artwalk night.

7 Variations On You Can't Always Get What You Want
Santiago Cucullu with Martin Ayos
"Milwaukee-based artist Santiago Cucullu's large-scale installation transforms the Art Center's Education Wing through sprawling vinyl graphics, a series of illuminated commercial signs, and audio recordings. Based on the artist's collaboration with Buenos Aires writer and poet Martin Ayos, Cucullu's multi-faceted work charts the psychological and physical wanderings through an ambiguous cityscape. Santiago Cucullu is the first artist to participate in the Art Center's new series of site-specific temporary projects that re-define and challenge the architectural dynamics of the Education Wing."
