1. I am not sure anyone has mentioned http://www.ubu.com on here.  It 
is a great site with tons of avant garde art, film and sound resources.

2. After the discussion about Matt Barney  I think it makes sense to 
mention his successor on the fourth floor of SFMOMA.
The Anselm Kiefer show is pretty awesome. Probably the best thing they 
have had since I have been going there. They also opened the room with 
Richard Serra's "Gutter Splash" piece and put Barnett Newmann's "Zim 
zum" on the patio. It is as if the curators suddenly woke up or 
something.
At least three of the major pieces in the show are owned by SFMOMA 
which makes the curators seem a little retarded since they don't show 
them.

3. The shows at Berkeley Art Museum are pretty good. I really 
unexpectedly enjoyed the Yoko Ono show. The Semina Culture show is good 
and kind of depressing since a lot of these artists never really got 
going even though they had some great ideas, lots of hard drugs in that 
scene.
There is still a ton of great work by from an  interesting California 
movement.
