Tonight Guestroom Gallery opens Compound Concoction curated by Katsu of Just Be. Featuring a grip of young Japanese artists and a couple Americans, this show seems to be the Dig Me Out show at Compound last fall redux, perhaps with some new surprises. I'm interested to see what ZanPon's got up his sleeve this time around. While you're over there, be sure to check out Dan Ness' solo show at Woolley at Wonder.
