For his latest work, John Pomara found himself interested in the way digital technology simultaneously connects us and disconnects us. Everyone has that friend who's in constant communication with everyone except the people in front of him. These communicative “visual distractions” were the impetus for his new abstract works that debut at the Barry Whistler Gallery (2909-B Canton St.) at 6 p.m. Saturday. See Digital-Distraction during the opening reception or through November 29. More information at barrywhistlergallery.com.
Sat., Oct. 18, 6 p.m.; Wednesdays-Saturdays, 12-5 p.m. Starts: Oct. 18. Continues through Nov. 29, 2014
