● "Two of a Kind: The Diptych Project," a traveling show of encaustic (a process in which colors are burned in, through various methods) paintings, makes its next stop at the Conrad Wilde Gallery.
The exhibit opens with a 6-9 p.m. reception Saturday and continues through Sept. 27..
The works were created through long-distance collaborations among contemporary artists, including Kim Bernard and Mari Marks; Amy Stoner and Lindsay Bentis — whose "String of Pearls 12" is seen here; Lynette Haggard and Carol Paxton Juliano; Daniella Woolf and Kimberly Curry; Paula Roland and Charyl Weissbach; and Nik Bsullak and Kathy Knebel.
Around the world, artists are collaborating on projects; this show is an example of what those collaborations can produce.
The Conrad Wilde Gallery is at 210 N. Fourth Ave., 622-8997. It's open 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.
● Over at Obsidian Gallery, you'll find metal on display. Yup, metal. And some very cool metal at that.
"Collected Metal" features sculpture and jewelry by international artist Biba Schutz; sculpture and furniture by Tucsonan Daniel Lehman, whose work is strongly influenced by biological and industrial forms; holloware and jewelry by award-winning artist Charles Funnel; and sculpture and furniture by Boris Bally, whose latest work is made from reused aluminum traffic signs.
The show continues through Oct. 12. Obsidian is at 4320 N Campbell Ave. in St. Philip's Plaza, 577-3598.
The gallery is open 10 a.m.-6 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays, and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sundays.
● If you've been madly anticipating the Center for Creative Photography's exhibition "Accommodating Nature: The Photographs of Frank Gohlke," you'll have to wait a little longer.
The show, scheduled to open today with a lecture by the landscape photographer, has been postponed because of "technical difficulties" in the gallery. That means today's talk by Gohlke has also been put off. A new date has not yet been announced.
The CCP's permanent gallery is open, however, and is currently showing works that inspired Gohlke.
The CCP is in the University of Arizona Fine Arts Complex, North Park Avenue and East Speedway, 621-7968. It's open 9 a.m.-5 p.m., Mondays through Fridays, noon-5 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. It's free.
