From a father/son art exhibition to a new coffee spot
Our weekly Red List roundup

Digable art
Some fathers and sons bond over restoring old cars in the garage or talking baseball while watching a game. Roger and François Guillemin have a more highbrow approach to quality father/son time. Both men are accomplished artists and, for the first time ever, will be exhibiting their distinctinve work together in Roger Guillemin & Le Corbeau: Father & Son, which opens Friday, May 25, in the Joseph Clayes III Gallery at the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library (1008 Wall St. in La Jolla). Each man works in different media. Roger is considered a pioneer in digital art and will be presenting numerous prints that range from abstract to impressionist in style, while François is a surrealist sculptor ("Doree" shown here) who uses bronze as his material of choice. This exhibition is a peek into the interesting work of both men and how son was ultimately influenced by father yet was able to carve out a style all his own. The opening reception is free and goes from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., with the works on display through June 16. Afterward stop by the Main Reading Room for an exhibition of prints by Brigitte Feucht.

From Rock the Boulevard to experimental art
Our weekly Red List roundup
byDigable music
El Cajon Boulevard has seen a revival in the last few years. Sure, you can still see the occasional lady of the night strolling the street, but with new bars, restaurants, awesome neighborhood events and a complete renovation of the Lafayette Hotel & Swim Club, it's got a lot more to offer these days. That includes Rock the Boulevard, happening Friday, May 4 through Sunday, May 6, at the Lafayette. On Friday there will be a happy hour with Roy Rapid & the Rhythm Rock Trio (pictured) and the film La Bamba playing poolside. Follow that up Saturday with brunch, zumba classes and a pool party featuring a swimsuit fashion show by Fables by Barrie. That night, an '80s party goes down in the hotel's Mississippi Room until 2 a.m. The next day, there's yet another pool fiesta. Soak up some sun and salute the boulevard. See website for info. theboulevard.org.

The ramp is part of Ramp it Up: Skateboard Culture in Native America, an exciting new exhibition opening Saturday, April 28, that’s indicative of the museum’s much-talked-about new strategic plan, which promises to transform it into a more contemporary, participatory place of education and dialogue and make the institution more profitable.

America has a lot to see. Why not let a pop-culture humorist take you along for a musical tour and point out all the cool and kooky spots? That’s where Charles Phoenix and His Retro Slide Show comes in. Phoenix, decked out in his vintage Colonel Sanders ties and bright shirts, will be saluting San Diego and name checking his favorite local spots at 3 p.m Sunday, April 29, at the Museum of Photographic Arts (1649 El Prado, Balboa Park).
