In Outside, you can step inside the world of Michael Baum, a local painter who portrays the Southwestern landscape, and appreciate the work of fellow local Laszlo Palos, who takes used metal objects and turns them into pieces whose value comes from their form, shape and feel, rather than how (or whether) they perform a task. The two sets of works will be on display at the Commonwheel Artists Gallery (102 Cañon Ave., Manitou Springs, commonwheel.com) beginning with Friday's 5 p.m. opening reception and running through Sept. 12. — Demetrius Burns
