Hello, wonderful people. We’re very excited to invite you to Lately, a show at Transmission Gallery in Oakland, California, running from May 9 - June 22, 2024.
Say hi at the opening reception on Saturday, May 11 from 1-4p, and join us for an afternoon after party at Thee Stork Club at 4p.
Lately features new and recent work from Bay Area-based artists, Cooper Salmon and Selby Sohn, curated by New York-based writer and Days & Nights editor Alana Heiss.
Cooper’s new and recent paintings depict real life scenes of him and his friends in and around the Bay Area through a veneer of psychedelic color and cartoonishness. Selby’s new body of photography and sculptural work explores the concept of preexisting knowledge through becoming, as literally as possible, a red-hot exclamation point. Together, the work answers the question your curator is always dying to ask Cooper and Selby: what have you been making lately?
Opening and after party on Saturday, May 11
We’re dying to see all our Bay Area friends and meet new ones, so please come and hang out with us at the opening from 1-4p! After that, we’ll head to an afternoon after party at Thee Stork Club, the legendary bar brought back to life by John Waters and Shannon of Shannon and the Clams in 2022—a ten minute walk from the gallery.
