Off Site: Quarterly at Latham Square
Featuring the work of Daniel Healey
1611 Telegraph Avenue, Oakland
December 11 - March 8, 2011
Oakland based artist Daniel Healey uses thousands of pieces of tape to create intricate landscapes of consumer objects for his exhibition at Latham Square. By using clear household tape, the artist manipulates small fragments of found ink into abstract "brush strokes" that are layered, piece by piece, into larger structures.
The exhibition is on view weekdays from 9 am to 5 pm in the Latham Square lobby located at 1611 Telegraph Ave., Oakland. Admission is free.
