Solo Exhibition at CULTUREEDIT Gallery Opening Reception Saturday Jan 31 5-8 PM Daniel Case: Outside Sex presents a candid and unflinching exploration of the landscapes and sexscapes of gay cruising grounds across California. The exhibition is based on Case’s book of the same title (published by Dark Entries) and brings its photographic archive into the gallery space, extending the publication’s examination of queer intimacy, public space, and disappearance. Through digital and film photography, American artist Daniel Case (b. 1979) documents sites of queer encounter that exist at the margins of visibility. Working at the intersection of documentary landscape photography and unconventional portraiture, Case engages with surveillance, archiving, and the preservation of queer spaces. Outside Sex features intimate photographs of men having sex outdoors, situating these encounters within landscapes shaped by desire, risk, and ritual. As Case reflects, “The energy and history of each carved-out space felt like spiritual ruins… fading, but standing as monuments to their purpose and the intimate experiences shared.” Framed as both documentation and memorial, the exhibition positions these cruising grounds as fragile yet enduring records of queer presence—spaces whose beauty, magic, and history persist even as they face erasure. Daniel will be present and available to sign copies of his book that will be for sale during the opening. Beverages generously provided by JUNESHIN8 will be served.
