Khoi Pham: Matter of Time - Opening Reception

Today at 4pm · Oakland

Join us for the opening of MATTER OF TIME with Bay Area artist Khoi Pham (@khoibpham) at Two Two in Oakland. Pham’s work, often printed on aluminum, begins with a camera, isolating fragments of the physical world. Through drawing, digital distortion and reconstruction, these fragments are stretched beyond their origins. The works linger between observation and transformation, where the everyday is not simply documented, but intensified, taking on a strange and luminous presence. We’re honored to have Khoi’s work at Two Two this spring and hope you’ll join us to celebrate and meet the artist! Opening reception will feature a show-specific audio sculpture by Sab Mai (@bodega.superstar) and bites by Cyn (@sea2sea.co)
