Opening reception Friday February 3, 2012 / 6 - 10pm For press and sales information please inquire with the gallery.

COOPER COLE is pleased to welcome American artists Ryan Wallace and Chris Duncan to a two person exhibition titled Transmission Lines. Wallace and Duncan's linear variations of shape explore the margins of time and space while echoing the unstable tension between vision, perception, and reflection. Both artists explore a variety of materials to great visual effect. Mixed mediums create shapes which are layered and duplicated in reference to perpetual movement, hypnosis, op art, and the mutable nature of color. These constructed shapes and surfaces open the dialogue between perception and perspective, making it difficult to interpret the true materials being used as well as the limits of the work itself.

Ryan Wallace is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design and a recent recipient of a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant. Wallace’s paintings, works on paper, installations and sculptures can be found in galleries, institutions, and collections across North America and Europe. Recent exhibitions have been at Morgan Lehman Gallery, Rachel Uffner Gallery, Zieher Smith, The Islip Art Museum and Brooklyn Academy of Music. Wallace currently lives and works in Brooklyn, and Amagansett, New York.

Chris Duncan received his BFA at the California College of Arts and is a 2013 Master of Fine Arts candidate at Stanford University. In 2006 he won a Goldie Award for Visual Art. His paintings and installation have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums in North America such as the Berkeley Art Museum, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the Kemper Art Museum. He has also exhibited internationally in Canada, Belgium, and Japan. Duncan currently lives and works in Oakland, California.

Stopped by 510 in Berkeley to drop off the new issue and a few 9.5s.

Next to the register, thanks Alex and Chase!

Been a long month, these are some random and slightly interesting photos from it.

Real was nice enough to send over one of their new Low Pro decks for a test ride. Over all, it skated great but for me and I'm not small fry it flexed out after a couple weeks.

The concave felt great, different enough to feel new but still familiar.

7 plies but two are slimmer and cross-grained and with a new glue for added strength.

Stickers.

Pine nuts and coconut marshmallows, not my idea of a treat but hey some people are just odd.

Three of a kind.

There is nothing like getting a package randomly in the mail on a shitty day or after a series of shitty days. This one came from Managing Editor, Dan Post and it made a crap sandwich of a day a hell of a lot better.

Coffee rulez my life.

Last night's session. end the month on a good note and think about the fun times in the days to come.

Another teaser from 5Boro; this is gonna be good.

Some new/old footage of Stereo pro Ben Gore via MIA.

Staring Chris Roberts, produced by Crailtap.
