Personal Space presents Salad Days, an inaugural group exhibition featuring work by artists from Vallejo, the broader Bay Area, Los Angeles, Iowa, New York, and London. As the title denotes the vigor and recklessness of youth, the works assembled here suggest the vulnerability of new beginnings through an abundance of color, humor, material experimentation, and bittersweet pathos. Taken together, these artists dredge the joyful precarity of fleeting moments and summertime bliss to reveal something far more dreamlike and mysterious.

Salad Days includes a newly commissioned book by Jordan/Martin Hell

2-4pm Snacks by Leif Hedendal

Natural wine and DJ set by Village Vallejo a forthcoming gathering place in Vallejo serving drinks alongside live and recorded music.

4-5pm Improvised sounds by Tony MF, Cheflee, and Cole Pulice

Vallejo is not the easiest place to get to on transit, but there are some options:

 

From San Francisco:

The ferry is the easiest and most glamorous way to get to Vallejo from SF. The trip across the bay takes approximately 50min, and snacks & drinks are available for purchase on board. Tickets range from $4.50-$11.25 each way. The Vallejo Ferry Building is 1.9mi away from Personal Space, and the easiest way to get from there to PS from the ferry building is by cab or Lyft (~6min).

Vallejo City Cab (707) 643-3333

 

From the East Bay:

The easiest, fastest, and cheapest option from the east bay is to take Greyhound from the West Oakland BART station to the Vallejo Transit Center. Tickets are $8.99 each way and the trip takes about 35min depending on traffic. Personal Space is 1.7mi from the Vallejo Transit Center. The easiest way to get to PS from the Vallejo Transit Center is by cab or Lyft (~6min).
