Kooks | Oakley Tapola, Melba Price & Bruce Tapola

In 1993, when Oakley was only six years old, they had their first show as a family at the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Now, over thirty years later, we are thrilled to present their work together for the first time at Dreamsong in Kooks, named for the David Bowie song. The exhibition features intimate portraits by Melba Price, psychedelic assemblages by Oakley Tapola and multidisciplinary works by Bruce Tapola, including a monumental painting, works on paper and bronze sculptures. In our Cinema, we present Part II of Short Stories for Discerning Readers featuring small-scale collaborative works on paper by Melba Price and Bruce Tapola.
