Admin Reveal: An Evening With Miss Lady Salad
Shawn Escarciga (Miss Lady Salad) [Shawn Escarciga]
The veil between URL and IRL thins once more for ADMIN REVEAL. Darling internet pest and real life gayguy Miss Lady Salad welcomes f-slurs far and wide to journey through their valley of memes, celebrating three years of a meme-a-day (or 3) with a little talking, a little sharing, a little durational performance, 15mg of generic Lexapro, and a dream.

Miss Lady Salad (Shawn Escarciga) celebrates three years of a memes-a-day with the return of ADMIN REVEAL, a project for the terminally online and those who love them. One part elevated show and tell, one part durational performance, ADMIN REVEAL highlights 3000+ Miss Lady Salad memes and the cressy girl who made them (along with a few special guests). Prior to the evening meme-fest, Miss Lady Salad will sit for open gallery hours where guests are welcome to come take a selfie at the altar of MLS (just don’t expect to speak with the artist IRL, they’ll be busy doing stuff URL).
