=Un:Earth opening Saturday September 5, 2009=


Proud to announce my first outing as a show curator, the result is as follows:

Un:Earth 14 Artists Cradled Uniquely Curated by Codak Saturday, September 5, 2009 Mid City Arts Gallery un⋅earth /ʌnˈɜrθ/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [uhn-urth] Show IPA To discover (Something hidden, lost, or kept secret) by investigation.


This definition perfectly describes the up coming show Un:earth located at the Mid-city Arts gallery. The show focuses on 14 artists from outside of California and from all over the United States and Abroad. In an effort to shed some light or rather “Unearth” their talents in the California art community while focusing on a common thread, in a background of ”Graffiti/Street Art”. Many have transitioned into other mediums from design/illustration to sculpture and print all the while maintaining a foothold in the street level ethics and approach that got them where they are today. So take a second and come discover a showcase of artists from a different vein, pushing boundaries in their respective communities and now getting some shine in Los Angeles. T

his show will also be the first Los Angeles Appearance of renowned UK
Graffiti Artist Shok1. Who will be painting live and showcasing a large installation piece. Www.shok1.com
