    July 13 - 18, 2010 | Obscured Metropolis | Emerging Artist Showcase |
    curated by: Simone Rojas-Pick | Opening Reception: Thursday July 15, 7 - 10 PM

    Inspired by Fritz Lang’s 1927 film Metropolis, Obscured Metropolis is an exploration of the everyday encounters of the urban experience, as interpreted by a group of emerging artists. It is both a critique and celebration of living in an urban setting in the 21st century, touching on the wide variety of associated issues.

    The urban experience is often illusive to describe; it is irrevocably pervasive, touching every facet of our daily lives. Is it the daily grind, commuter culture, the relationship between ourselves and the space/people around us, various communities, pop culture, or consumer culture… ?

    This exhibition will feature 20 emerging artists working in a wide variety of media including photography, mixed media, graffiti and street art, textiles, performance, and new media works.

    Obscured Metropolis encourages individual artists using different approaches to create a dialogue discussing the urban experience. By bringing together artists with very compellingly varying visions and voices we hope to open a more universal forum to shed light on the everyday urban experience.

    Participating Artists:

    Alexa MacKenzie, Alexandra Stzepa, Alyson Ogasian, Amy Uyeda, Ashley Toye,Ayan Melikli +Alexei Berezov, Chris Healey, Glen Bernabe, Jaspal Birdi, Joseph Viviano, Kye Marshall, Lynn Harrigan, Michael Archibault, Paul Elia, Sarah Waldman-Engel + Rebecca Collins, Scott M2, Simone Collins, Tim Comrie, Trevor Laalo
