June 18, 2005 Thursday, July 7th from 5-11pm, Belltowns VAIN Salon and Seattle arts collective Cut Kulture present the latest work of local multi-media artist Iosefatu Sua dubbed Soles in the Mist. As a featured artist in the VAIN gallerys Free Thinking Residency Program, Sua says of his exhibit, Soles in the Mist explores cultural and individual displacement when forced to separate from traditional ties to the past. Cultural identity and security become threatened by the burden of deep existential uncertainty in a culture organized around economic and ethnic inequality. |

April 25, 2005 Cut Kulture and Vain are pleased to present the work of PeekaBoo and OneSevenNine, Two of Seattles most promising young urban contemporary artists.
ÒLove KillersÓ is a statement about the misunderstood characters that populate the work of both OneSevenNine and Peekaboo. While they may seem cute and innocuous, Peekaboo monster and his crew of Heckle and Jeckle like crows maintain a much more sinister presence in the world created by the artist. OneSevenNine utilizes her ÒGermbotsÓ to awaken a sense of optimism in everybody who come across the decals that are placed in all corners of the city. Please enjoy yourself and keep all limbs inside of your vehicle.
