The unbeheld. This is a photo set of the covered up works of glory all around the city of design. That’s right! This set of photos is called “Graffiti Cover Up,” and it takes place in urban Minneapolis. This project is executed by a friend and colleague of mine, also former classmate of mine at the MCAD, photographer Nicole Kuntz. She’s traveled the mean streets of upper, lower, left and right Minneapolis, searching for glorious works of art, finding them blocked out. But in that comes another form of loveliness, just another step in the evolution of a wall. A canvas, a wall, privately and publicly owned, for everyone to see, shown and covered up.

This is a set of five photos from a much larger set that will be shown soon at a fabulous show shown in the source! A group show by the name “F.R.E.S.H.” taking place at Altered Aesthetics in MPLS, MN.

Guerrilla art, hip-hop, punk rock, murals and more, F.R.E.S.H. will take a look at the origins, expressions and effects of street art as it has occurred in and beyond the gallery walls.

Opening will feature a LIVE PAINTING! by Rogue Citizen. Be sure to come and watch and place your bid on this silent auctioned one of a kind artwork!!

I’m sure there’s other artists there too, but our loyalty is with the K! Covered up graffiti is a wild thing to photograph. What a wild thing to collect. Brief upon it here! Such excellence.
