CARTWHEEL Preview: One Night Only! “Under Construction” Group Mural/Graffiti Show

The night of his opening at Coagula, Gronk and his friend Tanner Goldbeck told me about this amazing tree that was growing through cement in an abandoned building downtown, it somehow found enough dirt for its root and is absorbing moisture through the empty elevator shaft.  Gronk excitedly called it the “Little Tree that Could.” That tree is just one of the stars in Under Construction, a one night only show February 16 at 353 S Broadway where Eyeone, Kozem, Gronk,  Adict, ACME, Richard McDowell, Owen, EricBMW, Codak, Swank, Vyal, Lawrence Mota and Tanner are providing a rare opportunity to dig into the downtown renovations and meet up with artists painting and paying rent in L.A.

The fourth floor of the building has been transformed into a street art gallery. Attendees should wear flat shoes: Under Construction is up four flights of stairs and there is no elevator. Check out these photos from Tanner showing the works in progress.

And a polite reminder to freelance graffiti enthusiasts: Please respect the building and the art.
