Sunsrt & St. Marks - artwork from New York and Los Angeles

Capla Kesting Fine Art, in association with the Standard Downtown Art
Series, is pleased to announce the exhibition of their critically acclaimed
group show, Sunset & St. Marks in Los Angeles. This exhibition will take
place at the Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles from November 2,
2006 until November 9, 2006. An opening reception will take place at 6:00pm
to 10:00pm on Thursday November 2nd.

Long regarded as rival cities, New York and Los Angeles have come to
symbolize the ultimate American binary opposition: cold clouds versus warm
sun, brutal honesty versus a polished veneer of insincerity, walking versus
driving, East Coast versus West Coast. In spite of this false dichotomy, and
perhaps because of it, Sunset & St. Marks presents an offering of the
youngest and brightest talents of both scenes presented together. Artists
included in this show are:

Hillary Amborn, Edwardo Benedeto, Colin Burns, Lincoln Capla, Keith
Coleman, Deedee Cheriel, Bratner Deatley, Daniel Edwards, Jonny Fenix,
Jason Douglas Griffin, David Hochbaum, Ara Jo, Martina Kubiyini, Travis
Lindquist, Brian Leo, Shawn Bishop-Leo, Clint Peterson, Jennifer Sanchez,
GoldMine ShitHouse, David Turley, Kevin Willis Chet Zar.

Also included in this exhibition is the headline-stealing piece, 'Monument to
Pro-Life: The Birth of Sean Preston' by acclaimed sculptor Daniel Edwards.
The controversial sculpture depicts a life-sized Britney Spears giving birth to
her first child. This sculpture grabbed headlines nationwide and now has its
first west coast viewing in Sunset & St. Marks. Regarding this piece,
Edwards explains that it symbolized Spears' decision to put childbirth ahead
of her career. Although Britney Spears actually had a caesarean section this
sculpture still continues to be the centerpiece of many conversations.

Standard Hotel Downtown is located at 550 South Flower Street in Downtown
Los Angeles. The Standard Downtown Art Series in a revolving variety of
exhibitions at the hotel that showcase some of the best talent the artworld
has to offer. For more on the Standard, visit their site at:
