REVOK and ANGEL Present NOCTURNE
Graffiti Legend and Renowned Designer Premiere Book Set
At Art In The Streets Exhibition
(April, 13, 2011 – Los Angeles) Intersecting at the crossroads of skateboarding and graffiti, street art icon, REVOK, and celebrated designer, Angel Cabada, collaborate on a limited two-book set to premiere during the Art In The Streets exhibition at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles. Inspired by the underground activities of skateboarders and street artists, Nocturne looks behind the curtain, exposing a world of nightlife and criminal mischief through compelling imagery and candid photography.
Based in Los Angeles, REVOK and Cabada share a longstanding friendship and hold mutual respect for each others work. “Although REVOK and I come from different artistic backgrounds, there’s a very natural parallel between skateboarding and graffiti that hasn’t been deeply explored,” says Cabada.
With only 150 units printed, Nocturne is a two book, softbound collection including large and medium format posters, newsprint photo collages and a wool ski mask packaged in a custom bound box.
Nocturne will be on display April 17 through August 8, 2011 at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles.
