As Issued: Art + Design Bookstore (www.asissued.com) announces the opening of an exhibition of new work by the street collective Cat Culton Saturday, May 24 at 7pm.

Based out of Los Angeles, Cat Cult embraces the varying iconic identities that the cat has held across history and plays upon it in fun and ironic ways throughout the urban environment. Throughout time, the cat has consistently occupied a place in the imagination of various cultures, spanning ancient Egyptian worship, the occultist black cat, the contemporary meme LOLCAT, and much more. The mythology surrounding cats defies context, giving ample material for Cat Cult to explore.

The show at As Issued will include collaborations between a chosen selection of these artists as well as a lineup presently unknown to the gallery.
