[...] Shark finning involves fishermen hooking a shark while the fish is in the water and then loading it onto the boat. Once on the boat, the shark is restrained while its fins are sliced off one by one. Still alive, but limbless, the shark is thrown back into the water. What follows is a slow and likely agonizing death for the shark. The fish will either starve, drown, or be slowly eaten by other fish. PangeaSeed is using all its resources to smoke this bastard out of its hole and force it into the global spotlight. This past Friday, September 23rd the organization partnered with Hi-Fructose web editor Ken Harman's "Spoke Art" gallery in San Francisco and debuted their first U.S. art exhibit. The show exhibits a variety of art created by an eclectic group of artists: Dave Kinsey, Josh Keyes, Jeff Soto, Jim Phillips, Rhys Cooper, Brad Klausen, Natsuki Wakita, Shark Toof, Akinori Oishi, Mike Stilkey, Rah Akaishi, Faunagraphic, Tim McDonagh, Clint Wilson, Mario Wagner, John Fellows, Spencer Keeton Cunningham, Matt Dye, Yoh Nagao, Wrecks/Nao Harada, Cupco, Paul Chatem, Skount, Koji Harmon, Jessica Ward, Michael Glinski-Gale Hart, Skinner, Claudio Ethos, Alison Sommers, Nathan Spoor, Dan May, Roland Tamayo, Ingri Haraldsen, Jen Lobo, John Malloy, Josh Hart, Kaitlin Beckett, Ben Wilson, Serge Gay Jr., Tapecat and Kevin Earl Taylor.
