Art_In_The_Streets

Art in the streets, the current show at MOCA in Los Angeles is creating quite a stir. It is evoking long held points of view about the validity of graffiti as an acceptable art form. The New York Times is writing articles about the show and every little independent newspaper has something to say. I think when an art show drums up some controversy then it's a success. It's making us think, taking us out of our comfort zone and forcing us to question what we know. For me this is by far the greatest art show of the year. The sheer volume and well choreographed collection made me feel overwhelmed like going to disneyland and feeling like you missed something important. I will be visiting this show over and over. It was simply AWESOME!

Here are some of my favorites...Warning....this is a looooong post...
