To celebrate Ed’s birthday, we headed over to MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary Building to see one of the coolest exhibitions ever, Art in the Streets. This show is HUGE and it shows just how far street art has come from back in the day when people just called it “grafitti” (It’s so much more!). If you really wanna get a good look inside the people who’ve helped catapult the Street Art movement, check out the documentary “Exit Through The Gift Shop” – you won’t be disappointed.
Here are a few highlights!
Hard to see, but this is me standing in front of a bunch of teensy pictures of grafitti art on trains.
Ed and Ruby in front of one of the Shepard Fairey walls
(Does something look familiar about his work? You probably know him from this hugely popular poster!)
Banksy
Mister Cartoon’s Low Rider Ice Cream Truck
Day-Glo room
Fun alley
Spray paint retrospective!
God Save the Queen!
And finally … after all that art … over-stimulation!
Its really tough to put into words what an impact that exhibition has, even if you wouldn’t consider yourself a street art enthusiast. You should see it in person, too!
