IOU Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 A friend of mine got to peep some of Retna's work and he was saying that he's working on two story high canvasses. Should be interesting for sure. Hopefully this will inspire some new walls around Los Angeles and maybe get the fucking city leaders off our nut sacks. Can't even tell you how many walls have been lost(legal and illegal) because of their hate for graffiti. This shit goes just beyond keeping it the streets at this point. Shit is retarded.

substanceOVERhype Posted April 10, 2011 Share Posted April 10, 2011 "Art in the Streets" I don't get what's so wrong and arrogant about the title. Seems straightforward to me. Art in the Streets will showcase installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York) It's the message the show is conveying, along with the accompanied book and it's title. Sorry if I wasn't clear before. But whatever Im over it at this point, I got my points out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dignan Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 i dont like shep but at least he did "street art" wouldn't it have been nice if when templeton was asked to be in this show he would have politely declined with a "sorry, i'm not a street artist"?

mackfatsoe Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 j deitch is a fuckboy and I do not like him I'm not knocking participants but this is pretty sure to be unsatisfying as an art show, And as some sort of "graffiti retrospective" teen witch......haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poesia [ ] T Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 "I was asked to respond to an open letter about all the controversy surrounding the MOCA street art show. My take on this whole conversation is this show has everyones emotions fired up which is good. I was not invited to take part in this show. I waited till the last minute and called moca up myself. It worked in my favor but this show is not an egalitarian show that is fair. It is a show of those who have made a mark on a street level and in the art world. With that said I agree there are many very powerful contributors like skept, heaven, hex to name a few from the original la graff scene that are not in the show There is an art school croud waiting to see there favorites also that they may not see, so the politics of the museum world are strange to say the least. It shows how removed everyone is from the streets. I will also say there is nobody in the show who doesn’t deserve to be, and there are some masterful works by some of the strongest street graffiti artist and that is great to see. With All the drama surrounding the show I feel that people are not aware how the fine art world works. It means a lot of people need to work harder and produce more meaningful work. As far as the question of censorship I haven’t experienced any but the question stems from the destruction of blues mural. Obviously it is screwed to remove some ones art but does anyone realize there is a veterans hospital across the street? I’m all for telling the public how evil the system is but this is a no brainer. I don’t think the poor who have lost limbs and loved ones need to be reminded every time they go to see there Dr that America makes money off there dead body’s. The whole thing was miss managed but it also shows how ready people in LA are to hate blame and talk shit over issues that they don’t inform themselves with. Come on LA just do your work. I Have put more work in than any of you & I’m in the same boat with all of you. Just do your work and try to mean what you say. Peace out and I love LA!"

Fist 666 Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i view this as an opportunity to see some really great art. do i give a fuck about the other details? not so much. i'll be in LA for a couple days this summer so i might actually get a chance to check it out, and not worry about anyone's street cred, roots, history, haircut, scene points, or other bullshit that lots of people think have to accommodate art.

TheoHuxtable.. Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 people love to moan on here, if this show was in the UK I would go to it without a second thought. They do it to sound cool like "I would never go to an art show" worried about what everyone might think of them. Insecure and shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moist Cooter Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 Cope2 speaks only in really long run-on sentences though and thats how you know its him and its legit but they really should have given him a spot in the show but Im glad he ll still be there and at least his some of his friends are in there too and that's whats up! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poesia [ ] T Posted April 13, 2011 Author Share Posted April 13, 2011 "It's been a long while since i posted anything on here but felt compelled to do so now....I have had the pleasure of seeing what has been going on inside the MOCA walls for the past many days and I gladly will go on record and say that this show is 100% HISTORIC!....As far as anything Graffiti or Street Art related there has never been such a collection of talent under one roof...EVER! While of course it's not 100% complete or inclusive I don't think it's meant to be but it does a beautiful job of telling the story of Graffiti from it's roots to current day...Kudos to Deitch and Co!.....the giant space is so jam packed with eye searing visuals it is overwhelming and will definitely warrant repeat viewings....The LA version of Mcgee ESPO REAS Street Market blows the New York classic exhibition out of the water! it's like the ultimate Disney Ride for art vandals....mind blowing detail!....The Banksy room is retarded fresh with a few new large canvases and some new re-workings of classic images...my favorite so far that I will trade my mother in for if I could is a giant Indian "No Trespassing" on wood that is fantastic! similar to the one he did in San Fran I believe but this time the Indian is standing....the man is no dummy and more than holds his own in a space full of art Kings...The Os Gemeos room is classic Os Gemeos with a few stunning stunning pieces....They have also turned the outside box office cube building into a giant double faced classic Gemeos Balaclava man that is fresh and the kicker is what they are building inside the chain link fence on top of the guys head...will not spoil it. The Basquiat that is hanging in the storefront recreation of the legendary Fun Gallery might be one of the rawest Basquiats I have ever seen and also might be one of my favorites of his that I have never seen before. all that being said I do think that Phil Frost is sadly missing from this exhibit and is a crucial link that cannot be overlooked....hopefully they will include him in the NYC version of the show...and oh yeah...can't believe that BLU is not inside the building at all?!! f**ked.....in two days history will be made!! and i urge anyone that was born between 1965 and 1995 to make a pilgrimage to this ART MECCA!!!!" off some blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
