Art in the Streets...

On the absolute last day possible in LA, I made it to the Art in the Streets exhibit at the MOCA Geffen. After getting mochi ice cream at Mikawaya with my sister, we made it through a rather fast moving line to be greeted by Roa animals at the entrance.

There was an entire installation area of possible graff scenes.

The Banksy work covered a good sized corner of the gallery with plenty of eye candy.

Os Gemeos had a colorful, gravity defying installation.

I loved the alphabet in every style by Risk.

My favorite section was the walls covered in Retna's signature calligraphy.

This exhibit is moving to New York at the end of March next year.

world's first street art disaster movie...

I was rather sad to have missed the extravaganza that was opening night for Banksy's film. Then I forgot about it a bit since it takes a minor amount of effort to find specific theaters that play independent movies. My friend, Mr Nicko, reminded me about the film after he went to see it. My mission this weekend was to see this movie, and my boyfriend's mission was to make it as difficult as possible, but it was all fun in the end.

I loved Banksy before, but I'm head over heels for his genius now. The movie was a fun statement on street art, filled with eye candy of course. The way the story line unfolded was so clever. Much admiration.
