Art In The Streets at MOCA 2011:FEMALE STREET ART*

I saw this show twice. The first time, I was too visually stimulated... and i was a little hungry too....


The show overall, is excellent. graffiti- cool. did i feel cooler seeing it, ? definitely. It was quite overwhelming at times, because there was a lot of people at the show.... however, my favoritest thing about the show was that never before had I ever seen such an eclectic mix of people at a museum all at once. Young kids to older folks. All ages. All races. All rhythms and styles.

HIGHLIGHTS for me:The Banksy corner- the one that reminds of Rodney King beating- in LA. march like an Egyptian pick-it sign, the big ass church window too-- i wonder if its a reference to Damien Hirst's butterfly church windows in Beverly Hills a couple years ago?

oh oh oh and i REALLY LOVED the "COSMIC ROOM"- that was intense.... its super cool! way unexpected.... and last but not least the lowrider car and the tricked out candy ice cream truck by mr cartoon.... i dunno maybe im biased? .. i think its a chicano thing*

the wow wall was pretty wow too, and the wall covered in doors and the houses on the side walls--- and then and then and then.....

heres a video of the exhibit:
