Art in The Streets @ MOCA Los Angeles

After much controversy, criticism and name calling, 'Art in the Streets' opens at MOCA. Like a sucker fish trailing a shark, Street Art will always have criticism at it's back. Fortunately, this disparagement is what drives the work of so many artists that use the street as canvas. Here lies an art form that needs no galleries, dealers, white walls or good critique to be seen or praised. Recent transplant Jeffrey Deitch and Associate Curators Roger Gastman and Aaron Rose have created here, the first major museum survey of street art from the 1970's to today. Enjoy...
