Radical Graffiti Chic
Drive behind the Geffen Contemporary, an art museum in downtown Los Angeles, and you will notice that it has painted over the graffiti scrawled on its back wall. Ordinarily, that wouldnt be surprising; the Geffens neighbors also maintain constant vigilance against graffiti vandalism. But beginning in April, the Geffena satellite of L.A.s Museum of Contemporary Artwill host what MOCA proudly bills as Americas first major museum survey of street art, a euphemism for graffiti. Graffiti, it turns out, is something that MOCA celebrates only on other peoples property, not on its own.Long, but an interesting read... Posted by: tu3031 2011-05-25 |
