ABOUT THE 'ART IN THE STREETS' EXHIBITION
The Museum of Contemporary Art presented 'Art in the Streets', the first major U.S. museum exhibition of the history of graffiti and street art, from April 17-August 8, 2011, at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The exhibition traced the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become, concentrating on key cities where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. 'Art in the Streets' showcased installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York), Lee Quiñones (New York), Futura (New York), Margaret Kilgallen (San Francisco), Swoon (New York), Shepard Fairey (Los Angeles), Os Gemeos (São Paulo), and JR (Paris). MOCA’s exhibition emphasized Los Angeles’ role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. The exhibition featured projects by influential Los Angeles-based artists such as Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK.
