If you're in the Los Angeles area, you better get your arse to Art in The Streets. It's a wonderland of awesome. Almost an overload even - graffiti bouncing from every wall, with (nearly) every (mostly american and male) street artist you've ever given a poop about. Plus a comprehensive breakdown of the artforms history, including honorable mentions of graffiti's crossovers into rap, the skater culture, punk, gang affiliates etc etc etc.
Outside of the streets, and inside of museum walls, street art changes context and becomes a BIT MUCH really, all on top of one another like that. But it's 'bit muchness' is what makes this exhibit a special kind of feast, and definitely worth making the schlep downtown for. If your not in L.A , boo hoo for you, and enjoy these photos instead.
