Art In the Streets @ MOCA

Art In the Streets @ MOCA Geffen Contemporary

Saturday I finally made my way down to see the exhibit. I was under the impression that the works were on the outside in the parking lot area and surrounding areas. Well it's true that there is a few pieces but that was just the tip of the iceberg. After paying the $10 (definitely worth it) I headed inside to see what MOCA had to offer. From a few friends that went I only knew that Banksy, Shepard Fairey and JR were in it. But there was so much more I wasn't expecting, New Yorks' Haze, a Basquiat, Ed Templeton photos, Raymond Pettibon flyers, short film by Spike Jonze, Mark Gonzalez , sheesh they even had Terry Richardson and Keith Haring. There is much more that I'm forgetting too oh like a guy names Roa. And we're not talking one are two pieces by these people but whole walls or sections. Please take the time and do yourself a favor and go! I not a fan of the graffiti that plagues the sides of liquor stores but murals and pieces like this I do...

Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die @ the Subliminal Projects Gallery

Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die @ the Subliminal Projects Gallery March 2011 Last night was the opening for the newest show at Subliminal "Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die".  It's a collection of photos, flyers and art inspired by the late 70's and early 80's punk rock scene. Ed Colver and Glen E. Friedman should need no introductions, their pics grace the covers of  many albums of hardcore legends (Black Flag, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat...). The same goes for Raymond Pettibon and all his works for SST and bands like Sonic Youths' Goo. Shepard Fairey used another Glen photo for his next punk tribute of Henry Rollins.  Jenny Luna and Weston Smith were also contributors, their pictures were ones that I grew up with but long had forgotten the names of those that took them... Show started last night and runs through March 26th (FREE too)... Subliminal Projects Gallery SUBLIMINAL PROJECTS GALLERY 1331 W Sunset Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90026 Raymond Pettib
