Exclusive: MOCA's 'Art in the Streets' Artist Roll Call

Let's see, Teen Witch, Revolt, Rovk, Revs, etc. These are the artists responsible for the "most significant art movement" since the 60s as Deitch is trying to claim? LMAO

BLU Why is it not in this exhibition?The art of the street would there be limits to freedom of expression?The art market would he hard to integrate the work of producing meaning, beyond the agreed upon?

The episode in December 2010 at MOCA is quickly evacuated, I think …http://next.liberation.fr/cult...

I’ll go see the work of BLU in the streets, keep your tools speculation museumFor more news, soon: http://ecritique-revue.over-bl...

A friend said that he can't wait to see tag-banging era stuff at the museum....I think that the tag-baging era will never make it to the museums....cuz then some drama might occur! But you never know.... Tag-banger era was closely affiliated if not only happened cuz of the gang wars ...racial tensions among gangs in the nineties was unlike nothing ever seen....Growing up in the LBC I had to watch my as_ just to get to school…even though I had nothing to do with that shi_, (thought my influence by graff art was got me to pursue my carrier as a professional artist), that came with the environment at the point in time....honestly BANSKY and OBEY and all this 50+ graff artists shown at MOCA would had not survived the tag bang era...they would have been caped! I don't take anything from all this 50+ artists since in their own right have done some extraordinary cultural changes! Tag Bagging era was a testament of people wanting to voice their mark even when in doing so their life was at stake and would not shy from taking others life just to make their mark!

What about the muralist, Blue Sky and his ground breaking 50 foot by 75 "Tunnelvision" mural from 1975 who inspired so many all over the world? See BlueSkyArt.com or http://www.blueskyart.com/arti...

Who was left off that list? Let us know ... ... http://moca-latte.org

Will Angel Ortiz get any mention at all?

what?! no Man One!!!

Dash Snow??? come on...

The show's most authentic piece stands to be the unsanctioned KATSU tag that got buffed out in a couple of days.

Imagine the bullshit they're going to sell in the gift shop.

Happy to not see Mr.Brainwash's name in there

'Boycotting' the show to aid Blu's cause is ridiculous. It was a commissioned piece, MOCA were entirely within their rights to buff it if they didn't think it was appropriate. I think a lot of so called streets artists try and be controversial with their work before thinking why they want to be controversial. I personally didn't think Blu's piece was that great to start with. As for the show being in an art institution, it does take the work out of the context it was intended to be in, but isn't any street art or street artist's solo show the same? What's the difference between heading to this show as opposed to heading down to a ROA or D*Face's solo shows that are, or have been in LA recently.Street art is an important movement in modern art history, and I think it is right that it should be celebrated and be given the status that putting it in such an institution provides. Afterall Shepard Fairey and Banksy have both had museum shows in the past.I think the artists that have 'boycotted' the show have missed a big opportunity to have their work shown in an environment that could potential be a large benchmark in their career, and street art as a whole.

I looked around your website and found your blog is excellent. There are a lot of info for me to study, thanks for your great share. merchant cash advance

No complaints about LA Weekly "censoring" my posts? I'd have more respect for a mural that cried about "Obama forsaking us", since the hero of street artists has basically proven to be Bush III.

I heard deska was gonna be there too, I guess not.cause they left him.out.of the list

Listen to the whining about a mural getting "painted out." A mural on private property that was PAID for by a major institution. Who the hell cares? Since when did all you "street artist" fanboys get such a sensitive, overly-precious, martyr syndrome going? Move on with your lives, people.

putting "street art" in a museum is like pitting an animal in a cage. This is an "art" zoo, completely out of context.

No SINER LTS???

Banksy IS in the show, and MOCA covered up BLU's piece out of respect to the Veteran's Monument that faced that wall. The mural was dope, but was just in bad taste from where it stood.

Hi I looked at the List and you have SJK 161 ,which is really SJK171 ......

PUSH and OG ABEL are also part of the show.

JDI KREW!!!!!! DUART and JAW have been doing some pretty impressive ILLEGAL ROLLERS across LA!!!

I heard BETA SCANNERS will be there as well! NOT!

Cali Killa!!!!!

Septerhed!

Banksy, BAST, Phil Frost, Faile, Jose Parla, D*Face, Buff Monster, and MBW are all heroes for boycotting this show to show their support for BLU

No Banksy either. Right on Banksy!!!

Oh, and the LA Weekly has their nose so far up Deitch's ass that they will never report truthfully on the BLU censorship issue.

The censorship of the BLU mural is all you need to know about this show. Any institution too gutless to deal with "controversy" has no business profiting on a show about street art and graffiti, which is all about controversy. BOYCOTT.

BOYCOTT for BLU censorship.

WHAT ABOUT THE BUFF MONSTER?

NO BLU?
