ARTE: Street Art x Los Angeles Pt 2

We visited the Graff Lab this weekend, there were some artists working the walls when we arrived.  If you don't know or haven't visited the Graff Lab than it is a hub for any and every street artist, many travel from all points of the globe to come and work the walls.  Its like an urban amusement park for the graffiti scene.  Its also very connected to its surrounding community and they were having a Thrill-a-thon as we were leaving.

While were on the subject of Street Art we'd also like to acknowledge the LA Times piece on MOCA LA announcing a major Street Art Retrospective at Geffen Contemporary in 2011.  LA artist Mister Cartoon's Ice Cream truck shown below will be included in the exhibition.

ARTE: Nathaniel Ward

We met photographer Nathaniel Ward when he was showing at Scope in Miami during Art Basel 09.  He sent us an email the other day and has a show that opened recently on the Upper Eaststide, NYC.  Check After the Women of Paradise Road up at the wild project.  Exhibition/Installation curated by Mr. & Mrs. Amani Olu.  The exhibition is on view until October 2.

ARTE: Jennifer Rubell

Lady Gaga donned a meat dress again, by designer Franc Fernandez.  It got us wandering what an "aftermath" collaboration with Jennifer Rubell would spawn.  We enjoyed her Old Fashioned installation at last year's Art Basel Miami.

We enjoyed our Old Fashioned with artist Fab 5 Freddy at the Rubell Family Collection in Miami

Creation Installation

Courage Installation

ARTE: TUPAC

We'd like to remember Tupac Shakur, he meant a lot to my generation.  We have to give it to his mother Afeni for keeping his memory alive & legacy in tact.   June 16, 1971 - September 13, 1996

Sculpture of Tupac by Paolo Chiasera in Germany.

Dear Mama was added to the Library of Congress this year.

ARTE: Dennis Hopper @ MOCA

It is rare for a multi-talented, multi disciplined artist to be sophisticated in all mediums.  Dennis Hopper proves that as an artist if you submit to being the student you can master the arts.  Who cares if the art world gets the memo late, his exhibit at MOCA proves that they have FINALLY gotten it and him. Its up until 9/26/10 so peep it.
