Our field trip to MOCA is coming up in a few days...
The LA Times had an article on 4/20/11... Seems the LAPD has noticed an uptick in tagging activity and vandalism in the Little Tokyo area, adjacent to the MOCA "Art in the Streets" exhibit that just opened on Sunday. They are attributing the increase of graffiti to the theory that out-of-towners are coming in and putting up their own street art pieces outside the Geffen. Last Friday, two French nationals were detained...they had buckets of grout and pieces of tile on them. The LAPD believes one of them may have been the Space Invader artist, featured on the "Exit Through the Gift Shop"movie.
If you are attending this event Friday, keep your eyes open as you drive up, to see if you can spot any interesting street art on the areas outside of the gallery!
