Street Cred @ Pasadena Museum of California Art
The Pasadena Museum of California Art is currently hosting an exhibition dedicated to Los Angeles’ own street art movement. Entitled, “Street Cred: Graffiti Art from Concrete to Canvas”, the display features the work of various artists who represent a broad range of genres within the community, from letter-based formalism to Surrealism. Co-curated by Steve Grody and PMCA’s Exhibition Manager Shirlae Cheng-Lifshin, the exhibit includes several of Grody’s photographs from the crucial years of the graffiti scene and features the work of many prominent street artists including ANGST, DASH 2000, Alex Kizu, Jose Lopez, PUSH, RISK, Jeff Soto, RETNA and more. “Street Cred: Graffiti Art from Concrete to Canvas” will be on display from May 15 to September 4.

Thanks to Alex Pardee's Facebook, I've found this! What an amazing art show! Just the idea to make an exhibition about the Black rabbit of Inle, a character of Richard Adam's "Watership Down", is pure brilliancy! Then look at the list of artists. We have Alex Pardee, Ron English, Linkin Park's Joe Hahn, Jersey Joe Rime, Revok, Retna, Dave Flores ATC, Jeff Soto, Dan May, Tony Curanaj, Pete Wentz, Travie McCoy, etc. This show just has to be good!
EDIT: As the opening was yesterday, I will try to find some more pictures and post them here.
