Hub on Wheels and the Mayor's Cup

Here are a couple of photos from Sunday. I did Hub on Wheels and then went back downtown to see the men's and women's races.

Graffiti and Contemporary Art Panel Discussion at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

I can't got to this, but you should.

Graffiti and Contemporary Art | Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Roger Gastman, author and associate curator of “Art on the Streets,” Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art
Jen Mergel, Robert L. Beal, Enid L. Beal and Bruce A. Beal Senior Curator of Contemporary Art
Caleb Neelon, artist and author
Risk, artist

Explore graffiti’s dynamic history, from its underground origins to its mainstream emergence. Artist Risk discusses his work and the evolution of graffiti as an art form in Los Angeles and worldwide. Caleb Neelon and Roger Gastman discuss their new book, The History of American Graffiti, examining graffiti’s place in the realm of contemporary art. As its context shifts from street to museum, Jen Mergel asks speakers about shifting perceptions of graffiti, from unpopular to popular, illegal to celebrated, over the past 40 years.

Book signing with Neelon and Gastman follows.

Be sure to catch a screening of the film Wild Style (1983) as part of our Evolution of Graffiti day.

I continue to draw in preparation for HPOS and JPOS
