OUTSIDE IN is a celebratory and historical look at street art through the lens of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s groundbreaking exhibition Art in the Streets. The film features renowned artists Shepard Fairey, Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Martha Cooper, Invader to name a few. Director Alex Stapleton (Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) documents the artist’s creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists’ evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution.

ABOUT THE ART IN THE STREETS EXHIBITION
The Museum of Contemporary Art presents Art in the Streets, the first major U.S. museum exhibition of the history of graffiti and street art, April 17 through August 8, 2011, at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA. The exhibition will trace the development of graffiti and street art from the 1970s to the global movement it has become today, concentrating on key cities where a unique visual language or attitude has evolved. Following MOCA’s presentation, the exhibition will travel to the Brooklyn Museum, where it will be on view March 30–July 8, 2012.

Art in the Streets will showcase installations by 50 of the most dynamic artists from the graffiti and street art community, including Fab 5 Freddy (New York), Lee Quiñones (New York), Futura (New York), Margaret Kilgallen (San Francisco), Swoon (New York), Shepard Fairey (Los Angeles), Os Gemeos (São Paulo), and JR (Paris). MOCA’s exhibition will emphasize Los Angeles’ role in the evolution of graffiti and street art, with special sections dedicated to cholo graffiti and Dogtown skateboard culture. The exhibition will feature projects by influential Los Angeles-based artists such as Craig R. Stecyk III, Chaz Bojórquez, Mister Cartoon, RETNA, SABER, REVOK, and RISK.

-Now let’s take over the art world!

Graffiti represents an extremely young global underground subculture, it’s the root of modern guerilla marketing and the core inspiration behind street art. This episode of “Crack and Shine” highlights Katsu, a graffiti vandal active in NYC. Katsu’s campaign is unique within the graffiti world because while most vandals influence with traditional street tagging and murals, Katsu uses deeper conceptual strategies to promote the movement.

“Santiago * Making a false Mode2” - 2004.
“The idea of this experiment was to ask one of the best painter deco cinema, Santiago,
broke the reproduction of masterpiece, to imitate one of the walls, which many consider
a classic graffiti artist Mode2 and to share his impressions. Santiago was immediately
excited about the challenge, especially since I had asked him to reproduce it with brushes
and not with spray paint or airbrush. I think he took three or four days to do this reproduction.
The first two days, I thought it could not be done, that the rendering was not good ... Then slowly,
he picked up his values​​, playing with layers of varnish, the texture of the canvas, and last
night finally appeared similar to that made ​​famous the original painting. Me stating that it
could go even further, but it was another job, “copied false”, whereas here the issue was
to share a way to paint and restore the energy of graffiti . “
Google translated.
