In the newest issue of Juxtapoz Magazine (April 2011) Shepard Fairey is interviewing Jeffrey Deitch, Roger Gastman, and Aaron Rose about curating the show "Art in the Streets" at the MOCA in Los Angeles. The show is about the rise of graffiti and street art. Here are some excerpts:
"What happened in the 1990's, and there are a bunch of catalysts, was that streetwear clothing and bands like the Beastie Boys, who were punk and hip-hop together, unified the West and East Coast scenes into a nationwide scene of street culture."
"Thrasher Magazine declared Public Enemy the new punk rock." "If you were into Black Flag, you were into the Beastie Boys."
"So you both reference streetwear and the Beastie Boys, and I got into punk rock in the late 1980's while in grade school, then into straight-edge hardcore in the early 1990's.........."
That's some big art world respect! As it should be.(y)
