Moca's Street Art & Masses & Moi

So I went to Moca's street art retrospective and to make my review short: It was a mass spectacle with hundreds of guests streaming in from all sides, which put me off first but then saved the day. The exhibit was too stifled, glossy, selective, somewhat plastic fantastic. The people brought back the life of the streets, gave the whole thing power and vibrancy.



 



 
My snaps show the unconscious communication between spectator and object, a cool, somewhat even magical interaction. The paintings effectively called for movement. Some just called for color, or this blurp in time...






Others watched to be watched...

 ... and some stuff was just fantastic fun.



 ... and many spectators were artful themselves.

 
I can't help it, I have this thing with mirrors...... this mirror plastered walk way was a dream come true.
