Just got back from the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Oaxaca where a street art exhibition has gone up including artists: How & Nosm, Swoon, Saner, RETNA, and Lapiztola. It was an amazing exhibition, but what I found to be the best aspect was that once you leave the museum and meander around the abounding streets, you run into numerous other works by these artists in their raw, natural environment. My favorite aspect about street artists is their versatility in that their work can have a place in the gallery, but also, more importantly, their work exists in the streets, for the public.
