Beyond the Streets, opened in a sprawling industrial space in Downtown Los Angeles, about a half-mile from Union Station. The curator, Roger Gastman, is not only a collector, graffiti historian, and urban anthropologist – he also was co-curator of MoCA’s Art in the Streets 7 years ago.

Just as MoCA’s 2011 exhibition brought street art’s energy into a museum, the Beyond the Streets extravaganza brings museum-quality presentation to street art. It’s an absolute must-see exhibition that runs through July 6.
