BIRDS OF A FEATHER VIA MOCA

Make of it what you will. Nicely filmed, great can control. The theme ? Well I guess it's the conquering of Native Americans by industrialisation/capitalism, can't help thinking the stereotyped Native American was probably raped and murdered by those arriving on the train, yeehaa !. Ironic that this went over the top of Blu's "censored"coffin draped dollar bills. I guess the slaughter of the innocent is deemed acceptable by Deitch when viewed through the rose tinted specs of history.  A bit of an embarrassment from all involved. Unless of course, the previous mural starts to bleed through and merge with this one. In which case it would be spot on.

Artists Lee Quinones, Abel, Cern, FUTURA, Loomit, Push, RISK and Sano document the creation of their monumental artwork "Birds Of A Feather" (2011).

Created for Art in the Streets at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, April 17--August 8, 2011. Video produced by MOCA in collaboration with TEAM G.
