MARTHA COOPER SHOOTS JR

Worth the headline alone, shame it wasn't in Dallas.

From Martha Cooper
JR pulled an all nighter working from midnight until 8:00am installing another of his humongous photo murals. Like the Houston Street wall, the image is from his Native American Standing Rock Nation project in North and South Dakota. The location shares a wall with my Shepard Fairey Defiant Youth colab. It also faces the parking lot on Grand directly opposite Henry Chalfant’s fabled studio where writers used to hang out for hours checking out Henry’s latest subway graffiti photos. Another JR installation is around the corner on Wooster.

Our friends at VNA went out to LA and bumped into fairy godmother of Graff Martha Cooper setting up her bit of the Art In The Streets exhibition at MOCA.

MARTHA COOPER : REMIX

Some terrific shots from Carmichael's "Martha Cooper Remix" show over on Arrested Motion. Nice to see some "faces" out in support of perhaps one of the most important photographers of our generation and culture. Martha's been busy of late and the Art in the Streets show is sure to raise her profile further. It's obvious from the shots that she's far more than a simple documentarian as she's often been promoted as in the past.

Interesting concept in honour of one of the worlds leading documentarians of Graffiti from Carmichael Gallery. Some legendary names attached to the project. Great work pulling it off.
