Artist Mear One Offers Black Friday Alternative to Shopping Frenzy
Loading...
Uploaded by uprisingradio on Nov 23, 2011
Local supporters of "Buy Nothing Day" (Black Friday) can celebrate it by consuming, not appliances and products, but the art of Mear One at the opening night of his new show, Graffic Discourse at the Townhouse Gallery in Venice. LA based artist Mear One has been making graffiti influenced, politically charged work since long before the Occupy Wall Street movement captured the attention of America, and it is a perfect compliment to the current national mood. The Santa Cruz, California born artist is known for a 2004 series of "anti-war, anti-Bush" pieces done in collaboration with artists Shepard Fairy and Robbie Conal under the title, "Be the Revolution." Mear One describes Graffic Discourse, running from November 25th to December 18th, as a "nutritional necessity that can improve your perception and help you discover you're not alone in a once politically mundane Amerikkka. "
Uprising host Sonali Kolhatkar spoke with Mear One on November 23, 2011 about his art, politics, and Black Friday show.
