Preview: Viva La Revolucion @ MCASD

Viva La Revolucion – Installation View

AM headed down to San Diego on Friday morning to catch the press preview of Viva La Revolucion at MCASD (check out our street coverage here). It was great to wander around the Jacobs Building and get a sneak peek of everything the artists have been working on indoors after seeing all the amazing pieces that have been popping up on the streets of the city. Pedro Alonzo, the exhibition’s curator, led a talk around the museum and spoke about the different artists and their work. Shepard Fairey, David Ellis, Stephan Doitschinoff aka Calma, Dzine, William Cordova, the Date Farmers and more were all on hand, either finishing up their pieces or talking about them to the crowd.

We won’t give everything away in case you’re going to tonight’s preview, but we do have a few exclusive images to share after the jump.

Pedro Alonzo talks about osgemeos and their work. The wood piece behind Pedro was constructed using leftovers from Swoon’s installation.
