Went to the opening reception of "Elements of Hip Hop: The Art of a Movement" at the African American Art and Culture Complex today. The event featured improvisational artwork (graffiti artists were painting the walls throughout the night), b-boy battles, break dance competitions, and all the old school hip hop and r&b on rotation to make you nostalgic for middle school dances.
One exhibit that stood out was that for SpacEKrafT, an audio-visual experience designed for travel or operation in space beyond the earth's atmosphere or in orbit around the earth. (::shrugs::). These guys are not to be confused with SpaceKraft, the world's leading supplier for liquid semi-bulk packaging, but are rather musical artists in their own right (albeit, the music they produce requires a very acquired taste). What was cool about their little exhibit was how they let all their guests take a part in painting their walls.
Everyone else did all the drawing. The best I could do was color. I mean, check out that sick shading job I did with the gray in that little box.
Okay, I lie. It only did that because the marker was messed up.
damn, i need to go to more of these kinds of events. it sucks that san bernardino county will rarely ever put on these kinds of events.
