This is Modern Art

By Idris Goodwin & Kevin Coval

 

Commissioned by Steppenwolf and developed at The Kennedy Center’s New Voices/New Visions.  THIS IS MODERN ART gives us a glimpse into the anonymous lives of graffiti artists and asks us to question the true purpose of art.

 

Based on true events, the LOH crew is willing to risk anything for their art. Called vandals, criminals, even creative terrorists, these Chicago graffiti artists set out night after night to make their voices heard and alter the way people view the world. 

But when the crew finishes the biggest graffiti bomb of their careers, the consequences get serious and spark a public debate asking, where does art belong?
