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.

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?
