MEXICO CITY LOVES MARKA27



After a successful opening night for Marka27's "Neo Indigenous" solo show featuring

artist "Problak" in the front room of our gallery, Marka27 set off to visit his native land Mexico with his lovely
wife Liza Quiñonez. 

We just got this report back from him and in his own words:

"The destination was Mexico DF (Distrito Federal). The trip was a total of five days and an 
incredible experience filled with politics, culture, ancient history, street art, graffiti, designer vinyl, delicious food and good friends with good vibes!

It goes without saying words cannot describe how amazing the experience was. It was a humbling experience seeing the pyramids at Teotihuacan, meeting amazing local artists and designers. 

Marka27 and Liza would like to thank the people of Mexico D.F specifically:
 Oscar from "Vinyles Chiles" Victor Hugo Celaya from "Arto" Art Beyond Museums, and Gonzalo from "Mammut" for hooking up a wall for me to paint on the last day. 
Thanks also to Libre, and Gato for the beers and good laughs! 

We hope you enjoy the photos and highly recommend Mexico D.F for your next adventure." 
- Marka27

LA MURAL ORDINANCE STRATEGY SESSION

LA Mural Ordinance Strategy Session
We would like to invite you to attend this strategy session to plan for the
City of LA Planning Commission Hearing on Tuesday January 10th at 1PM.
 
The meeting at Crewest is geared to working artists with a special focus on 
graffiti artists and those that support their work.  We would like to encourage
people from the community - even non-artists - to come to this meeting to support
and contribute ideas.

We will be planning on what we want to say at the LA Planning Commission hearing,
assigning topics to different speakers, discussing a plan of attack and answering
any questions you may have about the impact of the proposed ordinance on graffiti
artists, muralists and the community.
This ordinance will affect your mural work in the City of LA for many years to
come. This is a chance to plan action that can still affect the outcome.
