El otro d\u00eda que fui a un paseo al Museo de California en Oakland, me di cuenta que nunca hab\u00eda compartido las fotos que tom\u00e9 de la exhibici\u00f3n Barry McGee que tuvimos en el museo<\/a>. Esta exhibici\u00f3n atrajo a un mont\u00f3n de gente. Creo que no se hab\u00eda visto tanta concurrencia desde los primeros a\u00f1os del museo. Para el d\u00eda de apertura, las galer\u00edas de BAMPFA estaban que rebalsaban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McGee, who trained professionally in painting and printmaking at the San Francisco Art Institute, began sharing his work in the 1980s, not in a museum or gallery setting but on the streets of San Francisco, where he developed his skills as a graffiti artist, often using the tag name \u201cTwist.??? McGee\u2019s use of this and other monikers\u2014such as Ray and Lydia Fong\u2014as well as his frequent collaborations can make it difficult to precisely situate the artist\u2019s unique authorship. Using a visual vocabulary drawn from graffiti, comics, hobo art, and sign painting, McGee celebrates his Mission District neighborhood while at the same time calling attention to the harmful effects of capitalism, gentrification, and corporate control of public space. His often-humorous paintings, drawings, and prints\u2014all wrought with extraordinary skill\u2014push the boundaries of art: his work can seem refreshingly informal in the gallery but surprisingly elegant on the street.<\/p>

McGee has long viewed the city itself as a living space for art and activism, but his more recent work has brought the urban condition into the space of the gallery. Increasingly, his installation environments express the anarchic vitality of the inner-city street, incorporating overturned cars and trucks, and often spill beyond the frame of the gallery or museum.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
