Two weeks ago, famous street artist Blu had a really dope mural at the MOCA in Los Angeles promptly covered up. The operation, quickly cover up the controversial art has caused an outcry amongst some prominent figures in the art & street art community. The relationship of creativity, free speech and the corporation once again comes under fire as it has in the past and as it will continue to do so in the future.
Isn't this America? Come on we have Catholic Priest touching little kids, 8 city officials in Bell arrested for stealing 5.5 million dollars of one of the poorest city's money, and Mel Gibson still lose on the streets and your worried and some art on the side of a wall at the MOCA (Museum Of Contemporary Art) it is called contemporary art for a reason.
Just in case there is any confusion; Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted in 1948, states that: Freedom of speech is the freedom to speak freely without censorship or limitation, or both.
