RJ Rushmore is the editor-in-chief of Vandalog, a blog that covers street art and graffiti from around the world. Curating for #mocatvupload he selects submissions from talented paste-up artists who stick to the medium's roots as illegal free expression despite opportunities to go aboveground. In New York City, Enzo & Nio put up politically controversial posters in gentrifying neighborhoods, and in London, A.Ce takes a cameraman along for a late night trip through the East End, where his pop-inspired show posters coexist on brick walls saturated with tags and bubble letters. As Rushmore notes, legal walls and murals are fun, but these artists are risking their freedom to say exactly what they want. 

 

These videos were selected as part of a call to action from MOCAtv to graffiti and street artists and supporters around the world to upload videos showing the freshest art in public spaces. From March 25 to June 30, 2013, MOCAtv received over 120 submissions from China to Brazil to South Africa to Australia.
