Brooklyn Museum Backs Out of 'Art in the Streets' Exhibition

Next stop: not Brooklyn. The much-buzzed about “Art in the Streets” exhibition (Banksy-subsidized admission! Limited-edition Nike sneakers designed by Geoff McFetridge!) won’t be coming to the Brooklyn Museum after all, the institution announced today. Organized by the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles, where it is on view at the Geffen Contemporary through August 8, the first major U.S. museum survey of graffiti and street art had been scheduled to move to the Brooklyn Museum—its only other venue—from March 30 through July 8 of next year.
