Street Level: Mark Bradford, William Cordova & Robin Rhode
An Exhibition of 3 fresh new artists who deal with street culture at the Nasher Museum of Art.
The artists in “Street Level” explore the ways that cultural territories are defined and space is transformed in urban environments. For Bradford, Cordova and Rhode the streets of Los Angeles, Lima, Miami, New York, Cape Town, Johannesburg and Berlin act as sources of inspiration. They share a common interest in found materials and artistic gestures such as sneakers thrown over a telephone wire, stripping cars, spontaneous shrines and piles of discarded objects, that help build a gritty foundation for their art.
Street Level is the first show at the Nasher Museum to be organized by curator of contemporary art Trevor Schoonmaker.

I love to see …
I love to see artists that are creating art that means something to them and the larger world. When I was younger, I used to create art from my parents’ junk drawers and I have been inspired to begin again. I also write and love to listen to people while I’m out in public places. I use a lot of what I hear in my stories. I will enjoy going the Nasher to view their art work in person. Thanks guys for following your heart while creating your art. That’s what it’s all about.
