Love, and guerilla art installations, can be fleeting.

This charming couple appeared on February 14.

Postcard from Oaxaca: Art of the streets

Wandering the streets of Oaxaca, we keep encountering urban art transcending youthful graffiti.

When we entered the Museum of Contemporary Art, or MACO, our belief the caliber of the art is far from serendipitous was confirmed. Some of the street art is part of an external and internal exhibition, Hecho en Oaxaca, and was commissioned for the July opening.

I’m posting a few random shots, including some commercial signage, separately from those taken inside the museum because a few, by the same artists, would be indistinguishable.
