Live Free Wall Time Lapse

For ten days, Mike Maxwell’s Live Free Wall lived here in The Bakery’s back lot. Prepare to be mesmerized by this time lapse of the whole project — in other words, 26 artists attacking one wall. It was unveiled last Thursday night to the overwhelming crowd that showed up at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego for a TNT inspired by the Viva La Revolucion exhibit, which features the work of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Barry McGee, Calma, JR, Ryan McGinness, Os Gemeos, & co. Hats off to Mike Maxwell, Rebecca Joelson, Kevin Joelson, and the artists for a job seriously well done!

Live Free Wall at MCASD

Ten days ago, Mike Maxwell launched the Live Free Wall outside The Bakery. Since then it’s been a blur of artists painting the wall over and again. The time lapse of the whole project will be unveiled Thursday night August 12 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, alongside the Viva La Revolucion exhibit, which features the work of Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Barry McGee, Calma, JR, Ryan McGinness, Os Gemeos…the list goes on and on. Check out the preview above, and we’ll see you at TNT!

Update: See the full time lapse here!

The work of Kwangho Lee


Set & Drift is proud to present the work of Kwangho Lee at Current, opening September 2010 at The Bakery. Kwangho lives and works in Seoul, where he sculpts lighting installations, inspired by memories of his childhood growing up in rural Korea (including his mother’s knitting).

His work has taken him to exhibitions from Paris to Milan, Berlin, and New York. This summer he’s dreamed up Black Whale for Current, and it’s now making its way to San Diego. Mark your calendar for its debut — more event details here!

¡Viva Tijuego!

We had a wonderful time with you all in Tijuego (aka Tijuana+San Diego) this past weekend, enjoying a wealth of street art and experiencing our two cities the way they should be – on bike. We must thank the 15+ organizations we partnered with — most intimately Sezio and Turista Libre — as well as our 2010 Patrons who help us put on events like these and further our mission of promoting cultural exchange in San Diego. And of course, thanks to you 150+ cyclists who came out to ride!
