On November 7th, Tradition is hosting :Critical: a 2 person art show featuring the artwork of Mear and Yem, two of LA’s most prolific graffiti writers. :Critical: examines the nature of these two legendary graffiti writers and their approach to fine art.

Mear One: examines the aspects of content that accompany any piece of art. He is literally working on communicating some of what we as a society have forgotten or are unable to see.

Yem: navigates through a multi-media platform where information (data) and art intersect. The result is a visual experiment that tests the icons of the culture industry. His work involves a participation in which Theodor Adorno claims that it goes under the name of terror in mass culture. He is a pioneer of the Los Angeles graffiti/urban art movement and has shown through out the US and Europe. He is self taught.

:Critical: opens November 7th, and runs through January 2nd.

Opening Reception is November 7th from 7-11. Drinks and music provided.

Tradition: 2895 Agoura Rd, Westlake Village, Ca. 91361 805-497-4717
