Los Angeles, CA (April 28, 2014) Fans and collectors of world
renowned urban artist, Man One, will have many opportunities to
interact with him at several exhibitions and other art related events
throughout the rest of April and May in both, Los Angeles, CA and New
York.
Recently, he was a featured artist at the pop-up exhibition curated by 72 & Sunny; "Born Modern: physical vs. digital". The exhibition
explored how technology affects our sense of self, through the works of
21 artists. In his words: "My mixed media piece 'Just QRious', is an experiment in graffiti and social media
technology that poses the following questions to the viewers: Can
you read graffiti? Do you have to understand it in order to appreciate
it? Can the common person access art? Who is allowed to engage?"
Los Angeles based 72 and Sunny creates cultural impact on behalf of
brands. The company was named “Agency of the Year” for the past two
years by Ad Age and Adweek.

iconic, oversized, popular kicks being worn by his trademark graffiti
spirit characters. Collectors and fans are encouraged to take flicks
next to their favorite
shoes or characters, hashtag it with the mural's title

On April 21, the Mural Conservancy Los Angeles (MCLA) commissioned
Man One to restore his own mural at Southern California Library located
at 6120 S. Vermont Avenue, South Los Angeles. 'They Claim I’m a
Criminal', originally painted in 2010 has been heavily tagged and will
now be coming back to life thanks to funds raised by this important
public art organization dedicated to restoring all murals in Los
Angeles. The restoration of Man One’s mural is partially made possible
through funding from Councilmember Curren D. Price, Jr. (District
9)MCLA, a non-profit organization, is dedicated to the protection,
preservation and documentation of public murals in Los Angeles. http://www.muralconservancy.
In March of this year, Man One was invited to Binghamton University (BU)
by, reBOLD Binghamton, a movement that formed out of GEN10, the
student faculty collaboration at the university that seeks to use
design thinking to change perspectives, processes, and communities. He
spoke to students during two different occasions and shared his story of
how he helped lead the way in transforming Downtown Los Angeles into
the present day public art destination it has become. He is working with
the city, local artists and students in preparation for the upcoming
MuralFest 2014 (dates pending), sponsored by funds raised by BU and
generous community sponsors. Man One and his crew of world renowned
artists from Los Angeles, and Brooklyn, will be teaming up with
Binghamton’s best to complete 3-4 HUGE public murals. Food, music, art
workshops, and community discussions will also be part of this 5 day
Mural Festival. For more information, or to become a sponsor, please
