BANKSY TAKES THE RODNEY KING BEATING TO THE L.A. MOCA

March 3, 2011 marked the 20th anniversary of the Los Angeles police beating of Rodney King. The brutality caught on tape by a civilian bystander still brings chills.

Banksy is sure to evoke another set of emotions as he brings his take on the matter straight to the heart of Los Angeles' modern art world. His work—along with others—is currently on display at the Museum of Contemporary Art as part of the 'Art in The Streets' exhibition opening today and running through August 18, 2011.
