Tune into a special edition of #InTheStudio with #ArtAboveReality as we visit the studio workspace And talk history with #Philadelphia’s own #CornbreadTheLegend (@cornbreadthelegend) tomorrow at 4p! *pacific. • #InTheStudio: The series offers an inside look into the studio practice of the visual artist. From fabricated materials and works in progress to exhibition preparation, viewers get a chance to understand and experience the process firsthand. • The Artist: Darryl McCray, better known by his tagging name "Cornbread", is a #graffiti practitioner from #Philadelphia. McCray was born in North Philadelphia in 1953 and raised in Brewerytown, a neighborhood of North Philadelphia. During the late 1960s, he and a group of friends started doing graffiti in Philadelphia, by writing their monikers on walls across the city. The movement spread to New York City and blossomed into the modern graffiti movement, which reached its peak in the U.S. in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and then spread to Europe. Since his tagging days, McCray has developed a close relationship with The Philadelphia Mural Arts Program. He is a public speaker and a youth advocate. • #ArtAboveReality
