«OHH, ART IS TOO HARD»

The Brooklyn Museum has yanked support from a controversial but popular graffiti exhibit."Art in the Streets" has created big buzz since it went up in April at the Museum of Contemporary Art in downtown Los Angeles, but also a surge in graffiti vandalism, cops there have said.The exhibit was slated to stay on display until August in L.A., then move to Brooklyn in March 2012 for a three-month stay.Instead, the Eastern Parkway museum abruptly announced late Tuesday it's pulling the plug, blaming the "economic downturn.""This is an exhibition about which we were tremendously enthusiastic," Brooklyn Museum Director Arnold Lehman said in the statement. "It is with regret, therefore, that the cancellation became necessary due to the current financial climate.
