'Wheat Paste' Wall Promos 9/11 Show

The artists worked quickly, brushing posters and fliers with wheatpaste. Then, they positioned them precisely on a block-long stretch of wall just off Sunset Boulevard on Manzanita Street.

They weren't tagging. They weren't postering.

They were working in a "gray zone," as they put it, building out a giant promo to an art show coming to Downtown LA Sept. 9, 10 and 11.

Be sure to check out our pictures in the accompanying gallery.

LA vs. War will feature graffiti, live art, dublab DJs, teach-ins and a peace "altar."

"The themes of the show are War & Peace, with special focus on looking back at 9/11 and projecting peaceful solutions. After 10 years of the Global War on Terror, where do we now stand as a nation? Is the world a safer place? Where does the Peace movement go from here?"

John Carr of YoPeace.org is curating the show, which is still accepting entries, according to its website.

LA vs. War opens Friday, Sept. 9, at the Vortex Gallery, 2341 E. Olympic Blvd., L.A. 90021. It runs through Sept. 11, from noon to midnight.
