ООО «Издательство «Эксмо», 2017 * * * Введение Четвертого октября 1969 года в 00 часов 10 минут по верхнему уровню Мертл- авеню в последний раз прогрохотал поезд наземки, навсегда скрывшись в ночи[1]. Два месяца спустя Шон Кори Картер, более известный как Jay Z, появился на свет и обрел свой первый дом в расположенном поблизости Марси Хаузес. Сейчас этот раскинувшийся на значительной территории комплекс однообразных шестиэтажных кирпичных зданий отделен пятью жилыми блоками от призрачных руин линии Мертл- авеню, вытянутой полой конструкции, которую никто так и не потрудился снести. В годы формирования личности Jay Z остальная территория Бедфорд-Стайвесант подобным же образом игнорировалась властями. В 1980-е, с расцветом наркоторговли, уроки спроса и предложения можно было получить за каждым углом. Прошлое Марси до сих пор дает о себе знать: железные ворота с внушительными замками, охраняющие парковочные места; номера квартир, белой краской выписанные по трафарету под каждым окном, выходящим на улицу, призванные помочь полиции в поисках скрывающихся преступников; и, конечно, скелет железной дороги над Мертл-авеню, буквально в нескольких шагах от современной станции, на которой теперь останавливаются поезда маршрутов J и Z. На этих страницах вы найдете подробную историю пути Jay Z от безрадостных улиц Бруклина к высотам мира бизнеса.

  • MA-2013 07 the New Yorker
    Allen, Emma. “The Rapper is Present,” The New Yorker, July 11, 2013 JULY 11, 2013 THE RAPPER IS PRESENT POSTED BY EMMA ALLEN Three years ago, when the performance artist Marina Abramović sat in the atrium of the Museum of Modern Art for seven hundred and fifty hours, many of the people who had waited in long lines to sit across from her melted down in her presence. Abramović remained silent and still, enduring thirst, hunger, and back pain (and speculation as to how, exactly, she was or was not peeing), while visitors, confronted with her placid gaze, variously wept, vomited, stripped naked, and proposed marriage. But the other day, at the Pace Gallery in Chelsea, where Jay-Z was presenting his own take on Abramović’s piece—rapping for six hours in front of a rotating cast of art-world V.I.P.s—viewers’ primary response was to get up and dance. Jay-Z (or Shawn Carter, or Hova, as he’s alternately known) was continuously performing “Picasso Baby,” the second song on his new album, “Magna Carta… Holy Grail,” to a succession of visual artists, museum directors, gallerists, Hollywood folk, and Pablo’s granddaughter Diana Widmaier Picasso. These guests took turns on or near a wooden bench positioned across from a low platform on which the rapper stood, except when he was prowling around. A crowd of less famous art-world denizens and cool-looking people (some of whom had been specially cast) loitered along the walls of the gallery, except when they were invited to scurry right up to Jay-Z.

  • A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement
    Black Social Movements Past and Present: A Comparative Analysis of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement by J. Vern Cromartie, Ed.D. [email protected] Professor of Sociology, Chair, Sociology Department Contra Costa College, San Pablo, California Abstract This paper focuses on Black social movements past and present with special reference to the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement. It examines the Black Arts Movement as a social movement that emerged during the mid-1960s and lasted until the mid-1970s. It also examines the Hip Hop Movement as a social movement that emerged during the early 1970s and has lasted to the present. This paper presents a comparative analysis of both social movements and identifies their goals, ideologies, organization and status systems, and tactics. The comparative analysis also includes an examination of both movements’ internal development in the form of the incipient phase, organizational phase, and stable phase. Likewise, the comparative analysis includes an examination of both movements’ external development in the form of innovation, selection, and integration. In addition, this paper addresses some implications of the Black Arts Movement and the Hip Hop Movement as social movements. In this study, a mixed methods approach has been employed, including the case study, participant observation, and a qualitative survey. The research techniques include direct observation, interviews with people involved in the two movements, and content analysis of primary and secondary source documents. Keywords: Black Arts Movement, Hip Hop Movement, social movement, race, culture. 77 Africology: The Journal of Pan African Studies, vol.11, no.6, April 2018 Introduction During the 20th century in the United States of America (USA), Black people developed a host of social movements to address social problems they faced.

Where other sources of information have been used they have been acknowledged. Name: …Owen Glyndwr Parry… Date: … 24 September 2013… 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisor Gavin Butt for the generous guidance he has offered since day one. I would also like to thank Gavin, Adrian Heathfield and Lois Keidan of the Live Art Development Agency for taking me on as a researcher on their three-year creative research project Performance Matters. I am very grateful to them for this opportunity and the unparalleled experience it has offered both intellectually and professionally. A special thanks also goes to my fellow researcher Augusto Corrieri, and the Trash Team – João Florêncio, Vikki Chalklin, Mathias Danbolt, Oriana Fox and Jay Stewart. Our talks and discussions, salons, excursions, readings, screenings, performances, photo shoots, journal editing experiences, and parties have sustained me and kept my research appropriately off track. I look forward to more trashy escapades. A big thank you also goes to my performance collaborator Mitch, and to Lola/ Eirini Kartsaki, who has been a pillar of support and also offered feedback on my writing at various stages. My thanks go to Rebecca Collins for the feedback on Chapter 3, and to Kirsty and Tom McKaskill-Baxter, who invited me into their beautiful home in Manchester for five weeks, offering me the much needed time, space and central heating to get on with a consistent spurt of writing.

  • Press Bananas, Duct Tape and Loads of Ambition: How Maurizio Cattelan
    Bananas, Duct Tape and Loads of Ambition: How Maurizio Cattelan Became the Art World’s Merry Prankster He’s been art-world famous for years, but it took a viral work called "Comedian" to make him famous-famous. Here, the provocative artist shares his thoughts on creating the piece, the world’s reaction to it and the real value of art. by Julie Belcove (May 4, 2020) Photo by Chris Buck For all the fuss made over the exponential growth of the contemporary art world—fairs and biennials popping up around the globe like Shake Shacks, finance experts labeling art an “asset class,” hours-long lines for Yayoi Kusama’s psychedelic “Infinity Mirror Rooms” and other experiential, Instagram-worthy phenomena—a paltry few 21st-century artists have succeeded in permeating mainstream culture. Sure, the pseudonymous Banksy made headlines when he rigged a picture frame to shred one of his paintings after the hammer fell at Sotheby’s, though the media coverage focused on the destruction of an expensive object—and its potential rise in value as a result. And Marina Abramović was lampooned on Sex and the City for her 12-day stint living on display at Sean Kelly Gallery like an animal in the zoo, but most fans of the TV show probably assumed the boundary-pushing performance was invented in the writers’ room. Her subsequent staring contests at the Museum of Modern Art led to a dance with Jay-Z, foreheads touching, in his video for “Picasso Baby,” but again, recognition was the domain of insiders only. Outside the art world, Banksy’s stunt and Abramović’s celebrity following qualify merely as Warholian 15 minutes of fame.
