No, a typewriter. No, a toaster. No, a piece of pie.” These words were exclaimed by a visitor to Claes Oldenburg's 1961 East Village storefront, trying to figure out what product she had just been examining.2 As the viewer encountered a series of handmade objects representing mass-produced goods, she found herself in a storefront oddly mimicking a retail space, creating an ambiguous space where common distinctions between “art” and “commerce” had seemingly collapsed.

Berenson Chair of Contemporary Art, Department of Fine Arts, Brandeis University It may be argued that no artist has carried more weight for the art world’s reckoning with racial politics than Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960–1988). In the 1980s and 1990s, his work was enlisted to reflect on the Black experience and art history; in the 2000 and 2010s his work diversified, often single-handedly, galleries, museums, and art history surveys. Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation attempts to share in these tasks. Basquiat’s artwork first appeared in lower Manhattan in exhibitions that poet and critic Rene Ricard explained, “made us accustomed to looking at art in a group, so much so that an exhibit of an individual’s work seems almost antisocial.”1 The earliest efforts to historicize the East Village art world shared this spirit of sociability.

  • ¡Gothenburg Metal a La Carta!
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Portada del disco Static impulse de James Labrie. Autor: Internet Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:03 pm ¡Gothenburg metal a la carta! Publicado: Jueves 25 noviembre 2010 | 02:34:40 am. Publicado por: Joaquín Borges-Triana, Joaquín Borges-Triana En la más reciente remesa de grabaciones foráneas que manos amigas me han hecho llegar, uno de los materiales que me ha cautivado es el álbum Static impulse, disco puesto en circulación por el sello Incide Out Music y acreditado a James LaBrie, vocalista del mítico grupo Dream Theater. Salido al mercado a fines del pasado mes de septiembre, la primera referencia favorable que tuve acerca del fonograma vino de la mano de mi buen amigo Manuel Santín Valdés y, ni corto ni perezoso, me di a la tarea de conseguir el CD. Para quienes no estén al tanto del devenir artístico de James LaBrie, les diré que además de su desempeño con Dream Theater, él se ha involucrado en proyectos tan atractivos como Explorers Club y Mullmuzzler, así como ha intervenido en grabaciones de Fates Warning, Shadow Gallery, Ayreon y en los discos tributo a leyendas del rock, entre las que cabría destacar a Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Queen y Rush. Paralelo a dicha intensa actividad en fonogramas de diversos colegas y en el quehacer de los Theater, desde 2005 LaBrie también lleva adelante su propia carrera personal. En aquel año grabó el CD Elements of persuasion, con la evidente intención de demostrarle a su público que a él le interesa asumir diversas aristas del panorama del rock y el metal de nuestros días y no solo las áreas con las que suele identificársele.

  • FUTURA2000 (Born Leonard Hilton Mcgurr in New York City) Is a Graffiti Pioneer Who Began Painting Subways in the Late 1970S
    FUTURA2000 (born Leonard Hilton McGurr in New York City) is a graffiti pioneer who began painting subways in the late 1970s. In 1980 he painted the iconic whole car titled “Break,” which was recognized for its abstraction, rather than a focus on lettering. This painting established some of the enduring aesthetic motifs and approaches FUTURA2000 would explore over the decades that followed. FUTURA2000 was among the first graffiti artists to be shown in contemporary art galleries in the early 1980s. His paintings were shown at Patti Astor’s Fun Gallery and Tony Shafrazi, alongside those of his friends Keith Haring, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Rammellzee, DONDI, and Kenny Scharf. MoMA PS1 brought the artists together in their landmark 1981 exhibition, “New York / New Wave.” In this period, FUTURA2000 illustrated the sleeve cover for The Clash’s ‘This is Radio Clash’ seven-inch single. He accompanied The Clash on their Combat Rock tour, spray painting in the background while the band played. He painted as an accompaniment to demonstrations of break dance by the Rock Steady Crew, and concerts by Grand Master Flash and Afrika Bombataa. With the Clash, he recorded the vinyl “The Escapades of Futura 2000,” a manifesto for graffiti. By the 1990s, as the commercialization of global street culture in the 1990s inspired collaborations with fashion and lifestyle brands, FUTURA2000’s work moved toward a more refined expression of his abstract style. Commissions from brands such as Supreme, A Bathing Ape, Stüssy, and Mo' Wax saw his artwork canonized as an elemental component of cross-genre street aesthetic. He has collaborated with Nike, BMW, Comme des Garçons, Louis Vuitton, and Off-White.

  • Is Graffiti Art?
    IS GRAFFITI ART? Russell M. Jones A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2007 Committee: Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Allie Terry ii ABSTRACT Dr. Andrew Hershberger, Advisor Illegal graffiti is disconnected from standard modes of visual production in fine art and design. The primary purpose of illegal graffiti for the graffiti writer is not the visual product, but “getting up.” Getting up involves writing or painting one’s name in as many places as possible for fame. The elements of risk, freedom and ritual unique to illegal graffiti serve to increase camaraderie among graffiti writers even as an individual’s fame in the graffiti subculture increases. When graffiti has moved from illegal locations to the legal arenas of fine art and advertising; risk, ritual and to some extent, camaraderie, has been lost in the translation. Illegal graffiti is often erroneously associated with criminal gangs. Legal modes of production using graffiti-style are problematic in the public eye as a result. I used primary and secondary interviews with graffiti writers in this thesis. My art historical approach differed from previous writers who have used mainly anthropological and popular culture methods to examine graffiti. First, I briefly addressed the extremely limited critical literature on graffiti.
