Their work can be found in nearly all areas in the borough. It exemplifies the street art culture that rose up from the roots of the graffiti movement. It is both familiar and ever changing to any Bronx resident. Beyond the Bronx, the work of TATS CRU reaches all 5 boroughs of New York City, many states in the USA, and as far away as China. “TATS CRU is the story of graffiti and street art. From subway trains to commissioned murals to worldwide street art festivals, the masterful TATS CRU represents the evolution of graffiti to the global phenomenon it is today,” states Lois Stavsky, editor of the wildly popular blog Street Art NYC. “Stylish and striking, their artwork – individually and collectively – continues to seduce viewers as it fuses elements of graffiti, illustration, graphic design and fine art.” The Art of TATS CRU shows a representation of past projects through photographs and videos produced by Miguel Teck Arteaga. There are also works on canvas by NICER, BIO, and BG183, and a new mural collaboration reproduced as a poster to commemorate the exhibition. “We are looking at a unique rise to art world success, it’s inspirational in that it illustrates that every artist doesn’t need to follow the standard, art school, gallery system, connection-based path,” says co-curator Eileen Walsh.

June will be the month of the meeting and the confrontation, between the abstraction of the letter of very recognized MadC and the abstraction of the pattern for the young Goddog, between the Chinese masks of Ceet and the offbeat facies by Kashink... The balance of the gender and the techniques, the meeting of four artists having 1 common point: began the spray can in the hand. MadC, with his graffiti writer soul, transform the line in a soft calligraphy. She develops its style on walls and on paintings, seeking out the transparency of color, support of the flow and the energy of the movement. Kashink, Parisian young women, wearing a mustache stages these monstrous characters in surrealist scenes, a naïve imagination tinged with onirism. Ceet, influential graffiti artist of the Truskool, Hong Kong resident decided to put its animal idol on wel-know people for its second residence in Jardin Rouge. Goddog, as for him, pursues research on the meeting of his works on paper and on walls, the thought of patterns meets the instinctive of the line.

SUSANNA FREDERICK FISCHER ABSTRACT This paper considers the extent to which federal moral rights law protects authorized graffiti and aerosol art against destruction, in the context of the controversy over the destruction of 5Pointz. 5Pointz, a sprawling complex of warehouse buildings in Queens, was a Mecca for aerosol art. The buildings’ owners ordered the demolition of 5Pointz after the November 2013 order by New York federal district judge Frederic Block denying the artists a preliminary injunction to stop destruction under the federal moral rights statute, the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA).

Bronx-based graffiti artist, turned professional muralist, BG183, alias Sotero Ortiz, works on a project in an old Bronx warehouse. — AFP photos The Bronx looks to capitalize as hip-hop's birthplace n the 1970s, DJs, dancers, graffiti artists and the first rap- pers came together in the burned-out buildings of The IBronx, giving birth to hip-hop. Today, hip-hop is a multibil- lion-dollar industry and The Bronx is on the mend, but New York's northernmost borough is struggling to capitalize on its heritage. Hip-hop began at 1520 Sedgwick Avenue on the two-tone linoleum floor of a ground-floor room in an anony- mous brick house, under an impromptu neon light. There on August 11, 1973, Clive Campbell-nicknamed Kool Herc- mashed together snippets of recordings on two turntables and, without knowing it, became the first hip-hop DJ. Coke La Rock became the first MC as he delivered spoken-word lyrics over the music. Hip-hop culture-with its mix of DJing, rapping, graffiti and dance-has gone on to become a global phenomenon. The Bronx has restored several emblematic sites including Cedar Playground, the scene of the first open-air hip-hop parties, and the Bronx River Community Center where pioneering DJ Afrika Bambaataa had his start. The early days of hip-hop have also been dramatized in a television series, "The Get Down," which premiered in August.

  • Discover Hip-Hop's History and Legacy in the Bronx This Summer
    Discover Hip-Hop's History and Legacy in The Bronx This Summer By Patrick Wall August 6, 2013 THE BRONX — From Little Rock to Los Angeles, Germany to Japan, if the wider world knows one thing about The Bronx, it’s the musical movement that sprouted here several decades ago and then blossomed around the planet. “From this concrete jungle, the flower of hip-hop evolved,” said Melissa Libran, a Bronx resident and CEO of Windows of Hip Hop, a group devoted to Photo credit: Patrick Wall/DNAInfo commemorating the borough’s musical Nelson "Chief69" Seda, a Bronx b-boy and emcee, at a Crotona heritage. Park Jam in 2012. While The Bronx may no longer qualify as a hotbed of hip-hop innovation — its many Latin American and West African immigrants are more likely to push the boundaries of other genres — many devoted hip-hop-heads keep the tradition alive through workshops, open mic events and artwork. “It’s still thriving here,” said Bronx b-boy and emcee Nelson “Chief69” Seda, “but you do have to seek it out.” 1. The History If The Bronx is the birthplace of hip-hop, many consider 1520 Sedgwick Ave. to be its cradle. It was in the community room of that high-rise just north of the Cross-Bronx Expressway, in 1973, that a teenager named Kool Herc used two turntables to prolong songs’ percussion breaks — spawning the “scratching” DJ style that would soon provide the beat for hip-hop’s first emcees and breakdancers. “A lot of people feel that the parties that Kool Herc threw in 1973 were the big bang that kind of started hip-hop in motion,” said Mark Naison, a professor of African and African American Studies at Fordham University.
