While New York's borough of the Bronx is widely accepted as the birthplace of hip-hop in the early 1970s, that culture is now an international phenomenon. The popularization of this urban-style music, with its accompanying clothes and imagery, transcends race, class, and economic spheres. Although graffiti art, DJ-ing, rapping, and break dancing have all received popular and critical attention, One Planet under a Groove: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art is the first exhibition to examine their transnational impact on contemporary art. Among the 30 featured artists whose work draws from the aesthetic, political, and social contexts of hip-hop culture are Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hammons, Susan Smith-Pinelo, Keith Haring, Chris Ofili, Renée Green, Adrian Piper, and Gary Simmons. Organized by the Bronx Museum of the Arts, this landmark exhibition highlights some 60 works created over the past two decades by artists based in the United States, Europe, and Japan. The work on view reflects the evolution of hip-hop from the marginalized urban street cultures of black and Latino communities to a billion-dollar industry pervading a broad international public. fine condition exhibition catalog in stiff carboard covers. 84 pages, frofusely illustrated with photographs..
