One Planet Under a Groove Hip Hop and Contemporary Art

Imprint: Bronx, Bronx Museum of the Arts, 2002
Edition: First American Edition

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..

From the publisher: "Photographers, Writers, and the American Scene: Visions of Passage is a major traveling exhibition, accompanied by a finely produced book, that reproduces images and writings by fifty of America's leading photographers and writers. The exhibition and book are the result of a five-year project known as the National Millennium Survey. The survey commissioned thirty-five prominent photographers and fifteen nationally recognized writers. Among the fifty artists are a large number of Guggenheim fellows, MacArthur fellows, and Pulitzer Prize winners. The exhibition is devoted to reflections of American life and culture through the vision and interpretation of contemporary photographers and writers. The works in the book and exhibition were produced over the period 1995-2000. The photographic works include documentary series, installations, visual essays, and individual images. The writing includes essays, poetry, and narrative. Among the cultural touchstones represented by the artists are diversity, mobility, family, forces of tradition, ritual, the search for community, immigration, consumerism, the aged, and spiritual continuity.

This book shows each kite, and many of them in their inaugural flight, and describes the work of the artist who created it. There is also a brief introduction to the ancient art of kiting in East Asia." Artists represented include Antoni Tapies, David Nash, Robert Rauschenberg, Frank Stella, Niki de Saint Phalle, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Grisha Bruskin, Yukio Imamura, Panamarenko, Susumu Shingu, Paul Wunderlich plus many others. Delightfully illustrated with full-page and fold-out color photographs as well as b/w photos. An exhibition displaying the art kites has been touring major museums in Japan, Europe and America.
