 At the beginning of his career, Murakami appeared to be content with the lot of most successful contemporary artists: to create work that is admired by critics and desired by wealthy collectors but leaves the general public baffled or hostile. He was constructing conceptual pieces similar to the art being made in the West. Among those early works, which began attracting attention in the early 90's, was "Polyrhythm", a seven-foot-high slab of yellow resin, minimalist in form, on which many toy United States infantry soldiers climb.

NEW YORK, NY (JANUARY 13, 2020) — The International Center of Photography (ICP) will open its new integrated center at Essex Crossing on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop, one of four inaugural exhibitions. It will be on view at ICP at 79 Essex Street from January 25 to May 18, 2020.

Produced and originated at the Annenberg Space for Photography, Los Angeles’s premier destination for photography, CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop is a journey through nearly four decades of photography, documenting a movement that impacted music, politics, race relations, fashion, and the culture at large. Curated by Vikki Tobak, based on the bestselling book of the same name, and with creative direction by Fab 5 Freddy, the exhibition includes nearly 150 works from 60 photographers, including Janette Beckman, Jamel Shabazz, and Gordon Parks.

This expanded CONTACT HIGH exhibition includes nearly 10 new works and more than 75 unedited contact sheets from Barron Claiborne’s iconic Notorious B.I.G. portraits to early images of Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West. It will also display the Dapper Dan jacket made for Rakim and the crown worn by the Notorious B.I.G.

“CONTACT HIGH celebrates a musical genre that speaks truth to power and the photographers who played a critical role in bringing hip-hop’s visual culture to the global stage. It provides a rare, inside look at the work of hip-hop photographers through their unedited contact sheets,” said Tobak.

“ICP is thrilled to open our new space on Manhattan’s Lower East Side with CONTACT HIGH and bring this important work to a New York City audience. As relevant now as when they were made, the images in this exhibition reveal complex and nuanced negotiations of self-presentation—foreshadowing our own selfie age— within and without the confines and stereotypes of the hip-hop scene,” said Mark Lubell, ICP’s Executive Director.

“The overwhelming number of visitors in the Los Angeles region to CONTACT HIGH was a testament to the importance and impact of these images,” said Wallis Annenberg, president and CEO of the Annenberg Foundation. “The role these photographers played in shaping hip-hop culture and beyond is incredible. It’s only right that our most popular exhibit to-date come to New York City, the birthplace of hip-hop.”

The exhibit also includes a documentary short film featuring CONTACT HIGH photographers at work and in conversation, including BarronClaiborne, Brian “B+” Cross, Eric Coleman, Estevan Oriol, Ithaka Darin Pappas, Jorge Peniche, Jamel Shabazz, Janette Beckman, Joe Conzo, Jack McKain, Dana Scruggs, and Danny Clinch. The film is produced by the Annenberg Foundation and Radical Media.

During the run of the exhibition, Tobak and several photographers featured in CONTACT HIGH will participate in public programs and other events for students, museum goers, ICP members, and the general public. In addition, new exhibition-related retail products will be available exclusively in ICP’s new shop. More details will be announced in the coming weeks.

Very Rare Photo Of Eazy-E Skateboarding in Venice Beach While Wearing Bulletproof Vest

Very Rare Photo Of Eazy-E Skateboarding Venice Beach While Wearing Bulletproof Vest

February 2, 2016

Check out the rare, seemingly unseen photo of NWA rapper Eazy-E skating in Venice Beach, while wearing his bulletproof vest.

‘This is one of those things that’s amazing on multiple levels: a photo of the late Eazy-E skating in Venice Beach. Ithaka Darin Pappas shot it in 1989, when Venice’s locals included skaters like Christian Hosoi, Eric Dressen, Jesse Martinez, and Block. At the time, NWA was reaching the height of its popularity. Eazy-E—born Eric Wright—is seen in a bulletproof vest.’

‘As Pappas notes in the comments, the photo was never published. He unearthed it when he was looking for another shot for Rolling Stone. Eazy-E died of complications related to AIDS some six years later, in 1995.’

"El hip-hop introdujo tantos cambios sociales, culturales y políticos que obligó a las instituciones y guardianes de nuestra sociedad a aceptarlo y reconocerlo", dijo Marcyliena Morgan, directora fundadora del Instituto de Investigación y Archivo Hiphop de la Universidad de Harvard y rescatado en un artículo publicado en el The New York Times.

Si bien algunos raperos de hoy en día son magnates de los medios de comunicación, los primeros años también tuvieron una motivación poderosa: el amor por el oficio. "En los viejos tiempos, la gente lo hacía porque era su pasión", dijo Janette Beckman, quien creó imágenes memorables de Run-DMC, Slick Rick y otras estrellas prometedoras. . “No lo hacían para ser millonarios. Parte de esa pureza y espíritu todavía existe de la misma manera”.

En ‘Contact High: The Visual History of Hip-Hop’ (Clarkson Potter), Vikki Tobak ha reunido relatos narrados por los mismos creadores de imágenes que ayudaron a moldear la cultura del género musical, descubriendo historias y lecciones en esas hojas.

El libro abarca 40 años con casi 200 imágenes de más de 50 fotógrafos, destacando la evolución de la fotografía hip-hop de analógica a digital e incluye historias personales de pioneros como Joe Conzo Jr., Jamel Shabazz, Martha Cooper, Ithaka Darin Pappas y Ernie Paniccioli, junto con la última generación, Cam Kirk y Jorge Peniche.

Se incluyen sesiones de fotos clásicas, hojas de contacto e historias detrás de escena de Barron Clairborne, Al Pereira y Lisa Leone, así como un prólogo de Rootss Questlove.
