Celebrating the photographers who have played a critical role in bringing hip-hop’s visual culture to the global stage, CONTACT HIGH: A Visual History of Hip-Hop is an inside look at the work of hip-hop photographers, as told through their most intimate diaries: their unedited contact sheets.
Curated by Vikki Tobak, based on the bestselling book of the same name, and with creative direction by Fab 5 Freddy, the photographic exhibition includes nearly 140 works from 60 photographers. Guests will also see over 75 original and unedited contact sheets—from Barron Claiborne’s iconic Notorious B.I.G. portraits and early images of Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Kanye West as they first took to the scene, to Janette Beckman’s defining photos of Salt-N-Pepa, and Jamel Shabazz and Gordon Parks documenting hip-hop culture—CONTACT HIGH allows visitors to look directly through the photographer’s lens and observe all of the pictures taken during these legendary photo shoots.

The Hunger is from the new album ‘Lost Girls’ which will be released on September 6th.
TweetThe selection of works focuses on new pictures, some of them created with this exhibition in mind. A few carefully chosen early works provide a fascinating insight into the ongoing development as well as the intrinsic constancy of his diverse output over nigh on four decades. The exhibition has been curated by Beat Wismer in close collaboration with the artist.
Albrecht Schnider’s visual art has evolved between the two divergent poles of drawing and painting. Or rather, it has charted a course from free and spontaneous drawing, as a starting point, towards the execution of painted of images with a truly iconic radiance. The drawings and paintings are polar opposites. The drawings are created with the greatest possible freedom and autonomy, whereby all compositional or design intent is secondary and each line is created with the greatest possible immediacy, flowing directly from the hand, in the spirit of écriture automatique. Such an approach to drawing does not involve the abstraction of some external object, but is more a case of finding form through thought-free execution.

As a major retrospective of his work comes to an end at the National Museum of Cardiff, the British sculptor and artist David Nash presents a collection of pastels and charcoals with trees as their theme. Demonstrating great interest for the landscapes and nature that surround him, David Nash works mostly with wood. He explores the very essence of trees, their materials and their symbolism, in their natural environment. Mostly known for his sculptures, often using burnt wood, David Nash is working in 2D here, producing simple forms with a strong expressive force. Having started his career as an artist and painter, David Nash accords great importance to colour, related to details he observes in the landscapes. Here, red and black are the dominant colours in his works on paper.
