The Culture: Hip Hop & Contemporary Art in the 21st Century

Foreword and introduction by Asma Naeem. Introduction by Gamynne Guillotte, Hannah Klemm, Andréa Purnell.

The Culture: Hip Hop & Contemporary Art in the 21st Century

A sweeping survey of hip hop’s resounding impact on contemporary art and culture across the past 20-plus years

Accompanying a groundbreaking exhibition originating at the Baltimore Museum of Art, this book captures the extraordinary influence of hip hop, which has driven innovations in music, visual and performing arts, fashion, and technology and grown into a global phenomenon since its emergence in the 1970s. It features approximately 70 objects by both established and emerging artists, design houses, streetwear icons and musicians working in a wide range of mediums to demonstrate hip hop’s proliferation from the street to the runway, the studio to the museum gallery, and countless sites in between. The exhibition also explores how hip hop has and continues to challenge structures of power, dominant cultural narratives, and political and social systems of oppression.
This fully illustrated monograph documents the exhibition and contains texts and interviews from more than 30 artists and scholars.
Artists include: Nina Chanel Abney, Dionne Alexander, Maxwell Alexandre, Devin Allen, Alvaro Barrington, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Grace Wales Bonner, Mark Bradford, Jordan Casteel, Willy Chavarria, Caitlin Cherry, Troy Chew II, William Cordova, Carl Jones, Stan Douglas, John Edmonds, Gajin Fujita, Monica Ikegwu, Shabez Jamal, Kahlil Joseph, Nia June, LA II, Deana Lawson, Eric N.

PRAISE AND REVIEWS

*Wallpaper

Harriet Lloyd-Smith

The show captures the pan-disciplinary phenomenon of hip hop; its ability to traverse high and low culture, and how it preempted a contemporary landscape in which creative fields continue to blur and overlap.

Surface

Jenna Adrian-Diaz

One of the show’s biggest strengths lies in its easy-to-follow examples of the genre’s seismic impact.

Essence

Okla Jones

Contains significant personal and communal resonance for those steeped in hip-hop culture, while providing a crash course into the explosive impact of the genre over the past two decades for those less versed.

Rolling Stone

Sacha Lecca

Hip-hop is finally getting the high-art recognition it deserves, thanks to “The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century.”

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop with 'The Culture'

Celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Hip Hop with 'The Culture'

Featured spreads—featuring work by Virgil Abloh for Louis Vuitton, Nina Chanel Abney, Devin Allen, Joyce J. Scott and Tschabalala Self—are reproduced from The Culture: Hip Hop & Contemporary Art in the 21st Century. Published for the fiftieth anniversary of hip hop to accompany the critically acclaimed exhibition touring from the Baltimore Museum of Art to the Saint Louis Art Museum, Cincinnati Art Museum and Art Gallery of Ontario through 2025, this volume contains work by more than thirty of the last five decades’ most daring, influential and multifaceted artists and scholars. Curator Asma Naeem writes, “The 21st century has seen the term ‘culture’ contested, protested and dismantled from European high culture to American dominance, and the continued reverberations of imperialism, tyranny and the decolonization of the ‘Third World.’ Museums seem to be a vital frontier in this sense. Hip hop in the 21st century flows with multiculturalism and collaboration, a porousness and fluidity among disciplines, pioneering technology and collectivity. Cultural theorist Stuart Hall acknowledged that Black culture can be defined in response to other cultures, such as white hegemony, and argued that Black popular culture is a complex site where politics and performance are negotiated through a dialogic intertwining of a number of simultaneous identities, being Black and British, for example. As this exhibition attests, the future of the museum lies in an embrace of this site, of the culture, where material culture and entangled social histories—where Sylvia Wynter’s humanness and new systems of knowledge, ones that lie outside of Western precepts, exist—are the future.” continue to blog
