@ The Bronx Museum of Arts

This show is definitely unique in its own sense of choice of artists. Entering and exploring the exhibit, you will notice there may be only a handful of names that may ring a bell. Showcasing a more underground art scene, you learn and experience where all of these reoccurring styles in fashion, art, and music are coming from. Mediums used in the featured pieces range from video's including sound art, to photography, to canvas.
