Hip-hop is grabbing the mic and busting a move at the St. Louis Art Museum.
“The Culture: Hip Hop and Contemporary Art in the 21st Century,” an exhibition that debuted at the Baltimore Museum of Art, is on view Aug. 19-Jan. 1. This is the first collaboration between the two institutions.
Andréa Purnell, SLAM’s audience development manager and a co-curator of “The Culture,” wants to make sure patrons know what they’re walking into.
“The exhibition is not a full survey of hip-hop,” she says. “I don’t want people to think it’s about how hip-hop began 50 years ago, where it is now and everything in between. What it is is a reflection of how hip-hop has influenced contemporary art. That’s a big difference.”
