“This 1979 documentary film focuses on gangs such as the savage skulls & nomads who occupied areas of the South Bronx. Perhaps even more compelling is considering that the backdrop and social conditions in this film are a ‘far cry’ from the lifestyle being promoted through disco music and film. Perhaps this answers questions to why many people took preference over the funk records which arguably paved the way for Hip Hop culture.”

Opening tonight at Dorian Grey, thirty-five selected drawings by the late, celebrated fashion designer, artist and provocateur.

We’ve partnered with MoMA to give our readers a chance to win a pair of tickets granting access to the Armory Show Vernissage along with the opening-day party at the museum featuring a performance by Kate Nash this March. If you’ve never partied in the Museum of Modern Art, you’ll be in for a one-of-a-kind experience. Since gifs are advanced modern art, we thought what better way to celebrate than to have a gif party. All you have to do be entered to win this competition is submit an original animated gif that you’ve created. We’ll be continuously updating on this page. You have until February 25th to submit your gif, after which time we’ll select our favorites and put it to a public vote the following Monday. For those not in NY, try your luck anyway, we’ll figure out some way to reward you.
For more info on the party, click here.
Submission time is over!
