Street Photography APT A

Ricky Powell, Lush Life, SugarHead Quarters (SHQ), Proof 7 and Red Bull invite you to join them as Powell unveils work that has until now been sealed away from the public eye in his West Village apartment. Appropriately entitled "Apt. A," the exhibition will feature Powell's most personal, iconic photography to date.

Ricky Powell is a preserver of one of contemporary society's most important cultural moments: the proverbial Golden Age of hip-hop. Powell's ascendancy into hip-hop occurred as the culture was in its rebellious youth, born from his impulsive backstage raid of Run DMC and the Beastie Boys' Raising Hell tour in 1986. As fate would have it, the Beastie Boys would bring Powell along to photograph their 1987 License to Ill tour shortly thereafter. It was then that Powell was first exposed to the wild underground universe of hip-hop superstardom that he has continued to document with unparalleled candor and sarcasm on film.

Indeed, Powell's Apt. A collection presents a rare opportunity to look into the lives of hip hop's original luminaries before the culture was being taken seriously enough to merit coverage in mainstream media. Having shot everyone from Slick Rick to Eazy E at their most candid and simultaneously histrionic, Powell has gone on to publish several books of his photography, launch a TV program and partner with Lush Life's Ryan Sikorski to further immortalize his work through a streetwear brand that reeks of New York authenticity. Though his work has since taken him around the world several times, Powell remains aesthetically rooted in the streets of New York, anchored firmly to the environment that introduced him as a photographer back in the 1980s.

The exhibition will be on display from October 7th- December 7th. All pieces are signed and available for purchase at SHQ. Gift bags at the event courtesy of Lush Life, Akomplice, Proof 7, The Beatards and others to be confirmed. Apt.A is coordinated by SHQ and is the launch of the Ricky Powell World Tour 2009. Dates are still being confirmed for Tokyo and London.

The opening reception is Tuesday, October 7th @ 7pm at SugarHead Quarters located at 174 Rivington St.
After-party 9pm-midnight at Beauty Bar- 231 E.14th Street. Music provided by DJ Elle and DJ IXL.

SOCRATES SCULPTURE PARK was an abandoned landfill and illegal dumpsite until 1986 when a coalition of artists and community members, under the leadership of sculptor Mark di Suvero, transformed it into an open studio and exhibition space for artists and a neighborhood park for local residents. Once a rubble-strewn lot, it now flourishes as an ever-evolving natural landscape. Located in an industrial neighborhood in Long Island City, Socrates is a waterfront park that overlooks the Manhattan skyline; the site is an affecting and inspiring place for artists to work and a spectacular setting for the presentation of public art. To date, Socrates has hosted close to 700 artists and currently attracts more than 72,000 visitors annually. Socrates Sculpture Park is the only site in the New York Metropolitan area specifically dedicated to providing artists with opportunities to create and exhibit large-scale sculpture and multi-media installations in an outdoor environment that invites interaction between artists, artworks and the public.  Socrates Sculpture Park is open 365 days a year from 10am to sunset.  The Park is located at the intersection of Broadway and Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City. DIRECTIONS: BY SUBWAY: Monday through Friday take the N or W trains to the  Broadway stop in Queens and walk eight blocks along Broadway toward the East River.  On Saturday and Sunday take the N train to the Broadway stop.  For driving, cycling and walking directions, please visit our website: www.socratessculpturepark.org.
