“Turn Up the Volume” Exhibition
Bronx Art Space
This event has ended.
Turn Up the Volume features the work of Jane Dickson and Joseph Lewis.
Street Art, Hip Hop, Graffiti, and Breakdancing have become ubiquitous global currency, Who would have believed in the 1970s that The South Bronx was the weed in the crack of the pavement of the Western Aesthetic canon whose growth would shatter the dominance of that cultural narrative? Essentially teenage voices, sights, and movements shook the very foundation of global art and society.
And not just any voices—Black, Brown, Yellow, and yes a few White voices of the underserved and underrepresented neighborhoods abandoned by the powerful would rise up and prove that one group’s vision cannot maintain a strangle hold on the development and implementation of aesthetic criteria.
Jane Dickson arrived in Times Square in 1978, began working on projects at Fashion Moda in The South Bronx in 1979. Joseph Lewis grew up on Broadway during the golden age of the pop music business and subsequently wound up in The South Bronx at Fashion Moda.
