PowerHouse Arena, in conjuncton with the publication of powerHouse Magazine #3, is studying capitalism in action with “The Hustle.” The exhibit is about the art of selling… anything. Selling sex, selling drugs, selling clothes, selling souls, selling dreams, selling schemes, selling anything. The powerHouse Arena will be transformed into a Hustler Wall of Fame with a broad selection of artists contributing their vision of this iconic figure in America culture.
PowerHouse Arena is presenting this exhibit with Juxtapoz Art and Culture Magazine, the seminal publication thas has covered the world of underground contemporary art for 14 years. The exhibit contains works by artists commenting on cultural characters. Be sure to chek out Keiji Ando and Luke Behrends on Dick Cheney, Ron English on Ronald McDonald, and Boogie on Chris Nieratko. The opening reception will feature Bronx DJ Michael “Emz” Greene spinning, a mural by graffiti artist HOST18, and drinks from Union Beer.
