HIP HOP – Living a Dream

2024-10-19 – 2025-01-04 · Köln, Germany
HIP HOP – Living a Dream

Galerie Bene Taschen is pleased to announce HIP HOP – Living a Dream, an immersive exhibition showcasing the works of renowned photographers Jamel Shabazz (born 1960), Joseph Rodriguez (born 1951), and Gregory Bojorquez (born 1972). From the early 1980s on, each of these three American chroniclers provides distinct insights into the rise and global impact of American hip hop culture. HIP HOP delves into the lifestyle that, in combination with music, graffiti, breakdancing, and fashion, evolved into a worldwide phenomenon – from the streets of 1980s New York to Los Angeles, the Southern United States, Europe, and beyond, persisting into the present day. The exhibition is accompanied by music, interviews, and memorabilia.

  • Shirin Neshat. BODY OF EVIDENCE

    2025-03-28 – 2025-06-08 · Milan, Italy
    Shirin Neshat. BODY OF EVIDENCE

    The first large solo exhibition in Italy by Iranian artist Shirin Neshat, who through her film and photographic works explores the identity representations of feminine and masculine in her culture. In the tormented photographs of women, with their faces marked by Farsi calligraphy or wearing the hijab and holding guns, the woman’s gaze becomes a powerful and dangerous communication tool. Concepts such as martyrdom, the space of exile and matters of identity are examined through poetry and calligraphy. In her practice, the artist uses poetic imagery to deal with the themes of gender and society, the individual and the community and the dialectical relationship between past and present, through the lens of her experiences of belonging and exile. Curated by Diego Sileo and Beatrice Benedetti.
