Talk Music Talk With Boice

Since the 1970s, armed with a 16mm camera and his curiosity, filmmaker and artist Charlie Ahearn was a pioneer chronicler of the nascent days of hip-hop and street culture in New York City. He soon migrated to movies including the super 8 kung-fu film The Deadly Art of Survival (1978) and the seminal Wild Style (1983) which documented the excitement of graffiti art and rap music and is recognized as the first hip-hop movie. Not limited to film, Charlie has also published books and created silkscreen paintings. A new solo exhibition, Scratch Ecstasy, is an exhilarating summation of his talents across mediums. The exhibit is currently running at New York's P.P.O.W. Gallery through June 24, 2017.
