Conversation with Ari Marcopoulos x Barry McGee x Keith Hufnagel x Fab 5 Freddy
Thursday October 29, 2009

Photographer Ari Marcopoulos, artist Barry McGee, Keith Hufnagel of HUF SF, and hip-hop pioneer/historian/former graffiti artist Fred Brathwaite aka Fab 5 Freddy will be subjects of a program at the Berkeley Art Museum on November 8th, 2009. Looks like our purveyors of culture are getting intellectual with a stimulating conversation.

The vibrant worlds of graffiti art, skateboarding, and hip-hop are vividly chronicled in the photography of Ari Marcopoulos. Three leading personalities from these different but overlapping scenes will converge at the Berkeley Art Museum for an expanded look at the photographer’s work.

Following an illustrated presentation of his photographs, Marcopoulos will join New York–based hip-hop pioneer and historian and former graffiti artist Fred Brathwaite; skateboard legend Keith Hufnagel; and noted painter and graffiti artist Barry mcGee in a freewheeling conversation that contextualizes the exhibition while exploring cultural intersections.

Sunday, November 3rd, 3pm. Included with museum admission, members always free.

Exhibition, films by Ari Marcopoulos will also be presented at Pacific Film Archive on November 11 and 18.
