–Ken Scrudato, Blackbook
"Writing the Future' differentiates itself as the first major exhibition to contextualize Basquiat’s work in relation to his peers associated with hip-hop culture."

Editorial Reviews Review A seminal survey of 80s graffiti and street art, this book features the works of Basquiat alongside his contemporaries including Keith Harring, Lady Pink, Fab 5 Freddy and others. Black, Latinx and immigrant stories are translated through a form of artistic expression that moved from the boroughs and into galleries across the world. (David Saric S Magazine)
[Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation] traces how a group of young artists involved in the hip-hop scene went from tagging subway cars to participating in the mainstream, white-dominated art world... (Nora McGreevy Smithsonian)
This catalog is a true companion to a physical exhibit. Instead of acting as a monograph for the “lone genius artist,” a typical trope in the history of western art, the exhibit tells the story of a community of artists, all with varying levels of notoriety within their own circles and the art world at large. The texts and images weave a story that calls upon all five senses by referencing music, visual arts, film, and dance. The exhibit catalog presents Basquiat as his whole self, which includes his cultural influences, collaborators, and friends, and does not isolate him from the moment in time that enabled his rapid rise to fame. (Jasmine Burns ARLIS/NA Reviews)
[T]here’s more to this exhibition than putting Basquiat in context. It’s about a bigger phenomenon ― a struggle for visibility that spilled over into hyper-visibility. It addresses a key period in Black creativity and urban youth culture, an extended moment too little understood by a mainstream culture that consigns it to the margins even as it swims in the very conditions it created. (Sebastian Smee Washington Post)
From the streets to the studio: [Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation] explores how Basquiat, graffiti and hip-hop culture stormed the art world in the 1980s. (Gabriella Angeleti Art Newspaper)
This American artist powerfully captured the refracted, outsider energy of rap, punk, graffiti, and hip-hop, expressive forms moving in from the fringes. “Writing the Future” places Basquiat at the center of these movements, and is the first exhibition to look at his work in the context of hip-hop culture. (Joel Lobenthal Airmail)
[An] immersive cultural anthropology, weaving together art, music, and the vibrant rhythms of the city that spawned it all (Murray Whyte Boston Globe)
...Enigmatic, loud, a little scattered, and above all a lovingly faithful simulation of the joyful chaos of another time. It’s wildly evocative and transporting ― holistic, immersive, experiential, and far greater than the sum of its 120-plus parts. [...] This is Basquiat in the thick of his community. (Murray Whyte Boston Globe)
...Feel like the most important exhibition on Basquiat you’ll ever see, and he’s just one artist among the show’s dozen. [...] It’s wildly evocative and transporting ― holistic, immersive, experiential, and far greater than the sum of its 120-plus parts. (Murray Whyte Boston Globe)
Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation?, sought to contextualize Basquiat’s work in an art and culture scene of his co-conspirators who really meant to remake the world they had inherited.
