"Riddim Driven: A 25th Birthday Salute to VP Records and Dancehall Reggae"
September 10 - November 1, 2004

"Riddim Driven: A 25th Birthday Salute to VP Records and Dancehall Reggae" opened at the Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery, 516 W.25th Street, on Friday, September 10, 2004. The group show uses photography to tell the story of VP Records, the Queens-based label which is to dancehall reggae what Def Jam has been to hiphop -- and is this year celebrating its 25th year of operations in America.

In fact, the show reaches back to the island nation of Jamaica in the late Fifties, which is where and when Vincent "Randy" Chin and his wife Pat (respectively the "V" and "P" in VP Records) first entered the record business as the proprietors of Randy's Records. The show then proceeds to follow the Chins from Kingston, Jamaica to Jamaica, Queens - and Jamaican music from Jamaica to America.

May 21 - July 01, 2004

Vivid Show Ranges from the Seventies to the Present,
From Brooklyn to Brazil

The Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery is delighted to announce its new show: "Urban Blight -- The Graffiti Photography of Ernie Paniccioli." The
exhibit features over 30 photographs of great graffiti pieces, shot
over a span of 30 years, in locales ranging from New York's five
boroughs to the American south to Sao Paulo, Brazil. The vast majority of these photographs have never before been exhibited. (And virtually all of the graffiti pieces themselves have long since been destroyed.) The show will also include a dozen or so photos documenting the mid-Eighties hip-hop craze for graffiti'd blue jean jackets.

"WORK IT! Images of Women in Hip Hop"
February 20 - March 27, 2004

The Eyejammie Fine Arts Gallery is currently hosting "Work It! Images of Women in Hip-Hop", a special photographic tribute to the ladies of hip-hop. It is the gallery's featured exhibit for Black History Month (February 2004). The show presents sparkling images of the most talented women ever to rock a mike, run a label, cut up a record, bomb a train, or spin on her neck. "Work It!" is curated by Isolde Brielmaier, a hip-hop head with a Ph.D. from Columbia University. Many of the images in the show were created by women photographers. And legendary graffiti artist Lady Pink was commissioned to paint the mural in the gallery that commemorates the show.

"This show is going to blow up the commonly-held misconception that women in hip-hop must be 'bitches' or 'ho's,’” says Ms. Brielmaier. "On the contrary, we'll see women performers in full control of their image and their careers." "Work It!" showcases photos of female hip-hoppers onstage, on the street, in the studio, in the subway, on the set of music videos, movies, and television shows, and chilling behind the scenes with their friends, colleagues, husbands and children.

(Pictured on the right: Lady Pink and her "Work It!" mural.)
