This one week exhibition will showcase rare performance & behind-the-scenes images captured by cognito while accompanying Mos on the two year journey of making & supporting the June 2009 release of The Ecstatic.
Candid photographs of Mos Def, include images from visits to the Cape of Great Hope, South Africa, performing in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and a powerful series of US Summer Tour “end-of-the-night posse shots” featuring such artists as Jay Electronica, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, and even a surprise guest appearance by the legendary Shuggie Otis. Cognito has also immortalized Mos Def in bright moments from “The Ecstatic” studio sessions with producers Madlib, OH NO, Preservation & Georgia Anne Muldrow. The photographs in this exhibit, soon to be published in book format, are offered by Mos Def to his family, friends and fans in order to share the many “ecstatic moments” he experiences while creating, recording, traveling and performing around the world.
The exhibition will be open to the public from January 30, 2010 through February 6, 2010 at the HVW8 Art + Design Gallery, located at 661 N. Spaulding Ave., Los Angeles CA, 90036; open Tuesday to Sunday, 1 – 6 pm or by appointment. (323) 655-HVW8(4898)
Dang everyone we know has been jetsetting internationally. Bamu spreading the positive vibe to the UAE at the Fujairah Monodrama Festival.
Bobbito just returned from a trip to Senegal where SEEDS Foundation invited him to coach clinics in four Senegalese cities over a three-day weekend. It is part of its GROW THE GAME program which helps kids learn how to play ball and inspires them to choose education as a route to self-empowerment. Read about his experience here.
If you didn’t get a chance to attend the Youth Run 4 Haiti, you can still help out by purchasing a Help Haiti tokidoki leopard shirt (as seen on Josh Duhamel) for $25. All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross. Both men’s and women’s shirts are available at the Melrose tokidoki store and online here.
A top art critic from The Los Angeles Times once called Eriberto Oriol “a people’s aesthete for his discerning eye.” Indeed, Eriberto’s photos have a strong sense of perspective and composition. This formal sensibility is further elevated by his gift for capturing the raw essence and realities of L.A. Latino street life and instilled in Eriberto’s son, Estevan Oriol, at an early age. Altamont presents a video, in two parts, about its collaboration with Eriberto, directed by none other than Estevan Oriol. (from Hypebeast)

While we know everyone is focused on Haiti, we cannot tear ourselves away from the latest VBS TV series on Liberia. Straight craziness. More here. And people in the U.S. think they’re watching “reality” on tv…
Big up all massive and crew! We’ve just started the biggest tour of our careers and it’s been amazing thus far. We’re out with Rebelution and Soja, two dope reggae groups. It’s definitely a different look for us, and it’s been lovely! All of the shows have been sold out thus far, what a blessing! We’re hitting the entire US, so we’ll definitely be in a city near you. Check the dates and come out and experience the livest tour of 2010!!
