The performance begins by focusing on Robert Moses, the architect of the Cross Bronx Expressway, which ruthlessly cut through communities and greatly contributed to the overall isolation and neglect of the South Bronx in the 1970's and 80's, providing a dystopian backdrop for the development of Hip Hop and graffiti subculture.

The Hecklers

A heckler is someone who tries to unsettle others with questions, challenges or jibes. This exhibition brings together a range of artists who comment on social and political issues, often with a degree of playfulness. Woven through the exhibition is an exploration of ideas around "primitivism" and the re-working of modernist ideologies in the present day.
