THE BOOMBOX PROJECT
Hots on the heels of the renaissance for all things graffiti we get the chance to take a look at that old-school icon which was a prominent feature in the rock & roll, hip hop and punk movements that swept the nation during the 1970’s and 1980’s. Within the covers of The Boombox Project ($19) you will find some fine contemporary art portraits of a huge array of glorious vintage boomboxes along with stack of documentary style photos featuring the people responsible for bringing the boombox movement to life. Do not think this is merely a photographic collection however, it is also an oral history of those early days told through the memories of prolific names from those times.
