New York's Museum of Modern Art is hosting their third exhibition on the intersection of music and art. Titled "Looking at Music 3.0," this show presents the New York scene of the 1980s and 1990s, a rich period when graffiti, performance art, and hip hop emerged from the underground. The show features the work of dozens of artists like Keith Haring, Diamanda Galas, Karen Finley, Christian Marclay, Sonic Youth, Run DMC, Afrika Bambaataa, Kathleen Hanna and Le Tigre, and Laura Levine. At left is Levine's stunning portrait of Talking Heads bassist Tina Weymouth and hip hop legend Grandmaster Flash, shot in 1981 for a cover of New York Rocker.
