Amidst the dark and foggy New York nightlife of the 80’s often filled with drug dealers, prostitutes, pimps, stick up kids, addicts and con men was a crew of kids primarily from Brownsville (U.S.A. – United Shoplifters Association) and Crown Heights (Ralphie’s Kids) that adopted a uniform head to toe of Ralph Lauren. Tales of the crew, sometimes 30-40 deep, walking into a Ralph Lauren store and taking what they want then walking out became legendary and the posse earned a serious reputation in a short amount of time.

We grew up watching the older dudes and our cousins rocking classic pieces, so we took notes. That was us before we got put down with Lo-Lifes. We were seeing these dudes fucking wearing somebody else’s rent like it’s nothing.

[About the Lo-Life Crew:] Unsuspecting tourists and chumps too eager to flaunt the day’s latest threads were preyed upon by opportunistic locals. Dookie rope chains were being snatched on the daily, and various coats were game, especially shearlings and jackets the streets referred to as “Suicides.” Suicides were usually pricey outerwear made by an affluent brand. [...] But the jacket the term was associated to the most back in those days was the Ski ’92 Polo jacket. We called that the ‘suicide’ ski jacket because if you wore that out in the street it was like suicide. You would probably get killed for it,” super-producer Just Blaze tells Complex in a 2012 interview. [...] They stole and robbed to either rock or sell whatever apparel they acquired. Lo-Life co-founder Rack-Lo received his moniker for his uncanny shoplifting ability. Boosting and racking are slang words for stealing. The term “boost” is usually attributed to those who steal for money while the term “rack” is usually used by those who steal for sport or necessity. Both words mean essentially the same thing nonetheless. “We used to be graffiti writers, so we would rack cans. One day we were in Jersey and figured if we could rack cans we can rack clothes,” Rudy-Lo recalls from his days as a booster. He continued, “The first clothes we took were Benetton. Then we did Guess, Tommy [Hilfiger], and Polo stores. Polo got the most attention, though, so we would get that the most. We took ladies’ clothes, too. We would go to nail and hair salons to sell them. Sometimes we would even sell clothes on the train going home.” [...] It may not have been the only brand they rocked, but Polo had a special meaning for the squad, which always aspired to a better life. The crew, with its mantra of “love and loyalty,” helped individuals remain a unit despite their chaotic environment and kept them focused on upward mobility. Ralph Lauren clothing represented that life. [...] In the ghetto, children don’t grow up playing polo, sailing or skiing, so a brand like Polo helps them project a sense of affluence. [...] To outsiders, boosters may seem like simple thieves, but in the hood they help decrease the gap between the rich and the poor. What’s that Jigga line? “Boosters in abundance, buy a half-price sweater new.” They made luxury brands more affordable. [...] [John Green] has been a Lo-Life since 1993. He’s one of many O.G.s that still appreciates the brand today. His favorite Polo era was the ‘90s, a time before big pony logos and diffusion lines like Rugby Ralph Lauren and Ralph Lauren Denim & Supply. The visual language of that specific time in Polo's history can still be felt today. [...] Like many hip-hop artists, the crew has helped popularize a brand while expecting nothing in return. All they ever wanted was to dress in fly shit. To Ralph Lauren, these kids may seem like a market segment, but to these kids from Brooklyn, Ralph Lauren is a way of life. [...] With streetwear and high fashion looks merging more than ever before, it's the ideal time for the Lo Lifes to turn their movement into a clothing line. Just a few months ago, Thirstin announced the launch of the Lo-Life collection. [...] “We’re going to glorify our brand and put it in the spotlight, the same way we did for Ralph Lauren all these years,” he says.

WE ALWAYS HAD A HEAVY EMPHASIS ON 'LO. IT MADE US EXCLUSIVE. THE COLORS STOOD OUT AND PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY US. POLO BECAME A UNIFORM.

Das sozialkritische Experiment von Signe Pierce veranschaulicht, wie tief Transphobie und Frauenfeindlichkeit noch immer in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft verwurzelt sind. Als die Künstlerin brutal zu Boden geschubst wird, hilft ihr kein/e einzige/r der gaffenden Menschen auf.

Kunst ist nicht dazu da, um sie anzuschauen, sondern um über sie nachzudenken.

Das eine ist ein Zufallsschnappschuss aus der Mensa, das andere ist anerkannte Kunst eines weltbekannten Fotografen. Da frage ich mich: was ist heute überhaupt noch Kunst? Kann dann nicht jeder ein Künstler sein und theoretisch alles zu Kunst machen? Wer entscheidet, was Kunst ist und was nicht? Und woran liegt es, dass bestimmte Sachen von der Gesellschaft als Kunst anerkannt werden und andere nicht?

Straßenmalerei in Köln-Deutz (2017)
Straßenmalerei/ street art ist dazu in der Lage, spielerisch und zugleich kunstvoll Meinungen und Kritik zu äußern und somit den Betrachter zum Denken anzuregen. Das schöne dabei ist, finde ich zumindest, dass street art so “plötzlich” ist. Wenn man in ein Museum geht, erwartet man vorher schon, dass man mit kritischen Ansätzen konfrontiert werden wird. Das tut man allerdings nicht, wann man ganz gemütlich eine Straße entlang geht. Dann springt einem plötzlich so ein Graffiti wie oben ins Auge und man muss erst mal stehen bleiben, um es sich genauer anzugucken. Manche sind einfach nur schön anzusehen, andere jedoch kritisch und liefern somit einige Denkanstöße. Für mich ist sowas in jedem Fall auch Kunst, vor allem weil sich street art so selbstverständlich in das urbane Gesamtbild passt und sich somit in den Alltag integriert, ohne seine individuelle Note oder message zu verlieren.
