The rest of the second floor is filled with the Contact High show, "A Visual History of Hip-hop"
Walls in the Contact High show
The Contact High show fills several rooms with hip-hop photography- in the largest room there's a view of Essex Street through a window which spans several stories.
On the third floor, there's a dramatic balcony with views of the gallery below- along the balcony walls the museum is showing "The Lower East Side: Selections from the ICP Collection", with pictures of the neighborhood throughout the 20th Century
In the middle of the third floor, "James Coupe: Warriors" is showing in a large room- he's devised a set of cameras that allow visitors to deep-fake themselves into the clips from the iconic movie.
