For Boogie and his camera, the journey from Belgrade to Brooklyn wasn’t actually that far. Growing up amid the violent transition out of socialism, Boogie’s lens cut its teeth during Serbia’s civil war in the ’90s. In 1998, a U.S. green card won in the national lottery moved the photographer out of Belgrade, but Boogie’s fascination with human margins and marathon desperation has followed him to Brooklyn.

Whether snapping neo-Nazi youth, gangsters, or binging crack addicts, it’s not just danger and the usual moralizing that happens in Boogie’s frames. There’s an easy familiarity in his black and white frames — a discomforting, not-quite-sweet edge that makes his harsh portraits unflinchingly human.

Celebrating the release of Boogie’s eponymous limited edition book, the powerHouse Area is throwing an opening tonight in Brooklyn hosted by Dante Ross and 10Deep.

Parallel to the Brooklyn show, which runs through March 30th, the Galerie Olivier Robert in Paris also has an exhibition up through April 12th.

If you’re a hip-hop head and you happen to be in Atlanta this week, the A3C festival will have you feeling exactly like a kid in a candy store. Three days of live music, street fashion and break-dancing battles are just some of the treats you’ll be getting.

The party gets started today with performances from Little Brother, Wale, and Del tha Funkee Homosapien — just to name a few. Make sure to get a good night’s rest ‘cause Friday will consist of a whole new level of craziness with a Rawkus showcase and the Juice Crew reunion. Yeah that wasn’t a typo, a Juice Crew reunion!

Other legends will be in the building doing what they do. L.A sensation Blu will also be on deck along with Ta’Raach and they’ll be performing some of their new collaborative material. The festivities come to an end on Saturday with a producer showcase featuring the likes of The Alchemist and DJ Toomp and performances from the Re-Up Gang and Tanya Morgan amongst others.

This was just an avant-gout of some of the goodies that you’ll be getting this weekend; make sure to hit up this for more details on exactly how sick the weekend is bound to be.
