2 LATE 2 HATE 2 is an exhibition of artwork by the late Carlucci Bencivenga (AKA ELF MPC)
and over 50 artists who contributed works for sale to raise money to archive and publish
the work of Carlucci.
The title of the exhibition refers to the name of Carlucci’s final solo exhibition, 2 LATE 2 HATE.
Carlucci was a prolific artist whose body of work ranged from painting and printmaking to graffiti and
noise performances. He was a luminary of the Lower East Side art scene and an integral thread in the
community that has woven throughout the neighborhood over the past 15 years. Carlucci was an
avant-garde artist whose art was his life and life was his art, intrinsically referencing movements such as
CoBrA and the Viennese Actionists.
Over 50 friends and colleagues donated 8” x 11"ˇ works on paper to be sold for $50 each.

Jose Parla - Dutch Masterson - Kondor8 - Craig Klein - Kosuke Aoki - Carlucci Bencivenga - Steve Ellis -

Lord Finesse VS Percee P (1989)
The tracking is a little messed up at times.
The summer of 89 was long before (affordable) digital video cameras were commercially available. It was also one full year before Lord Finesse and DJ Mike Smooth dropped their debut album Funky Technician on Wild Pitch records.
It’s the return of the funky man…
