What do Ad-Rock, Dick Cheney, and every recent Playboy centerfold have in common? They're all successful at the art of the hard sell, at least according powerHouse. That's the theme of the publisher's latest magazine, called The Hustle, which bows tonight with a party at the powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn. It's accompanied by a photo exhibit of those icons and many more, including the pic of the Beastie Boy to the left, snapped by Ricky Powell. The space also features a "Hustler Wall of Fame," for which artists like Ron English have contributed works that pay tribute to capitalist sensibilities. No word on whether or not Larry Flynt approves.
Through July 13 at the powerHouse Arena, 37 Main St., Brooklyn, NY, (866) 99-ARENA, powerhousearena.com
