Scrolls Book Release
Scrolls
“Scrolls” started at an airport about 9 years ago. Sven Barth began noticing that older men no longer had newspapers, they had phones. Entranced by these new devices they waited on their flights, completely oblivious to the outside world. And so, on every flight he took, he made it his mission to immortalize one of these older gentlemen. 7 years and dozens of flights later, Sven felt a book was the right way to collect this archive… and “Scrolls” was born.
In addition to the limited run of books, printed and bound by Sorella Studios, in Los Angeles, a selection of 20 of the original drawings grace the back walls of HVW8. They are framed by Sven himself with help from fellow frame maker and skateboarder, Josh Pall.

‘Paris De Noche’ World Premiere & Group Climate Listening Party
‘For the longest time I wanted to produce a skate video with an original soundtrack. Although not an entirely new idea, I wanted to try my hand at creating one myself. I believed in @n.rollings vision and execution in the way that he had always made skate videos and asked him if we should make one with our friends in which he obliged. We filmed extensively in NY, Philly, LA & Paris throughout 2023. This year was spent creating the music in which I am happy to finally announce with immense gratitude that @seedsofyaris and friends have provided the audio landscape for this project. Come join us this Tuesday at @hvw8gallery .’ – Sagen Lockhart

Mark Gonzales Book Signing NYC
Join Mark Gonzales for a signing of his Rizzoli book in New York. The book features photography from Sem Rubio as well as contributions by Hiroshi Fujiwara and Tom Sachs and Gus Van Sant. For more information or to purchase the book visit Rizzoli online.
“Named the “Most Influential Skateboarder of All Time” by Transworld Skateboarding, Mark Gonzales aka The Gonz is one of the most recognizable names in skateboarding, art, and street style. Born in California in 1968, Gonzales entered the skateboarding world at age 13, and by 16, was featured on the cover of Thrasher magazine. Widely revered since then as the inventor of street skating, Gonzales has remained one of the most prolific innovators in both skateboarding and contemporary art.” – Rizzoli
HVW8 also invites you to check out our collection of currently available works from Gonzales here.

Berlin Photo Week – DEAD END STREET
Dear friends from Berlin! Tomorrow we are going to open “Dead End Street” exhibition together with @manuelosterholt at the @hvw8gallery from 6pm, Linienstrasse 161
HVW8 Gallery Berlin and Berlin Photo Week are pleased to present DEAD END STREET, a double pop-up photography exhibition featuring Nikita Teryoshin and Manuel Osterholt.
With the work “I‘ve never been to Russia“, which began in 2019 and shows Russia going astray, Teryoshin deals with his homeland, which is gradually slipping into fascism. Whether religious parades or Victory Day in the pouring rain with slogans like “We could repeat it!“ on the red square, studios of propaganda tv shows or the notorious “Pavlov‘s dog“ under museum glass in St.Petersburg, which stands for classical conditioning, Teryoshin is always looking for suitable motifs that describe his feeling towards the zeitgeist. However, an always critical photo-documentary examination leads to a dead end on February 24th, 2022. Teryoshin posts a picture of a burning Russian passport under the caption “Not in my Name“ and decides not to return to his homeland for the time being in protest against the war.

Keith Forever
Skateboarding legend and streetwear pioneer Keith Hufnagel passed away at age 46 this year following a battle with brain cancer. To pay tribute to the HUF Worldwide founder, who helped pave the way for sneaker and streetwear culture in the early 2000s, his brand has launched an exhibition in Los Angeles.
Entitled HUF FOREVER, the exhibition is available for public viewing at the HVW8 Gallery from Saturday, Oct. 31 until Nov. 8. Open 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. to the public daily with COVID-19 precautions in place, the showcases features photography from Ari Marcopolous, Giovanni Reda, Tobin Yelland, Atiba Jefferson, and more. There’s also a tribute video on display by RB Umali, and a mural from Remio.
HUF will also release a t-shirt paying tribute to the late skate icon. Designed by Cali Dewitt and James Rockin, the shirt will be available at the brand’s Los Angeles store and the online shop. All proceeds from the t-shirt, which retails for $40, will go towards the non-profit Phase One Foundation, which support cutting edge cancer research.
“Keith Hufnagel paved the way for all of us,” the brand added. “As a respect professional skateboarder, shop owner, brand founder, footwear and apparel designer, creative director, and industry leader. He showed us how to do it, and how to do it right. Keith’s legacy will continue to live on at HUF. Today, tomorrow, and forever.

Mike Blabac – Family Portraits
For Immediate release: 11.5.19
“There are a very small number of people that have been photographing skating consistently for as long as I have. I’m lucky that my skateboard and camera have allowed me to travel the world with my friends skating just like I did as a kid growing up in the Midwest. Skating is like a family – I’ve known all those guys in the film for most of my life.” – Mike Blabac
HVW8 Art and Design Gallery in Los Angeles will host a book release party November 8 for legendary skateboard photographer Mike Blabac’s “Family Portraits,” published as a limited edition with just 500 copies available.
The evening will also include the premiere of Jacob Rosenberg’s short film, “Mike Blabac – Family Portraits,” as well as a selection of some of Blabac’s most iconic photos on display.
Over the last quarter century, Blabac captured an archive of skateboarding history, including Danny Way’s backside 360 over the Great Wall of China and Josh Kalis’s Love Park tre flip over the can.
But this collection isn’t just about skating and people flying through the air. The real trick is how Blabac’s work represents a group of kids who slowly changed the landscape of our culture while creating a family with ties that can’t be broken and the lessons they taught each other along the way.
With an accompanying short film by director and fellow skater Rosenberg, we are brought into an intimate world where everyone was welcomed as long as you had heart.
The viewer is treated to a depth of work only accessible through deep connection and trust.
After the one-two punch of the stunning portraits and the moving film, you will be moved by the intimacy and connection these artists share with you — even if you’ve never pushed off on a board.
Join us Friday, November 8th/ 7-10PM at the HVW8 Art + Design Gallery in Los Angeles for Mike Blabac’s Family Portraits book release and film premiere directed by Jacob Rosenberg with live music by Ray Barbee.
Please RSVP to RSVP@hvw8.com
Peter Beste – October 19th – Brave New Views
HVW8 Gallery and NTS return with a new edition of Brave New Views this October, featuring an exhibition by photographer Peter Beste – ‘Defenders of the Faith’ – exploring the subcultural phenomenon of heavy metal fandom. The event will be accompanied by some suitably heavy DJ sets from Nuge, NTS resident Diamondstein and B2B set from Josh Anzano and Angry Andy. Free with RSVP: stop by HVW8 Los Angeles on Saturday 19th October from 7-10pm PST.
🗯 Photographer Peter Beste has been documenting subcultures for over 20 years. His fourth book, also titled Defenders of the Faith, is a photographic treatment of traditional heavy metal culture and dress code – distilled through fervor and time to an almost sacred object – the battle vest. Often referred to as a Kutten (German for monk’s robe), the vest has become a practice of identity. In Beste’s own words, “for many, it shows how “true” one is by how authentic their patches are, which festivals they have attended, or which bands you got to see way back when. It is an object that gains in value as it deteriorates, and is pretty much never bought or sold. You have to create your own.”
🔊 Don “The Nuge” Nguyen is a pro-skater for Baker Skateboards and played bass in Oklahoma garage band American Ruse.
🔊 Diamondstein is an NTS resident host best known for experimental, drone heavy electronic mixes, here showcasing his metal collection for Brave New Views.
🔊 Josh Anzano B2B Angry Andy – two local heavy metal scholars go head to head.
