NOSTALGIA FALSA April 19th – May 25th, 2024, HVW8 LA
Opening April 19th “Nostalgia Falsa”
Join us Friday, April 19th from 6-10 p.m. in our Los Angeles Gallery for the opening of“Nostalgia Falsa” a group show curated by Kari Padilla.
Art not only evokes memories but also delves into nostalgia as a strategy to critically analyze the past and its influence on the present. This exploration involves there interpretation and questioning of established historical narratives, challenging common perceptions of collective memory and offering new perspectives on distant events that contribute to our identity.
“False Nostalgia” arises when one yearns for a place or time they have never truly lived in. It also fictionalizes the memory of lived experiences. However, the mechanism of this type of nostalgia serves to critically recognize ourselves and create connections with that which is distant, as it is somehow connected to us and impacts the physical and emotional experience of the here and now.
This group exhibition of five Mexican artists – Napoleón Aguilera, Julio García Aguilar, Marianela Castro Mercado, Alonso Robles, and Trilce Zúñiga Loya – serves a critical purpose by inviting the public to recognize themselves and create connections with seemingly distant experiences. The sentiment resonates through a familiar visual language in artworks spanning painting, sculpture, and mixed media, exploring themes of supposed Mexican identity: family celebrations, machismo, cultural nuances, desert, and urban space. Ultimately, for better or for worse, these narratives are somehow reproduced in other places and times.
The exhibition explores the relationship between memory, identity, and cultural connections.

Apertura el 19 de abril “Nostalgia Falsa”
Acompáñanos el viernes 19 de abril de 6 a 10 p.m. en nuestra galería de Los Ángeles para la inauguración de “Nostalgia Falsa”, una exposición colectiva curada por Kari Padilla.
El arte no solo evoca recuerdos, sino que también se sumerge en la nostalgia como una estrategia para analizar críticamente el pasado y su influencia en el presente. Esta exploración implica la reinterpretación y el cuestionamiento de las narrativas históricas establecidas, desafiando las percepciones comunes de la memoria colectiva y ofreciendo nuevas perspectivas sobre eventos lejanos que contribuyen a nuestra identidad.
La “Nostalgia Falsa” surge cuando uno anhela un lugar o tiempo en el que nunca ha vivido realmente. También, interpreta con ficción el recuerdo de lo vivido. Sin embargo, el mecanismo de este tipo de nostalgia sirve para reconocernos críticamente y crear vínculos con aquello que es distante, pues de alguna forma está conectado a nosotros y repercute en la experiencia física y emocional del aquí y ahora.
Esta exposición grupal de cinco artistas mexicanos – Napoleón Aguilera, Julio García Aguilar, Marianela Castro Mercado, Alonso Robles y Trilce Zúñiga Loya – sirve un propósito crítico al invitar al público a reconocerse a sí mismo y crear conexiones con experiencias aparentemente distantes. El sentimiento resuena a través de un lenguaje visual familiar en obras de arte que abarcan pintura, escultura y medios mixtos, explorando temas de la supuesta identidad mexicana: fiestas familiares, machismo, matices culturales, desierto y el espacio urbano. Al final, para bien o para mal, estas narrativas se reproducen de alguna forma en otros lugares y tiempos.
La exposición explora la relación entre la memoria, la identidad y las conexiones culturales.

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

NOTHING LASTS – Raj Debah
Setting out on a meaningful journey to shine a light on an untold story, using the tools of mixed media shaped by photos, artifacts, collage, found footage, and video art. I use my work to connect with themes of human isolation and evolution to explore the complex story of nomadic assimilation. I focus on the scarcely recorded histories of indentured and indigenous communities with historical bonds to the West Indies. Uncovering their journey as a mirror to my own existence and a way to confront my struggles tied to growing issues of censorship, bigotry and oppression across the globe.
– Raj Debah
Born in 1978 in Manhattan NYC and raised up in the Bronx NY hailing from first generation immigrant parents from the West Indies. Raj Debah now lives and works practicing his art in Los Angeles California.
