Jen Stark

Had a chance to stop by the Pulse Art Fair today and visit with Jen Stark at the Show and Tell Gallery booth.

Her work is amazingly detailed layered cut outs from wood and paper, that are labored, intricate and often take over a month to complete. The work puts you into a hypnotic state and have a kaleidoscope effect with moving parts and animation. We were lucky to be introduced to Jen through Alvaro Ilizarbe, her Miami counterpart and companion, at his HVW8 Gallery opening last year.

Here’s small video and photos from today. Thank you Cooper Cole/Show and Tell.

Barnstormers vs. HVW8, Music by Rich Medina, Montreal 2001


At tomorrows ‘The Site of NOW’ show there will be a small section on display from the “Barnstomers vs. Heavyweight”  Live painting session that was done in Montreal in 2001. It featured Montreal artists from Heavyweight; Gene Pendon, Tyler Gibney, Dan Buller with the NYC based collective Barnstomers; featuring David Ellis, Rostarr, Mike Ming, Jose ‘Ease’ Parla.

The piece was done at a large party in Montreal with music by Rich Media, with the artists going over each other back and forth. The final was a bit of a drunken mess but still cool to check out.

On display through Oct. 3 to 15th at Royal/T in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA.

For more than ten years, HVW8 Production House has blurred the lines between art, music and design. Established in 1998 in Montreal, Canada, HVW8 Production House’s initial artistic endeavor was the HVW8 Art Installation with artists Tyler Gibney, Gene Pendon and Dan Buller. After the group’s first “live painting” performance series at the Montreal Jazzfest, HVW8 started touring the world creating live pieces along side musicians such as the Herbalizer, Roots Manuva and Africa Bambaata, while holding exhibitions at such esteemed galleries as Parco in Tokyo, Museo De Arte De Puerto Rico in San Juan and MOCCA (Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art). HVW8 then created the acclaimed installation series “Political Minded” in 2004, which showcased in pop-up galleries in NYC, Montreal, L.A. and San Francisco.

In 2005, The HVW8 Art + Design gallery was established in Los Angeles as a studio + gallery space for HVW8 and friends. The current mandate is to support avant-garde graphic design, such as Dutch designer/illustrator Parra, Swedish design house SSON, skateboard company enjoi and American designer’s Brent Rollins, Kevin Lyons and Ray Noland. Most recently, HVW8 Records was founded in 2008. Look out for upcoming releases by Red “the Man Without the Machine,” Master Blazter feat. Computer Jay, J-1 and Dam-Funk and Hawthorne Headhunters with Black Spade/Stoney Rock.

Parra in Berlin

parra-poolgallery

Dutch artist Parra is set to emark on his very first exhibition and pop-up shop initiative in Germany later this month. An artist who’s style has come to be known for his eclectic mix of type fonts, iconic colors and sexualized imagery, the Amsterdam-based creative will look to have his work displayed first via an exhibition at Pool Gallery in Berlin followed by a pop-up shop at Wood Wood Berlin two days later. Aside from his own personal artwork, he has also become heavily involved in music act Le Le.
