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.

NTS X HVW8 – Brave New Waves

Square - Brave New Views
HVW8 Gallery and NTS present a new series exploring the relationship between art and music. Each installment of the series will feature an art exhibition & opening event together with musical performances for broadcast and artist interview podcasts.

The inaugural exhibit opens July 19th at HVW8 Los Angeles, featuring:

🗯 Ross Schwartzman, a.k.a Ross One’s installation exploring music consumption and identity via personal sound systems, comprising a wall of over 30 vintage boom boxes.

🗯 Charlie Ahearn‘s Doin’ Time In Times Square, a home movie “capturing the old capital of sleaze in all its pathetic glory”, filmed in part during the production of Ahearn’s classic 1983 hip hop film Wild Style.

🗯 LA filmmaker Calmatic and Steven Traylor‘s video and art installations, questioning the means of how we consume music, media, and technology – including their music video for Vince Staple’s FUN!, shot from the perspective of an interactive Google maps session.

The opening event will feature musical performances from Budgie & Battlecat as well as a DJ set from Ross One, recorded and streamed on NTS Radio platforms worldwide.

Parra ‘The One That Got Away’ Print available on Exhibition A

 

Parra
The One That Got Away
edition of 50

now available on Exhibition A

 

from Exhibition A website – 

If you are in the Los Angeles area, be sure to catch the new Parra show, “Kind Regrets,” at HVW8 Gallery, an exhibition which comes fresh off his SFMOMA summer installation, an epic mural that the museum described as post-Pop. The former graphic designer follows in a long tradition of commercial artists like Andy Warhol and KAWS who later found their footing in contemporary art. Parra shares Takashi Murakami’s super flat appreciation of image-making, but with a sly sense of humor and a spare visual irreverence. His anthropomorphized characters reek havoc on the romantic in bold primary blocking that’s unmistakably Parra.

“My wife and I are always having friends over for dinner so when they come through they usually bring us tons of drinks and desserts. We always have a fridge full of ice cream and an obscene amount of wine and liquor at the house. I need to figure out a home bar situation. Here are some I like.”
