Jay ‘One’ Ramier – Not To Lose My Head

P1330133

JAY “ONE” RAMIER – NOT TO LOSE MY HEAD
HVW8 BERLIN

25.10–24.11 2018

Exhibition Opening
Thursday, 25 October 2018
6:00pm – 10:00pm
HVW8 Berlin – Linienstraße 161, 10115 Berlin
Free admission – Warsteiner refreshments will be served

In this series of paintings and collages, Jay “One” Ramier retrieves and reinterprets the first hip hop song that was also a work of social criticism. “The Message” performed by Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five, feat. Belle Mel and Duke Bootee, describes social disarray, violence, decadence, alienation and self-harm. Released in 1982, it was widely recognized as one of the most iconic songs of late 20th century, and still speaks to the social reality of today.

In “The Message,” hip hop’s tone, formerly celebratory, becomes one of desperate urgency:

“Don’t push me ‘cause I’m close to the edge
I’m trying not to lose my head
It’s like a jungle sometimes
It makes me wonder how I keep from goin’ under”

By crystallizing elements of the song and its video into still images, Jay Ramier invites us to pause and consider in detail the harsh realities and evocative expressions of urban life. In this moment, hip hop’s mission changes. Jay Ramier has always stated his love for music, which he considers inspirational and the mightiest of all art forms: “I like the way music, like the holy spirit, can take possession of one’s soul, either by the power of the lyrics or the enchantment of hypnotic melodies or sounds.”

The video cuts between frenetic New York City streets, South Bronx residents strolling or playing, elderly people lying in the streets, and abandoned lots of rubble. The group raps on stoops and street corners, and the police make conspicuous appearances.
In translating imagery from the music video into the medium of static visual arts, NOT TO LOSE MY HEAD reveals the lives that Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five sought to bring attention to and their lasting impact on us in today’s world.

Almost 40 years later “The Message” still rings true, speaking to economic pressures and systemic racism that persist today. On the one hand, Jay Ramier´s focus on the song highlights the ongoing nature of social inequality, but on the other hand, he explores the roles of popular music and art for expressing and questioning social experience, highlighting the importance of struggle and resistance.

About Jay “One” Ramier

Jay Ramier is a multidisciplinary artist working in the media of painting, video, installation and music. His work is an ongoing investigation into his own Caribbean cultural roots and the representation of African diaspora people in cultural spaces.

The narrative he constructs extends into and draws from the plenum of Pan-African experience from West African coast to the Americas. His work fuses the iconography of struggle and resistance as well as popular culture with the styles of musical and linguistic expression of African descendant worldwide. The focus is on the establishment of a new global system of representation to undermine that of western mainstream hegemony.

Jay has been key actor in the building of the European Graffiti and “Urban-Art” scene, a cosmopolitan Afro-centric movement, for the better part of thirty years.

Jay Ramier is a co-creator and contributor to many local magazine projects such as Paris Zulu letters – Hip Hop´s first international Zine, Backjumps Berlin – Street-Art´s first magazine. Currently, Jay is the Artistic-Director of and regular contributor to Afrikadaa, a magazine and conceptual project created in 2010. He has also published the book MOUVEMENT. Du terrain vague au Dance-floor 1984—89, ed. Les mots et le reste 2017. His work has been featured in the 2015 Venice Biennale exhibit “BRIDGES OF GRAFFITI”.

His work is an ongoing fight for a better and more accurate representation of Minorities in cultural spaces (galleries, museums, institutions) and the recognition and importance of Africa’s influences on modern and contemporary culture.

About the Exhibit

Through a series of evocative still lifes, light installations and videos, the artist recalls her childhood memories lived in the era between the end of the 80s and the beginning of the 90s in a sunny Italian season, dazed from images from TV advertisements of ice cream and sodas. Italy was still unaware of the approaching dark years of Berlusconism, in which American magnetism, shaking booties and the cult of money would sabotage the cultural landscape that had characterized the country during the 70s. The artist remembers afternoons spent sitting on plastic chairs outside ice cream parlors, with Heather Parisi playing on the radio and her mother smoking cigarettes while reading Hemingway, blue popsicles and glow-in-dark bracelets. In the years when Barbie Totally Hair was replacing Sophia Loren, summers seemed endless and dashing bicycle races with a Walkman on one’s ears were the best cures for loneliness.

About Olimpia Zagnoli

Olimpia Zagnoli was born in Reggio Emilia on the leap day in 1984. As a child she moved to Milan, where she currently lives and works. Olimpia studied illustration at the Istituto Europeo di Design (IED) in Milan and graduated in 2007. The following year, after a period of living in New York, she began publishing her illustrations in Italian and international newspapers. Olimpia draws on Futurism, as much as on The Beatles. Her unique style comprises essential images, curvy shapes and saturated colors, inspired equally by art history and pop culture.

Throughout the years she has collaborated with The New York Times, Taschen, Vanity Fair, New Yorker and Rolling Stone, to name a few. She illustrated three children’s books: “The World Belongs To You”, “Mister Horizontal & Miss Vertical” and created her version of the masterpiece “The Wonderful Wizard of OZ”. Her bright and ironic images have acted as a framework for advertisement campaigns for Google, Sephora, Air France, Clinique and Miller. She has worked with leading fashion brands, among them Fendi, Prada, Hermes and Marella (Max Mara group).

Along with commissioned works, Olimpia Zagnoli conducts her personal artistic research where she builds a dialogue between illustration and different artistic media. In particular, she experimented with the relationship between drawing and tridimensionality, as well as video: she crafted a series of design objects, kinetic sculptures and directed music videos. Her work has been showcased in numerous group shows around Italy and Europe, and in solo shows: “Parco Zagnoli” at the Ninasagt gallery in Düsseldorf (2014), “Cinetica Zagnoli Elettrica” at 121+ in Milan (2015), “La Grande Estate” at Mutty gallery in Castiglione delle Stiviere (2016) and “How To Eat Spaghetti Like a Lady” at Antonio Colombo Gallery in Milan (2017).

About the show

HVW8 Gallery and adidas Originals are pleased to present ‘Heart-Shaped Box’, an immersive exhibition of photography by Atiba Jefferson. Assembling large-scale lightbox cubes of Atiba’s iconic images, ‘Heart-Shaped Box’ establishes an interactive environment that shines a new light on the renowned photographer’s continually evolving practice. The show configures four lightboxes in a black-painted gallery space, illuminated from within to reveal a sublime view of Atiba’s portraits, action shots and cityscapes, while drawing attention to the essential component of light throughout the photographic process.

‘Heart-Shaped Box’ celebrates twenty years of Atiba’s photography. Keeping it fresh, the show collates images from his more recent archives, some of which have never been viewed beyond the dimensions of an iPhone screen. The installation presents digital and analogue work across five facades of the 8 ft lightbox cubes, enabling new dialogues to occur between the images when the structures are observed from different perspectives. “This collection of photos is how I view photography,” Atiba explains. “I like things to be different—from my lighting, format, angles and the same goes for my subjects. It’s not just skateboarding, it’s not just music, it’s not just people. It’s all the things I love.”

About Atiba Jefferson

Born in Colorado Springs, photographer and skateboarder Atiba Jefferson lives and works in Los Angeles. While these two passions have led to his international acclaim as a skateboarding photographer and working for Thrasher Magazine, Atiba also has a deep history with basketball, being a staff photographer for the LA Lakers during the Shaq and Kobe years, and shooting more SLAM magazine covers than any other photographer. Alongside commercial shoots for clients such as Supreme, adidas, Nike, Converse and Oakley, Atiba’s extensive portfolio also comprises music and lifestyle photography and has been exhibited across the globe.

BERLIN — HVW8 Gallery Berlin in collaboration with One Love Books presents

THREE THE HARD WAY

WILFRED LIMONIOUS: IN FINE STYLE
ALEX BARTSCH: COVERS
MAXINE WALTERS: SERIOUS THINGS A GO HAPPEN

September 8th – October 14th, 2017
Opening Reception September 8th 18:00 – 22:00

In Fine Style: The Dancehall Art of Wilfred Limonious, is the first solo exhibition of work by prolific Jamaican illustrator Wilfred Limonious (1949–99) in Germany, and includes reproductions of work from the early 1970s through the mid-1990s, spanning three key phases in his career: his comic strips for the Jamaican newspapers, his illustrations for the publications of JAMAL (the Jamaican Movement for the Advancement of Literacy), and his distinctive artwork for the burgeoning dancehall scene coming out of 1980s Jamaica. The exhibition is curated by Al “Fingers” Newman and Christopher Bateman and is produced by One Love Books with the support of the Limonious Estate, to accompany their book, In Fine Style: The Dancehall Art of Wilfred Limonious, the first study into the artist’s life and work.

London-based photographer Alex Bartsch makes his debut at HVW8 Gallery Berlin with photographs from his book, Covers: Retracing Reggae Record Sleeves in London, forthcoming on One Love Books. After researching various reggae LPs and twelve-inches from his record collection, Bartsch has re-photographed fifty sleeves in their original London locations, holding them up at arm’s-length so that they blend in with their surroundings, decades later. Presented in this way, the photographs document the transition of time, with the album cover serving as a window into the past, juxtaposed against today’s backdrop. From an ethnomusicological perspective the photographs also provide a fascinating insight into the history of reggae music in London, inviting the viewer to rethink the relationship between the city and its musical heritage. The exhibition includes ten select prints from the project, featuring records by artists such as John Holt, Carroll Thompson, Peter Tosh, Moodie, Jah Woosh, Pat Kelly and Smiley Culture.

Serious Things a Go Happen features various original signs and posters from the early 1980s through today, drawn from the collection of Jamaican film and television producer and director Maxine Walters. Jamaican dancehall emerged out of reggae in the late 1970s and brought with it a new visual style characterized by bright colors and bold, hand-drawn lettering. One-of-a-kind, hand-painted posters advertising local parties and concerts have become a ubiquitous part of Jamaica’s landscape, nailed to poles and trees across the island. The exhibition in conjunction with Walters’ book Serious Things A Go Happen: Three Decades of Jamaican Dancehall Signs (Hat & Beard Press) presents an unofficial history of Jamaican dancehall music told through its graphic design.

Flat Out

A solo exhibition by Jean Jullien

Graphic artist Jean Jullien applies his signature style to three-dimensional sculpture for the first time in the series of six steel artworks now displayed at HVW8 Berlin. The French graphic artist playfully explores the theme of laziness in soft brilliant-hued, life-sized figures that resolutely refuse to “do” much of anything. A keen observer of the everyday and current events, Jullien here focuses on moments of unadorned idleness that punctuate the hyperactivity of modern life.

EINHUNDERT – Diversity And Conformity – Berlin

15319273_10202289722440323_9079969719630513240_n

Einhundert teamed up with Native Teenage and a bunch of young talented local photographers to showcase a total of 100 sides to the city in a photo zine called ‘Diversity And Conformity’. 10 images by 10 artists – Einhundert views.

Join Native Teenage, adidas and us at HVW8 Gallery this Friday for our exhibition opening and Zine launch! Conplimentary drinks and food will be provided by Fechtner, plus Lee Stuart, Kristieyana and Nico Adomako on the Cdjs.

About the zine:
Diversity And Conformity. Two unstable magnitudes that bind a visual-driven culture. While the motivation on the concatenation of the following 100 pictures is to capture a indefinable collection of visual moments that have drawn the attention from 10 different individuals and photographers, the focus lies on the places they have been at the specific time this idea was born. By now this is Berlin.

Diversity and conformity. Effect or affect? How are you, the viewer, affected by what you see? What is the effect? Which image are you attracted to the most? What are you drawn to and why is this appealing to you?

Diversity and conformity. Subjective views turned into an objective analogue experience. Turn the pages, turn it around, close it, open it again and repeat. Its purpose is not to explain a process. It’s not to explain a cause. It’s a feeling that we try to envision, a feeling we try to evoke in the first instance and reproduce with each individual experience. Something tangible.

EINHUNDERT pictures. EINHUNDERT views.

Diversity And Conformity.
