Monja Gentschow – Kurzurlaub, Opens Nov. 17th, 6 – 9pm, Berlin


the highlights of my childhood days were
the family’s all-inclusive tours
my sister and i would browse through catalogues
and select the hotel (according to the pool)
endless seas of parasols, a poolside,
colorful drinks from the hotel bar,
turquoise water and 90ies chairs became
the symbols of my longings
head vacation?
ignoring the news because too sensitive
nowadays, if we need a short break
we escape into the vacations of others on instagram
italy, dolce vita – LA, palms and pools –
mykonos, parasols and cliffs
a time of relaxation for me and
the audience
the beautiful, carefree and simple
inspired by your holiday picture

ANGELUS NOVUS – GROUP EXHIBIT

OPENING
September 14, 2022, 6 – 9 pm

Exhibition Runs until October 29th.

HVW8 Gallery Berlin is pleased to present Angelus Novus, a group exhibition featuring the works of Amalia Vekri, Aristeidis Lappas, Elias Kafouros, Gregory Shimada, Jessica Williams, Joram Schön, Marley Van Peebles and Negashi Armada, with an opening reception on Wednesday September 14th.

In this exhibition we examine the work of a group of artists who are based in Athens, Berlin and Los Angeles, and who work primarily in figurative drawing and painting styles that explore cultural and personal spaces of imagination and reflection. The geographic specificity of the selection of artists in this exhibition serves as a means to represent the passing of time through the geographic space of the West.

The title of the exhibition, Angelus Novus is a reference to the mono print of the same name by Swiss / German artist Paul Klee. The artwork, which depicts an angel flying through space is often cited in the essays of German philosopher and art theorist Walter Benjamin and used as a metaphor to describe the passing of time.

“A Klee painting named Angelus Novus shows an angel looking as though he is about to move away from something he is fixedly contemplating. His eyes are staring, his mouth is open, his wings are spread. This is how one pictures the angel of history. His face is turned toward the past. “
-Walter Benjamin, Theses on the Philosophy of History

We find modern interpretations and ways to apply the metaphor of the Angelus Novus to our own respective place and time, as we follow the Angel of History through the present into the future.

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.

Cross-Side Crystal Hybrid Orbital

HVW8 Gallery Berlin is pleased to present cross-side crystal; hybrid orbital, a group exhibition curated by Irene Carbonari exploring experimental forces around the idea of the ‘hybrid’. Bringing together the works of eleven contemporary artists from Germany, France, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Russia, the show evokes notions of merging the human, the machine, and the natural organism. The varied presence of hybrid forms in the works are embedded within the complexities and nuances of lived experiences, creating visual odes to the eternal mutability of expression.

In cross-side crystal; hybrid orbital, the works straddle multiple states or slip away from direct categorization, and are characterized by the merging of mediums, including digital, light and sculptural installations, paintings, ceramics, and augmented reality. The works reveal the destruction and reckoning to come from the rise and proliferation of networks and connections within our material world, and the human drive for production and so-called progress.

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.
