Artist and musician Ric Clayton has been at the flashpoint of several cultural movements originating in Venice, California. His black and white illustrations for the thrash punk band Suicidal Tendencies are instantly recognizable around the world. Clayton not only created the logo and much of the early artwork for the band, but also played bass guitar for them for a time. He also created artwork for Neighborhood Watch, Excel, Against, Beowülf, and No Mercy.

Clayton was in the mix just as punk and metal cross-pollinated in the early ‘80s. He also stood at the crossroads of the Dogtown skating scene and cholo culture in Los Angeles. Impossibly, Clayton embodied and portrayed all of these movements simultaneously in his artwork.

Mark Gonzales in Paris

HVW8 Gallery is pleased to present “Mark Gonzales in Paris”, a new solo exhibition by Mark Gonzales. Marking the artist’s first solo exhibition in Paris, this is a homecoming of sorts for the artist and skateboarder who resided in the city in 2010. Gonzales’ new exhibition arrives just before an Olympic Games that will feature street skating (which he famously pioneered) and puts on display a new body of work made exclusively for this Paris pop-up. New paintings feature Gonzales’ signature ‘schmoo’ characters among a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes. The exhibition also features a fresh array of original drawings with a variety of new characters in various moods and scenes.

“Mark Gonzales in Paris” opens from 6-10pm on June 27th, 2024 and will remain on view through Saturday, July 6th, 2024. The artist will be in attendance for opening and signing copies of his eponymous Rizzoli book on June 28th.

Opening June 8th, 6 – 10pm
at HVW8 Berlin. 161 LinienStr

Southern California has been the backdrop for stories captured on film and television. The myth created around it has been sold as street lined palm trees and blue skies. For many native Angelenos they see this as a single thread to a larger picture. From the sunny shores of Malibu to the mountains of Mammoth the identity of SoCal is heavily intertwined with the years of wear and tear, reinvention, and intervention this land wears proudly.

Fading neon lights, murals boasting achievements and heroes, and buildings from different eras of the region hold their weight in the visual tapestry. Artists Paul Flores and Henry Fey are great admirers of their home, often working as visual anthropologists to document/source material that captures time and location. For this exhibition at HVW8 Berlin the two artists invite viewers to experience the famed land through the eyes of natives. An opportunity to see the colors and compositions funneled through intimate artistic practices. Vignettes of Los Angeles and the towns that lie past its city limits are on display throughout the space, each allowing the viewer a chance to get transported 5,784 miles back to their place of origin. Just like the landscape they inhabit, pieces in the show often bare many layers, both literally and metaphorically. The two artists are interested in capturing time, feelings, and narratives that accumulate on top of one another just like how it happens so naturally in this region. At the heart of Flores and Fey’s artistry lies a deep appreciation for the graphic aesthetics that define Southern California. They contextualize it into a visual poem, one in which they’ve generously invited you to read.

ALAIN LEVITT ‘NYC 2000 – 2005’ now on view at HVW8 LA

ALAIN LEVITT
NYC 2000 – 2005
May 30th – June 29th, 2024
Opening May 30th, 7-10pm
Please RSVP at rsvp@hvw8.com

Photography is more about time than light. The instantaneous click of the shutter, where light imprints an echo of a moment onto film that, with emulsion, becomes a tangible trace of a time that the viewer will never see again. Even digitally, it’s the same idea: we look into the past when we look at photography. So what kind of past do we see in Alain Levitt’s photographs? First, they are shot on film, so we see a time before digital cameras and social media sped up the time from the shot to the audience. This matters. Alain’s photos record a past time, perhaps the last time, that one posed for photos they may not ever see. This may explain the naked innocence that reads as vulnerable bluster or decadent swagger depending on the subject. Some subjects hoped they’d end up a Do, while secretly feeling like a Don’t. Alain tenderly captured that indeterminacy. At the turn of the millennium, hipster fashion drew from the seventies and eighties because the future was unimaginably bleak. Do’s and Don’t’s were about humor and horror: facing the ruins of a forfeited future, how else could one react but with sneering laughter? Surrounded by death with no job security, social currency and cultural capital mattered most. Levitt preserved in film’s incandescent flicker the last gasp of a fugitive, underground nightlife. Behavior wasn’t yet proscribed by clout. Photographic time was still produced in emulsion not gigabytes. Pinched between the glorious afterglow of New York’s subculturalJason Dill heyday and the dawn of a life lived through a screen, Alain shot his friends as they stumbled through the flux at 4am. The images are timeless because his subject was between epochs, out of step with the rest of the world. Now two decades later, these don’t stand so much as record of a bygone era, but a blueprint for what being young New York City has become: a provisional gig-economy city driven by social spectacle. That fleeting moment in time has been preserved for all time.

About ALAIN LEVITT

Alain Levitt – Born in Santa Monica in 1974, Alain grew up freerange on the west side of Los Angeles. Skateboarding, Graffiti, Raving – the trifecta of 90’s subcultures – helped inform his worldview and gave him a home amongst the outcasts. The same world he would focus his lens on after moving to New York in 2000. (Where he lived with Dill and Mikey for a short stint) Not yet a photographer, Alain picked up a camera out of necessity. His first job in NY was shooting street fashion for his sister, Danielle Levitt’s, Sunday style column in the New York Post – a job that required carrying a camera 24/7. Alain recalls showing up to Max Fish and being gently made fun of for his oversized Paparazzi rig. His second job, at the infamous gay bar The Cock, gave him a front-row seat to a wild NY that was quickly being choked out by Mayor Giuliani and provided enough income for this budding photographer to only work two evenings a week. More time to run the streets. Alain quickly found his community on the Lower East Side. Alife by day, Max Fish at night. And after starting a biweekly party, with Spencer Sweeny, at The Hole, Alain planted his seed in the downtown scene. These photographs represent a specific time in New York. A time just before iPhones, a time just before party websites. A New York still informed by the generation before that had sent out a beacon to guide us to a family we didn’t know we were part of. This book is not about the photographs but of a beautiful moment we were so lucky to be part of.

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.

To RSVP for our opening reception please email rsvp@hvw8.com, to inquire please contact info@hvw8.com

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.

City of Quartz 2 – Berlin Gallery Weekend

 

City of Quartz 2

At HVW8 Berlin
Linienstraße 161

April 27 – May 26, 2024
On the occasion of Berlin Gallery Weekend

Featuring:

Alfonso Gonzalez Jr
Eddie Salinas
Emmanuel Louisnord Desir
Fulton Leroy Washington
Rikkí Wright
Willbert Olivar & Lalo Avila

City of Quartz 2 is a follow up to the eponymously eponymous exhibition from March of 2020, which opened just days before the world would close down…
Ironically the initial exhibition lifted its name from the 1990 book by author Mike Davis, which examines how contemporary Los Angeles had been shaped by different powerful forces in history much like the Covid 19 pandemic would come to shape and effect the entire world.. As the dust continues to settle in a post pandemic paradigm, we once again assemble a group of seven Los Angeles based artists at an attempt to understand where we might by be headed in the City of Quartz.

Los Angeles, regarded as the media capital, has long been responsible for authoring and disseminating trends in culture that reverberate the world over. Perched on the edge of the western world, we begin at the end and work our way toward the future, literally, in time and place our findings from the once sleepy desert village onto the European stage (the beginning of the western world) and examine them in a way one could only do in a city like Berlin Germany.

The two HVW8 galleries bookend the entirety of The West, with a bunch of stuff happening in between, City of Quartz 2 is an attempt to understand what the heck is going on in a world which feels to be spiraling at an ever accelerated pace.

City of Quartz 2 will open during Berlin Gallery Weekend with an opening reception on Friday April 27th and continue on view through the end of May.

Gallery Weekend marks the beginning of the spring and summer season in the region where the gallery will expect to receive hundreds of visitors over the course of the exhibition. City of Quartz 2 is the continuation of periodical surveys examining the shifting zeitgeist of Los Angeles through its most prominent artists of the moment. Within the exhibition several of the artists have been included in major museum exhibitions, and biennials such as Made in LA, and the Rubell Museum.

‘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.

McKay Felt – ‘In The Blink Of An Eye’

IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE”
An exhibition by McKay Felt x HVW8 Gallery

HVW8 Gallery Los Angeles is proud to continue its nearly 20-year exploration of the relationship between art and music with a debut solo exhibition by acclaimed artist and illustrator McKay Felt. Now based in Los Angeles, McKay’s career has led him to collaborate with Grammy Award-winning artists such as Flying Lotus, Thundercat, Knxwledge, Anderson .Paak, and Gorillaz.

This exhibition marks a decade of McKay creating art with musicians, beginning with his first collaboration with Flying Lotus in 2014. Since then, he has worked with Little Simz, DOMi and JD BECK, Kari Faux, and contributed to Donald Glover’s Atlanta.

McKay follows in the tradition of legendary artists such as Egon Schiele, Hieronymus Bosch, Taiyo Matsumoto, Gustav Doré, Alphonse Mucha, Suehiro Maruo, Pedro Bell, Mati Klarwein, Moebius, and Guido Crepax, speaking his own graphic language. His work spans multiple media, including film, animation, television, jewelry, stage design, and art direction.

The exhibition will showcase works created over the past decade, highlighting McKay’s exploration and expression through line drawings inspired by the music of his collaborators. Though many of these pieces feature vibrant colors, they originate from hand-drawn ink or graphite, offering a tactile experience whether viewed on screen or in person.

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.
