FOUR CONVERSATIONS
April 28th – June 16th, 2018

A Gallery Weekend group exhibition featuring four artists celebrating HVW8 Gallery’s fourth year in Berlin. Featuring Inès Longevial (Paris), Julian Smith (Mallorca), 44Flavours (Berlin) and HuskMitNavn (Copenhagen).

Opening: Friday, April 27, 6-10 pm

HVW8 Gallery’s mandate has always been to support and foster new and emerging artists as well as provide a platform for international artists. After expanding from Los Angeles to Berlin, HVW8 has continued to support local artists as well as provide an inclusive environment for dialogue and communication between artists from various cultures and mediums.

Over the past 4 years HVW8 Berlin has carried on this cultural exchange, from exhibitions about the early years of hip- hop in the Bronx (Lisa Leone – How You Like Me Now?) to Jamaican roots culture (Three the Hard Way featuring Wilfred Limonious and Maxine Walters) to clean California graphic design (Brian Roettinger – 8 Announcements) to showcasing Berlin based artists and collectives such as Haw-Lin Services, Sebastian Haslauer and Einhundert.

Four Conversations continues this ongoing dialogue with a diverse international group of emerging artists.

RECONSIDERATION

44FLAVOURS

Opening: April 7th, 2018
Exhibition: April 11th–April 21st, 2018

For over a decade, Julio Rölle and Sebastian Bagge have been working collaboratively at the intersection of art and design. Their practice is rooted in graffiti and graphic design, which continues to inform their style, technique and light- hearted approach to making. Rölle and Bagge have an unshakeable DIY-attitude: they celebrate the ability to improvise and transform any piece of paper, wood or fabric into a work of art. Their ethos is keeping it analogue.

44flavours is a living dialogue. Not just existing between the creative duo themselves, but connecting them with all forms of visual culture that surround and inspire them. This dynamic enables Rölle and Bagge to incorporate traditional points of reference with a playful touch, informed by current visual phenomena.

HVW8 Gallery Berlin was established in 2014 by HVW8 Gallery co-founders Tyler Gibney and Addison Liu. HVW8 Gallery was founded in 2006 in Los Angeles with a focus on supporting fine art and avant- garde graphic design. HVW8 fosters artistic visions at the intersection of art, music and design, and collaborates with an international community of artists. Emerging and established artists such as Brian Lotti, Jean Jullien, Cody Hudson, Jerry Hsu, Jean André, Atiba Jefferson, Brian Roettinger and Haw-lin Services have exhibited their works in Berlin at HVW8.
