Happy New Year from HVW8 – 2018 Year in Review

Four_Conversations

Happy New Year from HVW8!

As we head into an amazing line up for 2019, we look back at all the incredible exhibits, installations and performances from HVW8 Los Angeles, Berlin and beyond this past year.

We were lucky to have a number of exhibits from an international group of artists such as Gogy Esparza, Inès Longevial, Atiba Jefferson, Olimpia Zagnoli, Chi Modu, Steven Traylor, and Erin D. Garcia to name a few. We continued with our Creative Class Series for intimate interactions with our gallery artists on their creative process and started an Emerging Artist Program to give a platform for up and coming artists.

We continued with our diversity in programing with a variety of installations, performances, radio broadcasts and artist talks with the likes of Kali Uchis, Snoop Dogg, Standing on the Corner, RZA and Einhundert.

Look for an amazing line up for 2019!

Below are a few links from some highlights of 2018.

FOUR CONVERSATIONS Berlin

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.

Secret Cities : Paris with artist Inès Longevial

In a new film, Paris-based artist Inès Longevial walks us through her daily routine. From morning painting in her airy Haussmann apartment to afternoon strolls through the streets of the French capital, stopping at a few local spots along the way.

Look for an upcoming exhibition with Inès later this year.
