Video – Free Thinkers Issue #2 Launch | HVW8 Gallery LA

From Lifetime Collective  –

This past Friday March 30th, 2012 we brought together LA based Lifetime Collective friends and family at HVW8 Gallery in Hollywood for a one night only event celebrating the release of our Free Thinkers Zine Issue #2! The night was amazing and fortunately we captured some really great footage of the whole experience!

The festivities kicked off with a print and photo show of select works form the zine followed by a live performance by The Mattson 2and DJ set by KCRW’s Jeremy Sole. The night was truly amazing with Lifetime Collective Artists and Free Thinker Zinecontributors bringing the experience to life. People from all over the city came together to make the night one for the books.

Big thank you to The Mattson 2, Jay Howell, Ray Potes, Jeremy Sole, Thee Oh Sees, HVW8, and American Rag!

And our good friend Joey Indrieri for the film and edit.

Enjoy the video!

Here are a few words about the zine:

Welcome to our second issue of Free Thinkers zine. This has been a long time coming for us. The zine was born from our original Lifetime Books that were published along with our catalogs. The zine will provide a home for interviews, artwork, photographs, travel logs, ramblings, stories and articles on Lifetime and the world via our friends in the Collective. It will provide a place where we can communicate to you (the reader) our ideas, thoughts, dreams and wishes. This second issue touches on an overarching theme of “The creative process,” and what that might mean to us all. In the following pages you’ll find a some conversations, stories and photographs with Thee Oh Sees, the scene of Topanga California in the 70’s, The Mattson 2, Featured artists/designers Niall McClelland and Ryan Rhodes. This issue also looks at the artwork of Hunter Longe, a selection of zones from Brass Tracks Publishing, Cameron’s Books in Portland, our friends at Collage Collage in Vancouver, BC and a photo essay with Michael Jager.

 

 

During the event we’ll be launching Free Thinkers Zine Issue #2 with a gallery exhibition as well as a performance by The Mattson 2 between 9pm-11pm.

Also music by DJ Set by Jeremy Sole (KCRW/theLIFT/Afro Funké)
