ART+DESIGN GALLERY EXHIBITIONS 2007-2010 HVW8 Art + Design Gallery represents and facilitates the spirit and collaboration between art, music and design. In 1998 Tyler Gibney founded HVW8 in Montreal with local artists Gene Pendon and Dan Buller and in 2005 he and Addison Liu opened HVW8 in Los Angeles. With a focus in supporting avant-garde graphic design, it soon became the premier underground gallery in Los Angeles and over the past three years has featured artists such as Parra, Geoff McFetridge, Kevin Lyons, Ed Templeton, Lance Mountain, Mos Def with Cognito, Charles Munka, Raif Adelberg and Alvaro Illizarbe. HVW8 Art + Design Gallery / hvw8.com 661 N. Spaulding Ave. / Los Angeles, CA 90036 Open Tuesday through Sunday from 1-6pm or by appointment: 323.655.4898 EXHIBITIONS 2010 Inner City Avant-Garde 4 Ulysses Pizarro Darnell Prince Noah Davis F*** I Love You 11 Raif Adelberg Celestial Beings 23 Alvaro Ilizarbe/Freegums Check Cashed 33 Bill McMullen Slippery People 39 Noah Butkus One Way Or Another 51 Mark ‘Fos’ Foster Ben Horton Matt Irving Double Knock Out 59 Charles Munka Disaster Exhibition 73 Lance Mountain Skypager Mos Def-Ecstatic Moments 87 Photos of Mos Def by Cognito Megane Zine Show Art Show 91 Ed Templeton 2009 Michael, Kevin, & Geoff-New Works 93 Michael Leon Kevin Lyons Geoff McFetridge Is That A Gun My Friend? 109 Parra Your Mom’s In My Business 119 Kevin Lyons Enjoi Just Another Skateboard Art Show 131 Winston Tseng 2008 Got Next Tour 2008-Go Tell Mama! 135 Ray Noland aka CRO 2007 La La La 143 Parra Fly Girls 151 Brent Rollins SSON Bike Show 153 Tobias Adolfson Parra Brent Rollins Geoff McFetridge Willo Perron Tyler Gibney Adrian Nyman Grotesk HVW8 Art Installation 163 Dan Buller G Starship Tyler Gibney LOOK MOM, NO TALENT ULYSSES PIZARRO DARNELL PRINCE NOAH DAVIS A satellite show to the Gray Day exhibition curated by Noah Davis at the Roberts & Tilton Gallery, HVW8 Art + Design Gallery along with Inner City Avant-Garde are proud to present “LOOK MOM, NO TALENT” an exhibition of new works featuring Ulysses Pizarro, Darnell Prince and Noah Davis. Inner City Avant-Garde (ICAG) is an anarchic collective of three artists hailing from both coasts but forged in the crucible of Brooklyn. The connection between Pizarro, Prince and Davis was made nearly a decade ago, but the bond was never broken. A few loose early collaborations slowly grew and became more focused when the ICAG was made formal over a bottle of Rosé in early 2010. Now, the highs, lows and improvised weapons of this collective’s earliest work are finally having their West Coast debut. 4 5 Niggas, 2010 Love, 2010 spray paint and gloss on canvas spray paint and gloss on canvas 85.5” x 58.5”, 217cm x 148.5cm 85.5” x 58.5”, 217cm x 148.5cm $500 $500 Oxycontin, 2010 Ally McBeal, 2010 acetate, found frame spray paint and gloss on canvas 13.5” x 10.25”, 34cm x 26cm 85.5” x 58.5”, 217cm x 148.5cm $500 $500 Xanax Stick, 2010 Street Art, 2010 cast plastic, aqua resin, plaster broken Heineken and Coca-Cola glass 6.25” x 23” x 1.5”, 16cm x 58.5cm x 4cm 24” x 36” x 2.5”, 61cm x 91.5cm x 6.5cm $750 $500 7 Dinobat, 2010 80’s dinosaur toy 60’s Louisville slugger lighted pedestal bat= 35” x 6.5”, 89cm x 16.5cm pedestal= 42.5” x 12” x 12”, 108cm x 30.5cm x 30.5cm $500 8 Dinobat Jr, 2010 Mini 80’s Dinosaur Toy 60’s Louisville Slugger 18” x 4”, 45.5cm x 10cm $500 Carpet Gun, 2010 table leg, stained with gloss paint & gloss nail Louis Vuitton bag gun= 28” x 2.5”, 71cm x 6cm bag= 6” x 4” hangs 22”, 15cm x 10cm hangs 56cm $500 9 Look Mom, No Talent, 2010 spray paint on oil paint, semi-gloss finish 36” x 36”x 1.5”, 91.5cm x 91.5cm x 4cm $500 10 F*** I LOVE YOU RAIF ADELBERG Step inside the HVW8 Gallery and see artist / designer Raif Adelberg transform the space into a punk rock flophouse. Channeling CBGB, Barbara Kruger, and Vivienne Westwood, the space Raif creates is called Dead Boys Clubhouse. It’s an environ- mental space that pops up around the world and creates this incestuous gang. Bratty, caustic, and in-your-face, that’s the surface of Adelberg’s art, pop imagery that comes together in paintings and silkscreens on canvas, wood, paper and cloth- ing. But look a little closer and you will see that FUCK I LOVE YOU is all about perception and free will. “To look at things in a negative light is a choice. When you get upset you’re really relinquishing your power to the subject matter. It’s all about the power of choice,” he says. While Adelberg’s intent isn’t to shock you, he also won’t mind if you are…and you wouldn’t be the first. At a recent show in London (Doyle Devere Gallery) he grabbed the attention of the local bobbies who demanded that the words “FUCK I LOVE YOU” on the gallery walls inside be covered up. “It’s interesting that such a positive message can be viewed in such a negative light, I think more people need to say FUCK I LOVE YOU. Its amazing to me a simple gesture can receive such a reaction either way,” says Adelberg. 11 12 13 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 14 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 15 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 16 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 17 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 18 Untitled,2010 Untitled, 2010 original print on pressed wood original print on pressed wood 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm 48” x 60”, 122cm x 152cm $3,800 $3,800 19 Untitled, 2010 Untitled, 2010 print, edition of 10 print, edition of 10 18” x 24”, 51cm x 46cm 18” x 24”, 48cm x46cm $250 $250 20 Untitled, 2010 print, edition of 50 18” x 24”, 46cm x 61cm $60 21 FREEGUMS Unititled, 2010 Untitled, 2010 digital print on paper digital print on paper 24” x 28”, 61cm x 71cm 24.5” x 33”, 62cm x 84cm $40 $40 Untitled, 2010 digital print on paper 22 24.5” x 22.5”, 62cm x 57cm $40 CELESTIAL BEINGS FREEGUMS The creative wit behind Freegums is Miami based artist Alva- ro Ilizarbe. Somewhat a staple of the South Floridian lifestyle, Ilizarbe came to Miami from his home country of Peru in 1989. After graduating with a BA in design from the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale, the desire to make his innovative work widely acces- sible led to the inception of the Freegums clothing label. With an ardent appreciation for madcap aesthetics, comfort, and individuality, Freegums transforms the everyday garment into a timeless personal gesture. Featured in art shows, boutiques and publications around the world, the Freegums collection cannot be classified as a street-wear brand or high-fashion line, but rather as a means-based artistic label that continues to pave a distinc- tive path in the fashion industry by responding with considered enthusiasm to popular sub-culture trends. Freegums appeals to the creative sensibilities of funky eccentrics. His work exemplifies entertaining aspects of popular American culture and materialistic iconography. Satisfying a need to have fun and be entertained, the clothes invoke contented feelings of fulfillment, shedding light on American culture’s indulgence of guilty pleasures and ‘the cool’. 23 24 Being 2, 2010 marsh ink on wood 33” x 50”, 84cm x 127cm $1,200 25 Being 3, 2010 marsh ink on wood 39”x 53”, 99cm x 135cm $1,000 26 Being 3 detail 27 28 Being 4 detail Being 4, 2010 marsh ink on wood 35” x 48”, 89cm x 122cm $1,000 29 Being 5, 2010 marsh ink on wood 24” x 48”, 61cm x 122cm $1,000 30 Being 7, 2010 marsh ink on wood 33” x 44”, 84cm x 112cm $1,000 31 CHECKS CASHED BILL MCMULLEN 32 CHECKS CASHED BILL MCMULLEN “Bill McMullen wields a light-saber wit all his own… Think Bruce Nauman meets blaxploitation: funky but chic, subversively milking high art for cheap laughs.” – Flavorpill Checks Cashed is the current gallery show by beloved/notorious artist Bill McMullen, opening July 31st, 2010 at Los Angeles’ HVW8 Art + Design Gallery. Checks Cashed is all about subverting history with absurd pop-cultured imagery. The new work from the Southern California bred, NYC-based McMullen embraces both Situationism and situation comedy, landing in between with its confrontational black-and-white monochrome language of punk rock flyers and escort-service ads. It’s at once familiar, entertaining, and disturbing, especially to a new generation of consumers who’ve never had to deal with anything like the economic failure, war, or the environmental disasters of today. McMullen is renowned for his witty, pointed combination of high art presentation, graphic design immediacy, and street art’s confrontational boldness. He’s as well known for his KidRobot toys, Adidas designs, and Beastie Boys album covers as he is for his gallery shows, and he blends that provocative sensibility into Checks Cashed. Rooted in the visual language familiar to those living paycheck to paycheck, Checks Cashed picks up where McMul- len’s previous exhibition at L.A.’s Constant Gallery, 2009’s Hype, Hustle, Rip Off, left off (“Fantastic cutting-edge art – definitely worth seeking out,” SlamXHype raved; “McMullen’s work ultimately resonates because it does more than brand, copy, market, and elevate,” noted Limité).

It has not been previously submitted, in part or whole, to any university or institution for any degree, diploma, or other qualification. Signed:_________________________________________________________ Date:______5th June 2018 ________________________________________ Dave Hook BA PGCert FHEA Edinburgh i Abstract The published works that form the basis of this PhD are a selection of hip-hop songs written over a period of six years between 2010 and 2015. The lyrics for these pieces are all written by the author and performed with hip-hop group Stanley Odd. The songs have been recorded and commercially released by a number of independent record labels (Circular Records, Handsome Tramp Records and A Modern Way Recordings) with worldwide digital distribution licensed to Fine Tunes, and physical sales through Proper Music Distribution. Considering the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, the accompanying critical reflection is an autoethnographic study, focused on rap lyricism, identity and performance. The significance of the writing lies in how the pieces collectively explore notions of identity, ‘outsiderdom’, politics and society in a Scottish context. Further to this, the pieces are noteworthy in their interpretation of US hip-hop frameworks and structures, adapted and reworked through Scottish culture, dialect and perspective.
  • Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change Around the Fall of the Berlin Wall

    Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change Around the Fall of the Berlin Wall

    Ecstatic Melancholic: Ambivalence, Electronic Music and Social Change around the Fall of the Berlin Wall Ben Gook The Cold War’s end infused electronic music in Berlin after 1989 with an ecstatic intensity. Enthused communities came together to live out that energy and experiment in conditions informed by past suffering and hope for the future. This techno-scene became an ‘intimate public’ (Berlant) within an emergent ‘structure of feeling’ (Williams). Techno parties held out a promise of freedom while Germany’s re-unification quickly broke into disputes and mutual suspicion. Tracing the historical movement during the first years of re-unified Germany, this article adds to accounts of ecstasy by considering it in conjunction with melancholy, arguing for an ambivalent description of ecstatic experience – and of emotional life more broadly. Keywords: German re-unification, electronic dance music, structure of feeling, intimate publics, ambivalence. Everybody was happy Ecstasy shining down on me ... I’m raving, I’m raving But do I really feel the way I feel?1 In Germany around 1989, techno music coursed through a population already energised by the Fall of the Berlin Wall. The years 1989 and 1990 were optimistic for many in Germany and elsewhere. The Cold War’s end heralded a conclusion to various deadlocks. Young Germans acutely felt this release from stasis and rushed to the techno-scene.2 Similar scenes also flourished in neighbouring European countries, the United States and Britain around the 1 ‘Raving I’m Raving,’ Shut up and Dance (UK: Shut Up and Dance Records, 1992), vinyl.

    3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (Guest Post)*

    “3 Feet High and Rising”--De La Soul (1989) Added to the National Registry: 2010 Essay by Vikki Tobak (guest post)* De La Soul For hip-hop, the late 1980’s was a tinderbox of possibility. The music had already raised its voice over tensions stemming from the “crack epidemic,” from Reagan-era politics, and an inner city community hit hard by failing policies of policing and an underfunded education system--a general energy rife with tension and desperation. From coast to coast, groundbreaking albums from Public Enemy’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back” to N.W.A.’s “Straight Outta Compton” were expressing an unprecedented line of fire into American musical and political norms. The line was drawn and now the stage was set for an unparalleled time of creativity, righteousness and possibility in hip-hop. Enter De La Soul. De La Soul didn’t just open the door to the possibility of being different. They kicked it in. If the preceding generation took hip-hop from the park jams and revolutionary commentary to lay the foundation of a burgeoning hip-hop music industry, De La Soul was going to take that foundation and flip it. The kids on the outside who were a little different, dressed different and had a sense of humor and experimentation for days. In 1987, a trio from Long Island, NY--Kelvin “Posdnous” Mercer, Dave “Trugoy the Dove” Jolicoeur, and Vincent “Maseo, P.A. Pasemaster Mase and Plug Three” Mason—were classmates at Amityville Memorial High in the “black belt” enclave of Long Island were dusting off their parents’ record collections and digging into the possibilities of rhyming over breaks like the Honey Drippers’ “Impeach the President” all the while immersing themselves in the imperfections and dust-laden loops and interludes of early funk and soul albums.

    Dehd Announce Flower of Devotion Remixed, out September 17Th Via Fire Talk, and North American Tour

    July 21, 2021 For Immediate Release DEHD ANNOUNCE FLOWER OF DEVOTION REMIXED, OUT SEPTEMBER 17TH VIA FIRE TALK, AND NORTH AMERICAN TOUR LISTEN TO “FLYING - PHYSICAL MEDIUM REMIX” Photo Credit: Keeley Parenteau Last summer, Chicago-based band Dehd released Flower of Devotion, “an effortless, elegantly rumpled strain of indie rock” (Best New Music, Pitchfork), via Fire Talk. The album was welcomed with open arms by fans and critics alike, including the FADER, Vice, Variety, Vulture, Bandcamp, and more. Today, they announce Flower of Devotion Remixed, out September 17th, and a North American tour. In conjunction, they share one of its tracks, “Flying - Physical Medium Remix.” The remix album sees Dehd surrounded by a myriad of close collaborators (Lala Lala, Protomartyr, Freak Heat Waves, and more). It points a shining spotlight on the Chicago music scene the band still calls home, staying true to the trio’s earnest melodies while creating an amorphous blend of experimentation in mutated indie pop that feels like a personal mixtape for the friends that know them best. The first single, “Flying - Physical Medium Remix,” was completed before the remix record was even conceived. “I'd like to give Physical Medium a special shout out for planting the seed and really opening my eyes and ears to the world of remixing,” says Jason Balla. “Their passion for it has been infectious.” “What I love about dance music is that it exists to put my body into motion,” Balla continues. “It can do so many things that a normal song can’t because of its humble mission: keep the asses shaking.
