“When I started interviewing the artists, I was so inspired by their willingness to suffer for a calling they found pure. Their audacity made them saintly to me. I wanted to explore belief in one’s art and the way it relates to religious faith and spiritual calling. Creative practice almost becomes a religion. And I think, through it, you become closer to God.” - @kilokish The title of the show BLESSED ASSURANCE comes from a hymn. “This entire show came to me in a dream. I find it intriguing to create a physical space from a mindset and an openness that I feel so connected to as a driving force. I’m happy to explore the act of making as its very own reward. Its very own promise and certainty.” Please join us for the opening reception + performance on Friday Nov 15th, running 7–10pm PST. Featuring live music from Mid-Air and Ray Brady, with support from NTS DJs.

‘The Good, the Purple and the Weird’ currently on display at HVW8 Berlin. HVW8 Gallery Berlin is pleased to present The Good, the Purple and the Weird, a group exhibition exploring care, spirituality and experimentation in contemporary creation. The show finds connections between ideas in paint, drawings and ceramics, bringing together recent works by seven artists from Berlin and Brussels: Sascha Brylla, Paul Ferens, Maxime Fragnon, Annabell Häfner, Viktoria Maliar, Jacopo Pagin and François Patoue. Embracing their diverse aesthetics and methods of production, the exhibition reveals small truths about common references for describing memories, atmospheres and intimacies. #SaschaBrylla #PaulFerens #MaximeFragnon #AnnabellHäfner #ViktoriaMaliar #JacopoPagin #FrançoisPatoue (at HVW8 Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3GIjaGl1yV/?igshid=gwmss7y6octv
