@calmatic is presenting this installation tonight at 7 - 10pm as part of ‘Brave New Views’ exhibition. Calmatic, Steven Traylor Surveillance 1, 2018 Google Street View, Music Video Additional contributions by Vince Staples, Ryan Marie-Helfant and Electric Theatre Los Angeles filmmaker Calmatic and artist Steven Traylor’s video and art installation highlights their direction of the highly conceptual music video for “FUN!” by Long Beach rapper Vince Staples. Shot from the perspective of an interactive Google Maps session, Calmatic says the video represents the way a lot of mainstream hip hop fans have protected access to Black lives and are able to fetishize the culture without having to truly experience it. The installation also juxtaposes the means and methods of consuming music, media and technology. #calmatic #steventraylor #vincestaples #bravenewviews #hvw8gallery #nts (at HVW8 Art + Design Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HCtOhhYPU/?igshid=voj177h3c11n

Charlie Ahearn Doin’ Time In Times Square, 1991 39 minutes Also featured tonight at ‘Brave New Views’ is Charlie Ahearn’s Doin’ Time In Times Square, a home movie capturing the old capital of sleaze in all its pathetic glory. During the production of his movie Wild Style in 1980, Ahearn moved with his wife Jane Dickson to a corner loft with views of Eighth Ave and 43rd St.  Awakened nightly by howling from the street he was ready with his video camera to shoot the chaos outside. Home movies of his son Joe’s birthday parties and the arrival of daughter Eve are mixed in with New Year’s eve mob scenes marking the passage of time until the building was demolished to make way for the new Disney-fied Times Square Opens 7pm! #charlieahearn @twincharlie #bravenewviews #hvw8gallery #nts @adidasoriginals (at HVW8 Art + Design Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0G_xZMhL1X/?igshid=18pjfiwbh3f4b
