HowNosm’s ‘ACHTUNG!’ at Known Gallery

October 16th, 2011 Comments off

HowNosm have landed in LA again... and this time they have thrown down the gauntlet in a big way. 'ACHTUNG!' opened last night at Known Gallery in Los Angeles and if you missed it, well... I feel bad for you.

"For people who keep track of this, How and Nosm are the next big thing." - Carlo McCormick (curator and senior editor at Paper Magazine)

Check out a great feature on the twins in the new issue of Red Bull's free The Red Bulletin Magazine - also viewable online here: www.redbullusa.com/cs/Satellite/en_US/Article/Double-Vision-021243074508367

"Over the course of their recent murals, How & Nosm have woven together a loose yet consistent narrative world of sorts reflecting among other things the greed of man, the interplay between modern and traditional lifestyles, and an ecosystem under threat." - DailyDujour.com

Whatever you do, get yourself to the end of Traction Ave in downtown LA to witness their massive mural "Heartship" in person (pictured above). Produced in collaboration with the LA Freewalls Project, the mural is a thing of majestic beauty.

The Perre twins don't sleep and aim to do at least 200 murals every year the world over. The recent release of 'How & Nosm: The Brazil Diaries' from On The Run is a stunning documentation of their unyielding work ethic and their dominance on the streets of Brazil (a country the duo visit regularly only a few times each year, but still find themselves up on the streets more than the majority of the local artists that live there). Be sure to pick up a copy when you visit Known Gallery to check out 'ACHTUNG!' in person - the only way to really dig in and view their works.

[caption id="attachment_7153" align="aligncenter" width="585" caption="The work of Stephanie Ann Buer which we'll be debuting in LA at BEYOND EDEN"][/caption]

BEYOND EDEN 2011 is quickly approaching - less than 3 weeks to go now. We've more advertising and marketing in place than ever before, so we're really looking forward to one hell of a show. Not to mention all the folks that will be in town for the big Pacific Standard Time event and the numerous new fairs invading LA this Sept/Oct.

Currently getting our artists geared up for the show and the new works coming in so far are just magical. I know all the other galleries are putting together some awesome exhibits as well and will do me proud. It's an honor to put this event together for the people of LA and to also help bring attention to the amazing grounds of the Barnsdall Art Park and the LA Municipal Art Gallery where the event is held.

Showing with Thinkspace this year at Beyond Eden: Anthony Clarkson Brett Amory Brian M. Viveros Craig "Skibs" Barker David Cooley David MacDowell Jacub Gagnon Jason Thielke Jeremy Hush Kelly Allen Kelly Vivanco Rod Luff Sarah Joncas Scott Radke Seth Armstrong Stephanie Ann Buer Tran Nguyen Yosuke Ueno

Euth on the streets of Los Angeles

If that wasn't enough we've also teamed up with local artist Euth to shine a light on some of the most intriguing artists currently gracing the streets of Los Angeles with their work.

“Creator / Spectator” Presented by Thinkspsace and curated by Euth

The artists chosen to participate in "Creator / Spectator" represent the outside circle of underground art in Los Angeles. These are individuals exploring concepts deeply rooted in their own personal history and that are not looking to follow in the footsteps of those who came before them. Each artist was selected because their work is not simply about a name and a product, but more so about who he or she is as a individual - this is not a group working towards a common title or theme like "street art" but instead a group of individuals who have found common ground in a medium that promotes the individuality of each component explored.

This exhibit looks to explore beyond the mentality that the medium is the message. This is about a path of life chosen by these artists that constitutes the very nature of who they are. Each artist involved in this show offers something unique to the city of Los Angeles, a personal message to which they are both creator and spectator.
