Opening Saturday, June 18th, Hold Up Art present “Pressed” an exhibition exploring the world of silkscreen processed art. Though invented in 1907 and later made famous in the contemporary art world through Andy Warhol’s iconic reproductions, Silkscreen art has taken a firm grasp on our contemporary visual culture for its relatively cheap process yet ability to deliver bold, clean and consistent reproductions. Everyday the average person interacts with dozens of silkscreened images, from t-shirts, to stickers, to street signs. Though the process itself has changed very little over the past century, stylistic conventions pertaining to the medium of silkscreen as seen in contemporary art have come a long way.
In recent years the development of Print houses have become not only popular outlets for artists, but a helping hand to the Advertising and Poster industries. A prominent player in the So-Cal Screen printing scene is Something Ill Studios, run by Michael Ficek, Something Ill represents some of the most prolific Screen Printing artists today like David Flores and Arkiv. “Pressed” will highlight specific modes of style that have become popular since the era of Pop Art in the 60’s, stemming from various sources like Photography, Illustration, and Digital Media.
Contributing Artists: Michael Ficek , Arkiv , Lucky Bunny , Nick McPherson, Justin Atallian, Cyrcle, Tony Hong. For the money conscious art buyer, “Pressed” will offer limited edition mini print series for all contributing artists. There will also be live silkscreen printing during the opening of the event on tee’s and anything you want to bring in.

HIVE
VIOLENCE RECORDINGS, RAM, METALHEADZ -LA
Celebrated on both sides of the Atlantic, its in the unassuming personality of futurist B-boy Hive that drum and bass finds its mightiest bridge between the UK and the US. His tracks have become staples of virtually all of drum and bass legends, from Andy C to Goldie. Hives label Violence has registered sales comparable to Ram, Renegade Hardware, and Valve. He released a tremendous remix of Goldie and Rob Playford’s “The Shadow” for Moving Shadow. Metalheadz has invited him to record an e.p. for the label. Hes toured worldwide, completing a month of dates in New Zealand and Australia in the fall of 2002, preceded by a month in the UK and Europe, which included a guest appearance for the Valve Soundsystem. No American has gained such complete entree into the heart of drum and bass.
Tough, propulsive, forged out of both the traditional sampled aesthetic and leading sound designs of contemporary drum and bass, the sound of Hive today bears the imprint of an artist searching for new ways to reinterpret the music by his own lights. Neither a retrospective purist, nor a follower of fashion, Hives music, his DJing, and his label strike a steely, inspiring balance, hewing closely to a tight creative vision that has propelled him into the forefront of drum and bass wherever it thrives.
