Celebrating the artistry and diversity of contemporary photography,"WALK THE NIGHT - NIGHTLIFE AND CLUB CULTURE 1977' - 1990’" is set to captivate audiences with a two-day immersive experience on Friday, December 8th and Saturday, December 9th of Miami Art Week, at Arlo Hotel Higher Ground. This thoughtfully curated exhibit, co-curated by Ron Trent, Adrian Loving and HVW8 Gallery, promises to showcase the powerful narratives captured in iconic nightlife venues: Paradise Garage, The Warehouse, Studio 54, and The Music Box through the lens of three exceptional image makers. Historical photographs take the viewer into the entrancing realm of Chicago's groundbreaking club spaces, The Warehouse and Music Box captured by Mr. Robert Williams. Feel the energy and history of Paradise Garage as Tina Paul's photos transport you to the heart of the legendary nightclub. Delve further into the golden era of nightlife with Bill Bernstein's striking images of Studio 54 and Paradise Garage where they provide a glimpse into the extravagant and hedonistic nights that defined an era. Daily programming from parties to panels will be held, including an Artist Talk, which will facilitate a discussion on the careers and inspirations of five influential nightlife creatives, including Robert Williams, Tina Paul, Bill Bernstein, Victor Rosado, Arthur Baker, and Louie Vega. Moderated by Ron Trent and curator Adrian Loving, the conversation offers a compact journey through the cultural history celebrating club culture beginning in 1977 through the present. In anticipation of the main exhibit, a series of lead-up events will be held including The Warehouse - Next Generation party on Wednesday, December 6th at Gramps featuring DJs Muscle Cars, Garret David, KC Wray, and, CTRLZORA.
