In death, everyone is equal, and yet every death is individual. “Individual Equality” was the title Dleks (Alex Hasert) had planned for his exhibition before he met death on October 11, 2024. Artist, poet, skateboarder, friend, lover. Struggling with the world and full of love for his loved ones. Laughing into the abyss. These words can also be used to describe his works, often gloomy at first glance, but usually conceal another hidden side.
“MOSTY!” (meaning “Bridges” in Czech) is the new video of the crew around Prague’s skateshop called Darkslide.cz.

“My sexual desire for walls (A continuous vertical brick or stone structure that encloses or divides an area of land. A side of a building or room, typically forming part of the building’s structure. Any high vertical surface or facade, especially one that is imposing in scale).”
“We have a DIY project in Getxo we have been trying to set up with the city for already three years now. The city council finally gave us three hours a week in a community sports center, typical for Basque Country. We are a club – Getxo Skate Kluba. Some people of La Kantera decided to build some wood ramps and we will more ramps. On the outside we have brick transitions to skate. We have a dream – a public Skatepark in Getxo – we are fishing for that!” – Borja Casas
Every year, the Projet45 guys try to find fun ideas to raise money for their DIY project and it’s not really easy to keep people interested. Most of the skateboarders out there are often multi-talented; when they are not on wheels, they are playing music, drawing, painting etc. Then came the idea to use the talent of our great concrete soldiers’ by doing an Art Show in Montreal, which could be an excuse to raise money, and have fun with the bros in the meantime.
After finishing THE BEAST this fall, for all of us it was as clear as a backside air that we needed a winter residence to pass this cold, ugly swiss winter. So please say hello to THE BEAUTY!
As we had finished the first building step, THE BEAUTY was ready for her first action filled night. A “MOTÖRHEAD ONLY” playlist, a bucket full of cheap, heated red wine and a good crew of friends was all we needed for an epic session.
Sergej Vutuc, the photographer behind the book, “Something in Between” is putting up work in an empty space and doing abstract drawings out of skateboarding. If you live in Germany, check it out this Sunday, the 4th. If not, we’ll update this space after the show so you can see what went down.
