Untitled. How I Met My First Pixel I remember that cold day in spring, back in 1991, when I visited a photography fair in the Javits Center in Manhattan.
At that time, I worked for Neil Molinaro as a first assistant in Clark, New Jersey. Neil is an unbelievebly creative advertising photographer and an blooming nice guy. Not only has he created his own lighting system, he also managed to bring scenes on film that were almost impossible to even think! And because that’s not enough, he hired a German guy named Uli Staiger as his assistant. Slowly, stop. Back in Germany, I started my own business. Photoshop was the missing link I needed for my work without even knowing I missed it! Slowly, a new kind of creativity grew in Germany and the rest of the world, and I was a part of it!
One of the limits I realized after a few years was the fact that my ideas grew faster then my skills.

Traditionally, Texas has had a rich artistic history thanks in part to the city of Austin and perhaps most famously to Donald Judd and his development of a minimalistic Marfa utopia. The city in the high desert of West Texas became the artistic center of Texas during the mid to late 1970s following a collaboration between Judd and the Dia Foundation that saw the decommissioned Fort DA Russell transformed into art spaces designed to present individual artist’s collections permanently. Judd had become disillusioned by the short duration of museum exhibitions, seeing these restrictions as a major stumbling block to fully understanding the work of the artist on view.

Che Kothari As long as hip-hop culture has existed, photographers have documented it.
An exhibition presented by Che Kothari and Toronto’s Gladstone Hotel, “40 Years of Hip Hop Photography,” celebrates the artists who have shaped the music since its birth in 1974 as well as the pioneering photographers who helped introduce those artists to the world. “Part of the reason we did the show was to show appreciation not only for hip-hop and the impact it has in our lives and the community around us, but to give props to those who document it, those who are behind the lens but whose work is so important,” said Ryan Paterson, who co-curated the exhibit.

So how do you get there from here? Is promoting to galleries different than to commercial clients? Every significant art movement has had its fair share of naysayers but the severest opponents of contemporary postmodernist art come not from outside the art world but from its very heart.
It’s not individual artists or works insiders are objecting to — art itself, they believe, has taken a wrong turn, gone off the rails. Dave Hickey is the latest adversary on the list featuring prominent critics like David Kuspit, Michael Fried, Harold Rosenberg and Hilton Kramer who have seriously questioned the “anything goes” nature of contemporary art. Writing for The Observer, Edward Helmore and Paul Gallagher report that doyen of American critics Dave Hickey has walked away from the ‘nasty, stupid’ world of modern art saying that anyone who has “read a Batman comic” would qualify for a career in the industry.
At 71, Hickey has long been regarded as the enfant terrible of art criticism, respected for his intellectual range as well as his lucidity and style. I’m just not interested in him.”
