Berlin Photographer and Subculture Icon Returns
Remember when Berlin’s famous photographer and Berghain bouncer Sven Marquardt was at Sydney's Ambush Gallery for Head On Festival 2016? Well, he enjoyed his stay so much that he wanted to come back and create a special project in Sydney. We heard his calls and two years later, we invited him again, this time to develop new work instead of showing an existing exhibition: Sven Marquardt will reside at the Goethe-Institut in Sydney to develop new work in September and October 2018.
ARTIST TALK:
While Sven Marquardt is here, we will present one artist talk in which he will tell us about his past, current and future photography projects. He will also chat about his life as an artist who is as closely connected to Berlin’s gritty techno scene as he is to fashion designers such as Hugo Boss. Capacity is limited – we recommend you register early for this rare chance to meet the renowned artist and media personality.
Date: Monday 22 October 2018
Time: 6.00pm for 6.30pm
Address: Goethe-Institut, 90 Ocean Street, Woollahra NSW 2025
Entry: Free with registration via
Eventbrite (two seats per person max)
OPEN CALL:
Would you fancy being portrayed by one of Berlin’s most sought-after photographers? Sven Marquardt is fascinated by Australia’s unique surf culture and is now looking for interesting characters and unusual surf spots in or near Sydney as subjects for a new photography series.
