If you are in Berlin for the World Cup excitement and have some downtime between matches (or if you just want to flee the excitement), you should check out New York-based photographer Gerhard Stochl's show at CircleCulture Gallery that opens this Thursday, 29 June 2006 and runs through 31 July 2006. For the last 10 years Stochl has been photographing professional as well as casual skaters for himself and for major skateboarding magazines. He has circumnavigated the globe–Vienna, Miami, Sao Paulo, NYC, etc.—to document the best skaters. For "Skateboarders 1996-2006" he focuses on the interplay between street skaters and their urban environments—whether they be public art, monuments, architecture, or homegrown half-pipes in industrial ruins. The results are stunning for fans of rad stunts as well as those who just love a pretty photo.

by Anna Carnick Inspired by his friend James Dean, Dennis Hopper explains his new monograph this way, “I was doing something that I thought could have some impact someday. In many ways, it’s really these photographs that kept me going creatively." In 1955, an 18-year-old Hopper met 24-year-old Dean on the set of Rebel Without a Cause and the two became immediately inseparable. Prior...
Panos Tsagaris uses the projection of light and geometric angles to create mystical images and photographs. Hailing from Athens, Greece but working and residing New York, Tsagaris recently collaborated with Kimberley Norcott, creating works that play with the ideas of emerging light, the human perception of eternity and the symbolism of the sun. While the images speak to a sense of time and inspiration,...
