Erik Kessels

Erik Kessels ranks among the most important creative professionals in Europe. He co-founded the international agency KesselsKramer in Amsterdam and is not only a advertisers, but also an artist, curator, publicist and a passionate collector of photographs.

The Erik Kessels & Friends exhibition is the first comprehensive presentation in Germany of this Dutch artist and advertiser who has a preference for the imperfect and the incomplete. The exhibit will showcase the most important works of the past 20 years. Aside from that, he has invited along five friends, the artists Paul Kooiker, Joan Fontcuberta, Peter Piller, Joachim Schmid and Ruth van Beek, who will be intervening in the survey exhibition with their own works.

We met the artist for an interview and talked about his attitude on contemparary photography. May thanks!
