Lecture

Nick Pedersen is a famous digital artist and photographer in the contemporary art world in the United States. His works recognized by galleries and institutions around the world, such as Paradigm Gallery, Arch Enemy Arts, Vogue, and Create Magazine.

As a student majoring in digital imaging major, I had a deeper understanding of my major after listening to Nick Pedersen's lecture. In the beginning, I did not understand the definition of digital image and its development scope because the definition of digital imaging is too broad. He used the relatively simply technique of photography and post-production computer photoshop to create excellent works, which was a great inspiration to me.

The themes of Nick Pedersen's works are all around environmental protection and the direction of man and nature. Choosing an excellent topic for creation also has a strong influence on the works themselves. Because of the theme, most of his pictures are about the natural environment, animals and decaying cities. To maintain the originality and uniqueness of his works, he needed to climb mountains, go to the natures and travels to take pictures as resources and create his works. The spirit of striving for creation deserves people's respect.

The inspiration and ideas of the work are not easily represented in the form of a collage. I have tried to do this before, but it is hard for me to combine my thinking and my resources, which needs a stable composition. Because of Nick Pedersen's background as a photographer, all of his creative materials are from photographs. During this time, Nick Pedersen also produced a large number of excellent rare photographic works. His pictures of landscapes and animals also come from the demands of his compositions and his own designs. His background as a photographer led to the perfect combination of steps in his work. It allows him to create more freely through the expression of digital art.

My favourite series of his work is Floating World. This series reminds me of Josh Klline's work displayed in Whiteney museum. Their themes revolve around the underwater decay of cities after natural disasters. But Nick Pedersen’s performance was more optimistic.

does contemporary art need to be transgressive? (#3)

1. The Sacklers were originally 3 siblings who were born in New York and worked as physicians, they contributed great monetary significance to the arts. After their deaths their children continued being involved in the arts both in leadership, organization, and funding. Purdue Pharma is the actual source of income for the Sacklers, which created one of the most addictive prescription drugs on the market that often leads to heroin addictions.

2. Mortimer Sackler got his start in advertising and marketing as a high schooler, which carried on in the way Oxycotin was marketed for Purdue Pharma. The ads were mostly placed in medical magazines, creating the idea that physicians use and trust this medicine, which gained people’s trust. Arthur Sackler was later given an award in medical advertising, and most advertising campaigns for prescriptions are based after his practices.

3. This is relevant in the recent uprising at the Whiteney--one of the big financial supporters was found to also be donating a large sum to the production of the tear gas used at the border, and supporting ICE. The Whitney is a monolith in terms of art institutions, so most people argued that you can’t tear down such a museum with that level of reverence. On the flip side, the Whitney is a well known and respected institution, and I can confidently say that if they declined the funding of someone who supports ICE, it’s little skin off their back. Understanding where money comes from is important, because if it is for your profit, you have to understand that if dirty money is funding your projects, you directly contribute to the exploitation utilized to get that money. (@decolonizethisplace is the Instagram leading the Whiteney conversation if you haven’t been made aware of it Margaret I think you’d really enjoy their profile and the information they work to make public)

4. In some cases, you just need money. I definitely understand the cons of my opinion. For example, if someone comes up to me and offers me an incredible sum to start a gallery / business, I may not question it, and it can be hard to turn down money even if it’s dirty. However, the Whitney and the MMA is doing fine and will continue to be fine considering their history. If I saw the MMA / any major art institution reject money from distasteful funders, it would only raise my support. We’re living in the age of the Internet and accessibility, so dirt rises to the surface. And with that we as a community need to address and grow beyond the support of people like the Sacklers.
