Walter Pieringer

disasters need not apply, 2011

Website:
www.WalterPieringer.com
www.bmxisrad.com

Bio:

Walter pieringer is a photographer based in Austin, TX and is available for travel worldwide. He has completed commercial and editorial assignments on six continents and in more than two dozen countries across the globe. His slightly unhealthy fascination with the desert and unending quest for bizarre situations and strange humans keep him on the road and off the map for a good chunk of his life.
Walter has a film degree from USC, but these days he enjoys creating still images more.
He is both a perfectionist and a workaholic, a combination that continuously proves to be both a blessing and a curse. Fortunately he absolutely loves what he does, and no one seems to be complaining.
Aside from photography, Walter creates video projects, writes, and is a bona fide computer nerd. He also takes excellent care of his cat.

Bio:
Juergen Teller (b. 1964, Erlangen, Germany) studied at the Bayerische Staatslehranstalt fur Photographie in Munich, Germany before moving to London in 1986. His work in influential international publications such as W Magazine, I-D and Purple nurtured his own photographic sensibility, which is marked by his refusal to separate the commercial fashion pictures and his most autobiographical un-commissioned work. Juergen Teller has been working with Marc Jacobs on his advertising campaigns for the past 11 years, the work has been collated into Marc Jacobs Advertising 1998 – 2009 published by Steidl. Teller has also had long collaborations with other designers and fashion houses over the years including Helmut Lang, Yves Saint Laurent and Vivienne Westwood.

Teller has exhibited at The Photographers Gallery, London (1998); the Kunsthalle Wein (2004); The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2004); the Fondation Cartier Pour l’art Contemporain, Paris (2007); the Tate Modern, London (2008); and at Le Consortium, Dijon (2010). In 2003 Teller was awarded the Citibank Prize and in 2007 represented Ukraine as one of five artists in the 52nd Venice Biennale.

Juergen’s most recent exhibitions include the Calves and Thighs at Alcala 31, Madrid (2010) and What is Schon?/What is Beautiful at Hygiene Museum, Dresden, Germany (2010). Upcoming exhibitions include Man with Banana at Dallas Contemporary, curated by Peter Doroshenko and Touch Me at Daelim Contemporary Art Museum, Seoul, Korea. Juergen Teller lives and works in London, England.
