Exhibition - James Goldstein, Acne Store's IlCaffé LA
James Goldstein has surrounded himself with culture and design. Though nothing has ever been confirmed, Goldstein is rumored to have made his fortune in real estate, which goes hand in hand with his love for architecture. Goldstein lives in his home in Beverly Hills named The Sheats Goldstein Residence. The title was given after the only other owners, Helen and Paul Sheats. The house is designed by John Lautner and is one of the best-known examples of Lautner’s work, as he designed not only the house, but the interiors, windows, lighting, rugs, furniture, and operable features. Along with his main residence, Goldstein has an installation created below the house by light artist James Turrell called “Skyspace”. Goldstein announced in 2016 that he has donated his home to LACMA.
This show also included a short film that gives a quick glimpse into Jim's world.
Special Projects - USA 2015 - 2022
Special Projects is a collection of individual or series of photos, which have not yet been published or showcased in any prior exhibitions.
These photos are primarily captured within the U.S. and are often inspired by timeless classic American aesthetics. They are not only capturing people, places, and nature, but occasionally, objectively, portraying society today.
Surfers - Surfrider Beach, CA
Daniel Sahlberg started to portray surfers based on the same idea as some of his previous projects. Capturing people from different backrounds, all with the same affinity,
this time, surfing. Focusing mainly on the people - not in surfing as a sport. This was of course a great opportunity to hang out on the beach,
one of Daniel’s favorite settings in California. He started visiting beaches in Malibu, then traveled south to Orange County, San Diego, and other beautiful beaches to find surfers.
This is a on going project as of today.
Exhibition - Latimoz, Sturehof Obaren, Stockholm
You can live in Basel and go loco over Selina Gomez or Nagoya and think that Empire of the Sun is the best band in the world. So it's not only in Europe, you can find fans so dedicated, that they would take a bullet for former "The Smiths" singer, Morrissey. The Los Angeles loving Brit has had a broad Latino fan base for sometime now. With the album, "You are the Quarry" he celebrated this with a couple of songs. This has fascinated journalists and it's also the subject of William E Jones documentary, "Is It Really So Strange". Jones is mostly focusing on Morressey look-alikes in his film. But, there are also a somewhat tougher group of fans in LA. Daniel Sahlberg is a photographer that likes contrasts as much as a world that's getting smaller. One day in June, he took his camera and drove down to Venice Beach and found a group of guys from the 18-Street Gang "Barrio 18". After some small talk, he took their portraits and got them to tell what Morrissey lyrics they listen to before they go to sleep. This exhibition was published in a number of magazines in Sweden including Nöjesguiden.
Exhibition - Rockabilly Rebels, The House of Culture Stockholm Tres Hombres Art, Sweden / Bon Magazine
An Army officer, an Motorcycle artist of "Wall-of-Death", a lawyer, and a piercing designer. People coming together with the same affinity, the 50s.
Daniel Sahlberg started this project when he still was assisting other photographers in mid 2000s. From the beginning fascinated by 50s design, such as clothes, furniture, and cars, the project evolved into showing the Rockabilly culture of today.
He's been joining events in Scandinavia and England, everything from small country-side get togethers, to big international festivals. Thus Daniel Sahlberg is mainly portraying the strict orthodox in this subculture, his images also
shows people of a strong community, where Daniel Sahlberg always was on a "Turist Visa". Rockabilly's, Hot Rodder's, or Greaser's - things that stood for something back then has evolved into something else today, something new, often
regardless of boundaries or prejudices. Today, the scene is big and alive. People gather from all over the world, all with different backgrounds but with one thing in common, they love the 50s.
