My friend Kurt Lane interviewed me for The Weekly Check-In at Rubin Recommends.
“I met Nick Helderman my first week in New York when he was in town shooting Dutch bands during CMJ in 2008. Since then I’ve had the good fortune of visiting him in Amsterdam and seeing his joint exhibition with Shawn Brackbill as part of Le Guess Who? in Utrecht…” Read the full article HERE.
December has been great. The Le Guess Who? Festival in Utrecht was a huge succes with great music and friendly people. After Le Guess Who I did a solo show at the Delicatessen Gallery in Amsterdam featuring photos of my favourite musicians that I met and worked with over the last 2 years (The Ex, Health, Women, Sleepy Sun, Lucky Fonz III and others). Another exhibition just opened in the streets of Groningen called Popview Outdoor. Together with photographers Titia Hahne, Dennis Duijnhouwer, Annie Hoogendoorn a.o. I’m showing huge prints throughout the city centre. NOS Headlines made a small video about this exhibit.
Dutch newspaper Het Parool launched a photo blog for me and Annie on their website where each of us will be showing a new photo every other week. They also did a really great interview with us and photographer Shawn Brackill about the exhibit at Le Guess Who?
Last week I took pictures at the singer/songwriter finales of De Grote Prijs Van Nederland and spend 3 days with Sleepy Sun while they were in The Netherlands. Check out a few photos here. More Grote Prijs photos will appear on their website in the next few weeks and in a special GUP publication about the award.
