Andrea Offermann for creative face Magazine
On the occasion of ILLUSTRATIVE 09 in Berlin the artist, designer and publicist Andrea Offermann interviewed Erik Mark Sandberg for creative face Magazine:
creative face: You grew up in Minnesota then moved to California and in your recent show at Johanssen Gallery in Berlin you are challenging the narrow window of accepted beauty standards in society. How did living so close to the Hollywood dream factory shape you and your understanding of culture?
Erik Mark Sandberg: I spent most of my early years growing up in a conservative mid western suburb, where it was flannel shirts and traditional values. It was later in my life that I moved to Los Angeles - the land of everything else.

JITTER - MAGAZIN FÜR BILDGESTALTUNG
VANESSA KARRÉ - Please pay the Ferryman
Friedrich Weltzien für JITTER
So hat es schon Friedrich Schiller gesehen: in der echten Kunst müsse die Musik gestalt werden und das Bild zur Musik. Zumindest in ihrer Wirkung aufs Gemüt, so schrieb er 1795 über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen, sollen sich die Künste ähneln. Dieser Anspruch hat in den letzten 200 Jahren nichts verloren - jedenfalls soweit es die Gestaltung von Plattencover betrifft.
Vanessa Karré hätte das als Motto dienen können, als sie 2005 für die Band Wir sind Helden das Artwork rund um das Album »Von hier an blind« erstellte. „Es ging mir nicht nur darum, die Stimmung der Musik, sondern auch den Charakter der Musiker zu zeigen", sagt sie über ihre Arbeit. Die Band bezeichnet sich selbst ironisch als Helden. Sicher, der Name verdankt sich David Bowies krassen Zeiten in Berlin, aber trotzdem verkörpert die Band eine Sorte Helden, die eher nette Leute sind als working class heroes, eher schlau als brutal, eher lustig als verbissen. Was also läge näher, als sie in Comic-Helden zu verwandeln?
