Keiichi Nitta – “I Think Japanese People Should Be More Open” Products | Hypebeast

don’t know about anybody else, but I actually went to the exhibit and I wasn’t alone in thinking that it was FINALLY an exhibit in LA that didn’t totally bore everyone to death w/mediocre art. true this guy was richardson’s assistant–there’s nothing wrong w/that. if you know richardson’s work at all, keiichi’s work is certainly not “identical” unless you’re just another hater…and i wouldn’t trash on the ‘depraved consumerism’ aspect here unless nitta used corporate funding for his art, which he totally didn’t…no one is expected to buy anything of his…the point is to be exposed to his works….

vulgar?? only to amish yo–this is 2008, in LA

funny how some people are skeptical about this when there’s SO MuCH lame corporate art out there that doesn’t get slammed..now THAT is sad…

agree w/digital pirate: may be a little too highbrow, and beautiful photography

kudos to hypebeast for pushing the boundaries here, finally
(btw, use its not it’s)

peace

really? can anyone tell this emperor is naked? this dude was terry richardson’s assistant for at least the past 4 or 5 years, probably longer. What is it that might actually validate this work as noteworthy or photographically relevant? Stylistically he is identical to what made Richardson famous and I think the concept is an afterthought or the excuse for the vulgarity (which really isn’t as subversive as it once was, especially when propagated for it’s own sake) and in the end, as a viewer, all you are really asked to is buy his stuff instead of being challenged find new ways of perception. Depraved consumerism under the guise of conceptual culture…. at least that’s how I see it…( I welcome anyone to seriously challenge these viewpoints as the only way to further artistic progress or benefit from controversy is debate and discussion, not buying t-shirts)
