MTV

The art­work “MTV” fea­tures the leg­endary music channel’s iconic logo, styl­ized in blue and gray. Min­i­mal yet force­ful, it nods to the rebel­lious pop cul­ture of the 1980s and ’90s, when “MTV” reshaped the music land­scape. The piece recalls a time when music videos became an art form and a new atti­tude to life. “MTV” stands as a visual mon­u­ment to youth cul­ture, rebel­lion, and the power of music as an iden­ti­ty-shap­ing medium. “MTV” is part of the art series “Blue in a Square”, which includes 300+ artworks.

An entire rebel­lion goes on air.

When MTV went on air, our gen­er­a­tion final­ly had its own chan­nel. It was like a rebel­lion that had final­ly been given its own stage. From then on, MTV ran all day long, if you had your own TV set. It was the expres­sion of my gen­er­a­tion. With MTV, we had a sense of status. A new self-con­fi­dence. Our own form of expres­sion. Until then, there had only been the rock nights. Those remained impor­tant. But with MTV we felt glob­al­ly con­nect­ed. What Wood­stock was for the gen­er­a­tion before us, MTV was for us. New videos were cel­e­brat­ed. New bands dis­cov­ered. MTV defined the zeit­geist – from fash­ion all the way to the dance moves. MTV was just for us, because our par­ents’ gen­er­a­tion didn’t even really take notice of it. We final­ly had our thing. And it felt good to be part of this rebel­lion, this movement.

The art­work “MTV” is part of the pos­i­tive memory cul­ture series, which com­pris­es over 300 works. It can, of course, be pur­chased as a single art­work or as part of a series, togeth­er with other pos­i­tive mem­o­ries from the time of my gen­er­a­tion – the time around the 80s, the Boomer era. It is a joy to be remind­ed again and again of the won­der­ful things from this epoch.
