BOARDSTARS
A showcase for the photography of Arne Gutmann

Author Archives: Arne Gutmann

I come from a background in photography and the art's. I have done voice-over work, movie part's and even filmed a few movies. Also a tv host, on air host, stunt extra.

The photography I do and have produced is quite varied from applique to sublimation to platinum and many other forms. I have made cameras for shows. I have also participated in almost 50 group shows and self produced 4 solo shows. I produced and curated 6 group shows. I also worked and studied with some masters in an assistant capacity as well as working with other renowned professionals in the field.

Snowboarder:
I am a CASI Level II certified Snowboard Instructor who has been living and working in Whistler for 25 years. I was the instructor of the year for the 01/02 season!

HA, the New Year and I made it!

                                                   ipom22.jpg                                      Alrighty, the new year and time for some new fun!  Polaroids! Yup there still around!  Check out www.theimpossibleproject.com thats what has happened to polaroid.  Awesome.  It made me think that it was time for me to bring out some oldies and some recent shots.  You will have to guess which is old or new, dont foget about something called old film stock, or in this case, old polaroid stock.  Cheers mates and all the best! May we have a safe ride in 2011!  enjoi!

Back to work and some play.

mal1111.jpgAgain the changing of the seasons has brought me to the point of wishing everyone well again in the upcoming season, snow season that is.  It is a La Nina/El Nino winter, I forget, but, it is supposed to bring us snow!  Thats all that matters and that once again everyone is safe.   Other stuff, still got my show on in the hostel, it runs till the end of Dec, at the new Hostel in Cheakamus Crossing.  Its free. Got some other things planned, maybe another solo show? group shows abound! Stay tuned….This is a shot I did for the B-Grade Horrorfest, it is Mal, thank you Mal.

Another solo show for Arne!

borgward1.jpgSo, winter is slowly making its way to our crazy mountain town and I am having another solo show!  This will be the longest showing as it will be up until Jan 1.  It is at the new Hostel in Cheakamus Crossing.  The show is on the second floor and is always free to take a look.  Besides that, Chilli will be having a show titled 18 and over some time soon.  That should be fun as long as he dosnt shut it down early again, ps Chilli, I totally understand.  There will be a 3rd part to the Skulls show at Millinnium  Place in October, I think.  We (all the crazies) will present some kooky art during the B-Grade Horror Fest at the end of October.  I will also try to produce my first pair of Shitstixs by Christs-mas.  Wish me luck in that.  Besides that, just the usual level of debuchary and creativity.  pss if anyone wants to model for me just let me know.  cheers and keep on keepin on!!!  ohhh, and these cars were spotted one morning on the way to work, they are called Borgwards or something like that.  Havnt done any research but they are pretty cool visually, no?

wow, I love Japan! even though it is a little busy!

                                 jp1.jpg                   Well another trip around the globe has ended with me now sitting in front of the computer doing countless hours of photo editing.  Just so everyone can see some of the sights that Japan has to offer.  What a visually stunning place for a photographer.  I am so lucky to have relatives that are willing to really show me the sites.  It makes a difference if you have someone helping you out,  even when you are used to the culture and now your way around.  I will be uploading many more in the weeks to come.  enjoy

The day before the circus comes to town!

  Hi..  as everyone knows it is the day before the games begin in Whistler!  Yup!  I have taken a photo from the exact spot for over a year and a half, well, no more.  The location is at the bottom of the Dave Murray Downhill and now I cant get access to it because of lock down.  So here is the last photo from this location, until I compile all the others and publish them later.  Cheers and wish us well during the games, may they begin.  Good luck athletes!!  Goo  Canadaaaaaa!!!lsd1.jpg

Heads up!

Just wanted to let everyone know that I got selected for The Whistler Art Walk during the Olympics.  I will be displaying at the Fitsimmons Pub during the games.    It will be up during that time, though it would be nice to see some of you at the opening.  Its a bunch of new stuff in a new style.  Cool.  Pepe will also be showing with us and we all love his work.  Should be a fun opening and I hope you can make it.  Cheers.

Wow, another decade gone bye.

thenew11.jpgWell, I wont say with much sadness that I will miss 09.  It was a hard year hear for most of us in Whistler.  Some more than others.  I wish everyone well in the new year and that it will be better than 09.

The snow boss, it’s the snow!

                                                  ac81.jpgHi ya’ll.  Well if you didnt know, Whistler is opening on Saturday the 14th of November!  Yippee!  Now, I hope everyone plays safe and has a great year cuz it will be a big year for us in our little/big tiny town.  What with the world coming to play in our sandbox!  Please keep it clean! Thanks, ohh, and please pack out what you brought in, especially you military folk, cheers.  Now lets have some good clean winter fun!

My recent absence, somewhat far away, Maui.

Well, they said it is a great place and I didnt know before know, but Maui is great.  This is Aki’s first step on to a black sand beach just outside of the town, Hana.  Craziest darn road in N. America, yup!  Awesome.  There will be many more soon, unfortunately we are still here sooooo,  I gots to back to the beach and will upload more later, Mahalo ya-ll.  Ch                            eers.ak71.jpg

New shoes!

shoe2.jpgshoe1.jpg  Well some of you know that I do more artistic things besides photos, not many others know.  Heres a pair of shoes I did for one of the Blind Mute shows a couple of months ago that I thought would look good on the site.  This was a german collage consisting of material that I picked up there.   It is a variation of some shoes I did a year ago that were an applique of pure hemp sublimated to the shoe.  Very Awesome!  Will have pics of that soon as those shoes turned out fantastic!  Check out the Blind Mute page  for previous shows at www.blindmuteproductions.com .  Don’t forget, art can be worn and should be!
