- WeeklyDose June 26 2020Another week and another Weekly Dose. Rob outs his cowboy hat back on and Chris works that creaky chair of his . . . . .This week on the Dose. . . .Rob and Chris chat about Russian photographers Olympus camera and Apple new CPU's.► LINKSVictor and Sergey Kochetovhttps://tinyurl.com/y97suu9fValeria Cherchi attempts to decode the complex structure of kidnapping in Sardiniahttps://tinyurl.com/ycpm3zuzOlympus agrees to sell imaging business by the end of the yearhttps://tinyurl.com/ycf2bb85Apple Reveals Plans to Ditch Intel and Use Its Own CPUs Starting this Yearhttps://tinyurl.com/yd69kxtjSergey Chilikov RIPhttps://tinyurl.com/yc8m3xorBelow is a complete statement from his publisherSergey Chilikov, 1953-2020Last weekend we received a message we knew would come but nevertheless hoped not to. Our one of a kind photographer Sergey Chilikov died of cancer. We are mourning an artist who was totally unique in the world, being a man equal to the work he made: great, strange, funny, annoying. All of it and all of it all the same time. So Sergey had a lot of friends and admirers, but he also had enemies. Or better, he created them. People who just could not handle him anymore, often after having played a certainly for him very important role in his professional or personal life. So tragic is another word which comes to mind while thinking back of him.Fortunately we, as his publisher and one of his – strangely enough – few galleries, never had any problem with him. Our relationship was of course also quite remote; him living in Yoshkar-Ola (about 750 km. east of Moscow) and we in Amsterdam (about 3,200 km. west from Yoshkar-Ola). Sergey came to Amsterdam in 2011 to work with us and our designer Victor Levie on his book, which we in the end simply called 'Selected Works, 1978-', and which was published in the same year in close cooperation with three colleagues and friends: Larisa Grinberg (Grinberg Gallery), Vladimir Dudchenko and Russian co-publisher Leonid Gusev. (Not to forget the extremely important mentors and friends for all of us being involved in Russian photography: Евгений Березнер, Irina Tchmyreva and Natalia Tarasova.)The first thing Sergey demanded stepping out of the car when we arrived at Victor’s studio was:“Maarten, get flat down on the floor!”“Maria Louise, lift up your dress on the right side!”“Victor, stand still, bend to the left and also downwards!”And this not in English but in Russian, being the only language he knew. But he also made it clear with sign language, so we knew what to do and we immediately did what he demanded. Because that is what people did when he asked them to. And that is what makes his work so superb and unique, for he never made more than one image of anything he wanted to photograph; it was either good or not. Bad luck if it was the latter but normally it was very very good! And it still is.Sergey left us to take his time off in between the virgins, or wherever else he might be happy. But fortunately, so incredibly fortunately his work, his absolutely exquisit work, will be always with us. No matter what.Thank you very much for that, dear Sergey. Rest in peace, enjoy it!Maarten SchiltJune 2020►LET'S CONNECTFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/belfastphoto...Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/belfast_pho...Chris' Websitehttp://www.christopherbarrphotography...Rob's Websitehttps://durstonphoto.com30 min
