Portrait by Nikita Teryoshin
One artist.
Many worlds.
I’m Manuel Osterholt. You can call me SuperBlast. For over 35 years I’ve been a mover between the worlds — from Berlin’s graffiti walls and skate parks to global campaigns, galleries, and books.
As an artist, creator and cultural manager, I speak the language of both sides: the street and the boardroom. I know what a campaign needs to hit its deadline and its mark — and what a collection, a gallery or a museum needs to hold its value.
That’s why adidas, Red Bull, Jägermeister, and Porsche come to me. And why seven years of directing and curating HVW8 Gallery Berlin taught me the other side of the table: what collectors and institutions are really looking for.
