2002

Marcopoulos has been a featured artist in the 2002 and 2010 Whitney Biennial.

1995

In 1995, Marcopoulos was contacted by Burton Snowboards to shoot their new snowboarding catalogue. Despite not knowing how to ski or snowboard, the photographer agreed to the project and taught himself how to snowboard. The artist stated his experience, “I didn’t approach [snowboarding] as a sport, I approached it as a lifestyle,” he says. “That’s what I liked about snowboarding – a bunch of kids travelling around the world in their own community. They were just living their own life without their parents around – a community of people living and working together and seeing each other in different places.”

1991

His photo documentation of the Beastie Boys touring and recording between their albums, Check Your Head and III Communication can be found in his book, Pass The Mic: Beastie Boys 1991-1996.

1990

In the early 1990s, Marcopulos met and befriended skaters cycling at the legendary local spot dubbed “The Banks” found underneath the Brooklyn Bridge. He shot portraits of New York skate icons Harold Hunter and Justin Pierce, both featured in Larry Clark’s 1995 coming-of-age film Kids.

1980

Marcopoulos moved to New York City in 1980 when he was 23 years old. There, he was first exposed to the burgeoning hip-hop and downtown art scenes of 1980s New York. His reasoning behind the move was due to cultural frustrations in his home country of Holland, Marcopoulos recalls, "...in Holland, things were pretty stale for me. Even though there were a lot of good influences and a certain openness to music and art and literature, I just wanted to go somewhere less familiar–somewhere bigger. Holland is a fairly small country, and in a weird way, somewhat conservative...There isn't much flexibility in changing people's perspectives."[1]

Once Marcopoulos moved to New York City, he began to photograph the locals he encountered in the street, which exposed him to the up-and-coming downtown artist and hip-hop scenes of the 1980s. There he met and photographed portraits of pioneering rap icons including The Fat Boys, the Beastie Boys, Rakim, Public Enemy, Ratking and LL Cool J.

1957

In The Netherlands, he met a young Dutch model, Marcopoulos's mother. His parents had three sons, including Ari, and one daughter.
