BERLIN PUBLISHING WEEKEND #01

This weekend will see a flurry of events around self-published books and magazines – rumour has it that all events combined will present more publishers than the legendary New York Art Book Fair. We’ll keep you updated on a daily basis from now on, starting with a launch hosted by our friends’ excellent magazine store [...]

HEAVY THINGS & LIGHT QUESTIONS

As you might have noticed, we’re pretty infatuated with artist, filmmaker and author Miranda July.

TWO WEEKS WITH VICTORIA LEGRAND

This year’s Green Man Festival in Wales certainly summoned up many unexpected highlights. One of them was Grizzly Bear’s Ed Droste calling Victoria Legrand of Beach House to come on stage. Together they performed Two Weeks from Grizzly Bear’s recent album Veckatimest. We also liked Wooden Shjips, The Phantom Band, Andrew Bird – and that [...]
