MONO.CONTRIBUTORS #04: NODE BERLIN OSLO

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

Since they just launched their beautiful new website, what better moment to mention our friends at Node Berlin Oslo, the acclaimed design studio based in, erm, Berlin and Oslo. Talk about trans-European partnership here, but the climate remains the same: cold and grey. Node, in the meantime, are kind people, and they are one of [...]

CINEMASCAPES

Monday, November 28, 2011

Prejmer, Romania
We’ve discussed photographers and artists who use Google Street View before, but a novel project that pushes past those previous appropriations, Aaron Hobson’s cinemascapes is worth a look. Hobson isn’t interested in Street View’s potential for reaching documentary truthfulness, or in the bizarre compositions it captures, or in the visual texture of its pixelation; [...]

MAGCULTURE SHOP

Monday, November 28, 2011

A nice new idea from magCulture, who we like, as you might have noticed. They’ve just opened their new online store, which is actually more like a personal recommendation: A selection of 8 independent titles only, handpicked by founder Jeremy Leslie. The deal is that each title will be available in limited stock only and [...]

MONDAY MUSIC: I BREAK HORSES

Monday, November 28, 2011

I recently photographed the Swedish singer Marie Linden of I Break Horses – just released on Bella Union, the label by former Cocteau Twins founder Robin Guthrie, which seems like a suitable home for her dreamy pop project. I like photographing Swedish pop stars, they tend to be such lovely and humble people.

CHRISTMAS KINDNESS 01: TARYN SIMON

Saturday, November 26, 2011

We all know the feeling: You feel like the new year really just got started, summer as usual coming way too late before it’s already gone, and suddenly funny things like Lebkuchen or Spekulatius appear on the shelves in the supermarket, and you realize: Christmas is just around the corner. And before you know it [...]

AI WEIWEI ON AI WEIWEI

Saturday, November 26, 2011

Ai Weiwei gave a recent interview in the current issue of Der Spiegel, which you find here (alas, in German), talking about the accusations of tax evasion, his time in prison and the effects on his life. It is a moving conversation, and also an encouraging one, since it proves: In spite of everything that [...]
