Cosy Thursdays presents Kissenkino

Monday, November 21, 2011

Kissenkino (that literally means Pillow Cinema) is a new event happening one evening per month, with the aim of warming up Berlin’s long, sometimes boring and cold winter evenings. Cosy Thursdays propose you to leave the comfort and solitude of your warmed up flat to step into João Cocteau’s space in Neukölln to meet your [...]

Back to Writing

Saturday, November 19, 2011

As we all know, Word sucks. So here’s a radical tool for everyone who prefers .txt over .doc, or who rather puts down a thought in thunderbird than starting up a bloated office suite. The manufacturer claims:
A better tool doesn’t make a better craftsman, but a good tool makes working a pleasure. iA Writer for [...]

STASILAND

Friday, November 18, 2011

Our friends at Ein Magazin über Orte recently published their latest issue dedicated to Berlin, and I’m really happy that they asked to include a few images of a series that I started working on quite a few years ago (and since then shamefully neglected), on the city’s layered past, in this case its East [...]

SHERRIE LEVINE: MAYHEM

Wednesday, November 16, 2011

“Mayhem” is a curious title for the Whitney Museum of American Art’s recently opened mid-career retrospective of Sherrie Levine’s work. Walking through the museum’s spare galleries is as sedate a subdued trip to Soho’s neo-modern furniture boutiques – a quiet room of smoked-glass skulls encased in mahogany vitrines, a long passage of three perfectly aligned, [...]
