MUSEUM HOURS

Sunday, August 4, 2013

‘The phenomenon underscores for me the way that artworks of any time speak to us of our own conditions. The walls separating the big old art museum in Vienna from the street and the lives outside are thick. We had hopes to make them porous.’ – Jem Cohen director of  Museum Hours

EMPTYING FLAGS

Thursday, June 20, 2013

Our friends at Neue Berliner Räume are ever so busy, as they invite to the ‘First Public Flag-Raising’ for a project by Sonja Hornung tonight, which can be taken quite literally – but these flags have no meaning. Which, of course, is the entire point.

NEW YORK BABYLON

Saturday, June 15, 2013

It’s one of those random bits of news that you stumble upon every now and then get stuck with, like, ‘While there is no precise count, some experts believe New York is home to as many as 800 languages.’ Hold on, 800? Or have you ever heard of Vlashki, Garifuna, Mamuju? Neither have I, but [...]

LESSER KNOWN ARCHITECTURE

Thursday, June 6, 2013

It’s rare that we will recommend the Brandenburg Gate or the Reichstag when people ask us what to see when coming to Berlin. Not that these are a waste of time, but there are other places and sights woven into the fabric of our lives in the city that we will feel much closer to. [...]

NEW YORK TYPOGRAPHY

Wednesday, June 5, 2013

Probably every self-respecting designer started taking pictures of street typography at some point in their careers (or student days, rather), thinking what an amazing archive this was going to be one day, until the interest started waning and… well, that’s what the Internet and sites like NYC Type are here for, to do the collecting [...]

THE REVOLUTION WILL NOT BE TELEVISED

Sunday, June 2, 2013

By following Tilda Swinton and Madonna, please keep spreading the word about a secular, civil revolution against Islamist fascist* prime ministers and neoliberal capitalists in the world…

Monday, May 27, 2013

Today’s a nice day for everyone waiting for the release of Slow Summits, the latest record by Glasgow residents The Pastels. Even though it was a long time in the coming (first full-length album in 16 years!), it was worth waiting, especially for tracks like ‘Summer Rain’ and ‘Check My Heart’. A triumphant return!

The Pastels [...]

Friday, May 24, 2013

Tonight at 17h is the kick-off for not just one but two fairs of a kind at the opposite ends of the world, united by a thin thread of both featuring our humble adventure in print among their wares.

BERLIN UNDERGROUND

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

Sometimes living in a city you take the weirdest things for granted, simply because you are so used to them. For instance, I was always a little baffled that Berlin underground stations seemed slightly different one to another, but then again I never gave it much thought just how different they really are – until [...]
