No No Tip

What does a hipster do when he realizes that his hipness won’t take him anywhere in life? He flips. But no tips.

MARTINO TREATS #03: TRATTORIA AL CAPPELLO

No mini survey of our current cover star Martino Gamper’s work would be complete without mentioning food in general, and his legendary pop-up dinner evenings Trattoria al Cappello in particular, for which he not only cooked, but also conceived most of the furniture, down to the cutlery and candle holders. Bon Appetit:
Your Trattoria evenings were [...]

ECHOES OF VOICES UPDATE #02

When we started our Kickstarter campaign for our forthcoming book with Robert Montgomery, we really had no idea whether this would work – we were new to Kickstarter and had no experience with crowdfunding whatsoever, and were also a little reluctant to ask for help in the first place. We certainly did not imagine that [...]

WHEN POETRY BECOMES LIGHT

Dear Friends,
let us talk about good deeds today. We all know the saying of doing a good deed a day, which is actually not all that easy. Even though it is, if only we wouldn’t keep forgetting.

CHRISTMAS KINDNESS 04: DAVID SHRIGLEY

Now that we are spending some splendid moments in Glasgow, it’s only appropriate to waste our final act of kindness on the dubious talents of one David Shrigley. See, it’s been years ago that we produced our first set of mono.editionen, and in a way, you can blame it on Shrigley that we thought it [...]
