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. [...]

AND THERE WAS LIGHT…

Wednesday, April 17, 2013

If you happen to be in London over the next few weeks, make sure to catch Light Show at the Hayward Gallery – undoubtedly the best exhibition I’ve seen of the year so far. Bringing together 22 works in which artists have used light as their primary medium, the show includes installations from James Turrell, [...]

NIGHTCALL

Thursday, April 4, 2013

A nice cover of Kavinsky’s Nightcall from the soundtrack of Drive by the Parisian band based in London, We Were Evergreen. The sympathetic apparence of the band members in the video, which is shot for Beirut Jam Sessions, and  the beautiful sound of the xylophone even forces one to question which one is better: the original [...]

Wednesday, February 27, 2013

Alice’s route in The Wonderland, connections of 100 years of music or biggest influencers of web… All are written on a tube map, mostly influenced by London’s. Thanks to Brainpickings.

POSTSCRIPT 02: MONO.KLUB #40

Thursday, December 20, 2012

As it happens, our friends at Purple Magazine filmed the conversation between Robert Montgomery and myself during our London launch for Echoes of Voices in the High Towers. As cringeworthy as it is to see yourself on film, Robert is of course his usual sweet self  – see what he has to say over at [...]

POSTSCRIPT: MONO.KLUB #40

Friday, November 30, 2012

A second book launch for our publication with Robert Montgomery that couldn’t have been more different from our initial launch party in Berlin: instead of the grand party in the former swimming pool, an intimate conversation between Robert and myself, which was fun, interesting and very direct, discussing our book, the Berlin summer project, why [...]

MONO.KLUB #40: ECHOES OF VOICES IN THE HIGH TOWERS / LONDON

Thursday, November 22, 2012

Dear Friends,
since Robert Montgomery came all the way from London to join us for the release of our shared publication Echoes of Voices in the High Towers a few weeks ago, it seemed only fair to return the favour and make our way over to the grand isles to present our book in person to [...]

MASS VERSUS CLASS

Tuesday, October 16, 2012

We are still overwhelmed by the impressions of this year’s Frieze Art Fair. Even though we have experienced once more that an art fair is not always easy to handle, since its approach is rather different than that of other big exhibitions, we still have spotted some interesting pieces and well-arranged booths!
David Maljkovic at Annet [...]
