NOT THAT KIND OF PRINT

Friday, September 27, 2013

1 R.I.P. Alexander Mcqueen.
2 Democratically or not, today’s sartorial companies increasingly busy themselves with producing competent chic for the lowest common denominator leaving the modern modester to angst over the fate of haute couture.
Never fear: Iris van Herpen will provide your inner sartorialist ample relief.
Though the Dutch designer is just 29 years old and her house only 6, [...]

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 [...]

THOMAS RUFF, IN 3D AND ON MARS

Thursday, April 11, 2013

phg.08, 2012

This has never been more evident than in photograms and ma.r.s, his current show at David Zwirner, in New York. [...]

In the wake of hurricane Sandy ravaging the east coast of the US, see a live data visualisation by Fernanda Vegas and Martin Wattenberg of where the winds blow right now, and I could just stare at that [...]

MEANWHILE, ON MARS

Monday, August 6, 2012
