SOLIDARITY

Tuesday, June 4, 2013

Protests in Turkey are going on while the type of gas used by the police is constantly changing. First it was burning eyes, make one puke; then the one that hurts the skin… The last but not least is affecting the ability to think properly. Bring it on Mr. President!

Supernatural Strategies…for making a Rock’n'Roll Group.

Thursday, April 4, 2013

The Rock’n’roll group has long mystified and shocked through pageantry, or distaste there of; if ever it even gave a damn. For decades now, this ‘genre’ of Rock’n’roll keeps going, recycling itself or scrapping [nearly] everything and starting again. Like Jazz, rock is everywhere now.

TRADING STYLE

Wednesday, November 7, 2012

Fashion exhibitions are a difficult feat, even though they are wildly popular in terms of visitor numbers. And yet, clothes behind vitrines somehow mostly miss the point. A slightly different approach is taken by the ethnic Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, where tonight the exhibition Trading Style will open: presenting not only more than 500 fashion [...]
