RESTAURANT DAY

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

When I went to Helsinki, I was really surprised by the amazing quality of food there. I mean, we all know that Scandinavians appreciate a drink or five, but in terms of food, well… But not Finland, oh no, they are something like the France of Scandinavia when it comes to culinary delights (I’m serious, [...]

TOBIAS ZIELONY: MANITOBA

Wednesday, April 11, 2012

Our ongoing obsession with youth has been the focus of many photographers these days, from our recent cover star Ryan McGinley to Dutch artist Rineke Dijkstra (who has a grand retrospective at the Guggenheim New York upcoming this summer).
But none does achieve the curiously moving balance between distance and empathy like Berlin-based photographer Tobias Zielony, [...]

TIME IS OUT OF JOINT

Thursday, February 23, 2012

The exhibition of  Boris Mikhailov is opening today at the Berlinische Galerie. The Ukranian artist’s works document the social disintegration, poverty, harshness of everyday life and the absurdity that comes with these situations, mostly in Soviet Union times. The exhibition shows a selection of works from earlier periods till now, including the works produced [...]

HIGHWAY PORTRAITS

Wednesday, February 15, 2012

Isn’t everyone familiar with those moments when you are sitting in your car, early morning, waiting at a traffic light, catching an unexpected glimpse into the neighbouring car? It’s an oddly private moment in an extremely public space, which is probably the reason why Diego Gimenez‘ brilliant series of Highway Portraits feels so enchanting. We [...]

SUDDEN POETRY

Tuesday, February 7, 2012

All work by Robert Montgomery

VINTAGE 80S

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

T’is the season of the year-end best of photobook list (good ones here and here), and while it’s tempting to show off one’s eccentric and refined taste, I think it’s nicer to narrow in on something fun (and cheap). I picked up Johnny Stiletto’s Vintage 80s a while back, and cannot be happier. Stiletto’s sly, [...]

WEDNESDAY MUSIC: SHABAZZ PALACES

Wednesday, December 7, 2011

We’ve mentioned it before, but since it’s all grey and rainy outside, more time for the inside, and what better moment to have a little peek into Shabazz Palaces latest and rather brilliant album Black Up – a certain someone’s favourite album of the year, and that’s saying something.
