NEW ILLUSTRATION

Thursday, May 3, 2012, posted by kvr.

This autumn will see the opening of a new and ambitious school called AID Berlin for illustration and image-making which in fact has been pretty much ignored by Berlin design schools as a field of study in its own right. As a little teaser, the school will run a series of exhibitions on illustration on their beautiful new premises in Kreuzberg during the summer, before school gates open for real. The opening act is an overview of work by AID’s future teachers, including yours truly, taking place Saturday evening. You know where to find us.

OF MICE AND MEN

Thursday, May 3, 2012, posted by kvr.

Last night our cover star Ryan McGinley’s latest exhibition opened in New York, with entirely new work that seems to be leading away even further from his road trip pieces that he became famous for, into a more abstract and graphic, if still equally colourful realm entirely his own.

JUMPYPOTATO

Thursday, May 3, 2012, posted by gk.

With Jumpy Potato, one can find various genres of mix tapes with designed covers, including videos and gifs. These mixtapes are made by not only musicians but also designers. Without any commercial concerns, two designers with a strong influence by music are generating the site. What concerns them mostly is to have a playground with a good taste of music from all around the world. Find a mix tape dedicated to a cult name in Turkish music scene from 80s, also known for his surreal videos, here.

MONDAY MUSIC: THEESATISFACTION

Monday, April 30, 2012, posted by kvr.

Black Up by Shabazz Palaces was one of our favourite albums last year, so it comes as no surprise that we would be listening very closely when THEESatisfaction, the girls who pinned some of the female vocals on Black Up, come back on their own, with a slightly sweeter funk on their debut album Awe Naturale.

BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND 01: MARK BORTHWICK

Saturday, April 28, 2012, posted by kvr.

Berlin is in art fever this weekend, with Thursday’s opening of the new and, how to put it, brave? Berlin biennial and three days of Gallery Weekend. So far and two days in, what I enjoyed most, weirdly, is Mark Borthwick’s little installation at the back of the new Comme des Garçons store, called Fountains of Ardor – a typical Borthwick-style collage setting of his photographs and polaroids, mingled with flowers, drawings and little poems. It’s sweet and refreshingly unpretentious, beautiful stuff.
