Friday, March 16th, 2007

Everyone! Go check atelier v.!
These lovely inventions will definitely make you smile, and some of them might actually come in very handy around the house! (i think i will give these a go!)

They may not all be very safe, but that they are original can’t be denied!

feel the surface

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007

Tageswerk is a photoblog i’ve already been folowing for quite some time. But only now i discovered Christian Baron’s second photoblog ‘feel the surface’. This special concept only contains 6 pictures until now, but i’m already a fan. I like this very personal project of his very much.

espacio cultural metropolitano

Thursday, March 1st, 2007

In my hometown Antwerp there is always something to do. Lots of theaters, exhibits, galleries, movie theaters and concerts brighten your night and day. When we first came to Tampico, i was afraid there was nothing cultural or artistic happening here. But luckily they were already building METRO, el espacio cultural metropolitano. Last week i went to see the ‘Rodin’ exhibit and i must say they made quite an effort on this building. The exhibit space already looks perfect, it’s a wide open industrial space with, of course, walls as white as fresh snow. In another room they had also a very good photography exhibit about mexicans crossing the border to America and the inhuman things happening over there. This ‘espacio cultural’ looks promising to me! I was curious about their theater program, but they are so new they didn’t even have a brochure printed and they couldn’t give me some actual information on the program either. So i guess i just have to go back once and a while to see what’s happening, very mexican :-) !
