Pyongyang, North Korea

Flat Land

Flatland (a Romance of Many Dimensions) is a

great book by Edwin Abbott Abbott. But Flat Land

is also the literal translation of Pyongyang, the

North-Korean capital. A book has been now

published, the first architectonical guide on this

secluded world. A lot of interesting images and

thoughts by Philipp Meuser. If you are curious

about his fascinating images and you want to know

MM1 Pero

It took me some weeks, but I am now moreless

able to use this timeline in an acceptable way.

The other day I went to see this exhibition by JoyHolland in Pero. A very nice work in an

unexpected art gallery. More will follow about it.

For the time being some cute "auguri" from the

middle of nowhere...

Greetings from Milanese

Nowhere...

Milan

Entering the Soft Room

I went back once more to Gianni Pettena archive.

Lots of strange things. Most of them I am not so

sure I like them so much. But some are actually

quite special. More on his Stanza at: http://www.

Pyongyang, North Korea

Lots of People, Very Very Sad

I watched a lot of images and video of Kim Jong Il

funeral. Most of Western journalists write about

people's fake sadness. I think they are actually

really really sad. If they were acting, it means

they have hundred thousand trained actors ready

to perform. Anyway, very impressive to see so

many people really desperate. More images at:

Il Teatro Manzoni

Cape Cod Chandelier

Out of Pipilotti Rist Parasimpatico exhibition, one

thing that was 100% lovely was this spectacular

Chandelier. A great hanging lamp made out of

hundreds underwears.

This is what I like of artists.

This skill of being always better than designers.

Ms Rist comes to Milan, the design capital of the

world.

Every year we have the best designers designing

all kind of lamps. Every possible shape, solution,

idea.

Then, Pippi Longstockings arrive and with a single

fixture she kicks the shit out of all of them. Brava

brava brava.

More images of the chandelier and the rest of her

works at:

Cheetah died (well, one of

the twelve Cheetah died...).

I was very sad to hear about the death of Cheetah.

Well, to be true I wasn't even aware she (actuallyshe was an him) was still alive. Someone you

thought he was dead, but then you get to know he

was alive (and you get to know it the day he dies).

Mmmmmmhhhh... Very very sad. : ( More about

Cheetah at: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/

this fact that there were 12 different cheetas

playing the same role, didn't help to keep a

precise track: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheeta

January 1, 2012

At this dinner with Marco Zanini, there was a

moment when he said: "The only thing being in

short supply is time. Nowadays people spend all

their energy being worried about money, stocks,

economy, investments... ...all of this can be fixed.

Time cannot.

And people very rarely think about this".

Toluca, Mexico

Muscolar Architecture (very

stylish, though)

A couple of days ago, Ricardo Legorreta died. Very

good architect, although I liked very much his

early works, before he took the Barragan loop.

Very modern, very powerful, very stylish. More on

Legorreta at: http://www.facebook.
