burning man
when looking back at this years past events in the world there is one image that is etched permanently into my retinas. it’s the image of jamphel yeshi, a 27 year old exhile from tibet, who set himself on fire to protest a visit from the chinese president to india. I can’t be the only one, as several artist have been inspired or payed tribute to him. by wn
mr. delhomme
was so happy the other day to find a super nice interview of mr. jean philippe delhomme on garance dore’s blog. rather unexpected place to read about the guy, but lovely nonetheless. seeing his work on campaigns or wherever is too rare but always so inspiring and nice! the book on his digital alias the unknown hipster is definitely a must for christmas. by pp.

OR JUST BE YOU
favorite quote from an interview for a book i’m oddly compelled to read…
why is france such a poor market for contemporary art, compared to london, new york and LA?
“because the french have a more refined sense of taste and self-worth and are therefore much less suggestible to hype and mediocrity. i try to avoid the country as much as possible.”
– charles saatchi
maybe it’s the biblical format for words on the art world. kl
