Jean luc godard interview: Everything or nothing from NZZ


NZZ (swiss-german newspaper) on sunday nov 14 2010:
monsieur godard, next saturday, the academy of motion picture arts & sciences will award you an honorary oscar for lifetime achievement. what does this mean to you?

JLG (jean-luc godard): nothing. if the academy likes to do it, let them do it. but i think it’s strange. i asked myself: Which of my films have they seen? do they actually know my films? the award is called the governor’s award. does this mean that schwarzenegger gives me the award?

NZZ: where do you see yourself in the history of cinema?

JLG: next door.

hansen family – trunk & drunk




love the atypical path of gesa hansen who decided to take over her family savoir-faire and added her designer experience to create hansen family. they describe it as: handmade furniture, homegrown wood, new scandinavian design. the bottom line is that they bring a new look and a twist to iconic scandinavian designs. my personal fav is the trunk inspired bar called “drunk” above! love it! by pp

the pen is mightier


brilliant, beautiful and cheap! no, not the ideal woman it’s the 98% biodegradable pen with non-toxic ink designed by young new york local, leon ransmeier. leon is a part of the design group rich brilliant willing and even though his breakthrough design was with droog in the netherlands he has more of a japanese sensibility than dutch … ‘‘i’m not interested in conceptual one-liners,’’ he says. ‘‘i want there to be a very clear reason behind everything i do.’’ by kl
