a visual collective outlet of inspiration
“right now at David Zwirner Gallery, you can dip into one of the weirder artistic rivers of the last 40 years and behold—or participate in—on kawara’s mad epic sculpture–performance One Million Years. the japanese-born, new york–based artist’s rarely seen work is centered around a desk and two chairs in a windowed booth at the center of the otherwise almost empty zwirner gallery. during business hours, two volunteers sit inside the room. one man and one woman take turns reading progressive dates going one million years into the future or into the past. several fridays ago, i spent an hour reading the 875 years between a.d. 38,658 and a.d. 39,533. it was one of the odder hours i’ve ever spent in a gallery.” JS for New York. by dd

Il conformista: bernardo bertolucci
one of my all-time favorite films (based on a novel by alberto moravia). what i don’t understand, is how could the same person make such a horrible film like last tango in paris after this film and before the revolution? by dd
the genius of Terry Gilliam : Brazil!
must see film for any sci-fi lover. next to kubrick’s more serious and stylistic 2001: a space odyssey, this is by far my most favorite sci-fi film. the current situation in the world, especially under the past eight years, makes this film a more than ever, important must see. by dd
Capucine and Anouk Aimee
is that a whip you are holding my dear capucine?
two of my favorite women in cinema, the most beautiful ever. those faces, the nose the eyes everything just perfectly chic. now i know why we all developed a crush on sabina! born, respectively, germaine lefebvre and francoise sorya dreyfus. by dd

Afro lovin’
tactile and graphic designer heidi chisholm’s work is inspirational, colorful and full of love for her home continent, africa. beauty is subjective and sometimes, like in this design, bigger is definitely better! by kv

where are you stranger?
just heard that our native-godfather of grand words. mr. leonard cohen, is back, and after 15 years will perform at the beacon theater in new york city on february 19th, 2009. now of course as much as i love his words… and even his music, i simply can’t bare to attend any show that is anywhere larger than the old knitting factory. in a strange way it’s like being with 500 strangers, making love to what you felt was always just yours. it’s selfish i know, but great music is like that. that said i’m sure it will be amazing, so get those tickets before pp buys them all. by dd
just what we needed!
yep, louis vuitton has made a skateboard! for $8,250.00 you can get the limited edition (actually there’s only 3 of them!) and the proceeds are benefiting the free arts NYC program. it obviously comes in a classic brown louis vuitton suitcase, decorated with steven sprouse’s pink graffiti as part of the launch of vuitton’s sprouse inspired collection. you know, just in case you’re in to that sort of stuff… by kv
Andrew Richardson
Was checking andrew’s correct spelling on the web and saw this.
“This shot was part of a story we did with madonna. The guy in the mirror is Andrew Richardson, who was an assistant stylist. Another picture I took of him eventually ended up on the cover of Italian Vogue, but he was never really a model. I shot him from time to time, and I think he posed for me just for fun, or maybe to meet madonna! Next to him is Mars, a circus performer from Russia. He walked the tightrope.”- Steven Meisel
I cant confirm the facts and having worked with andrew a few times I simply cant see how this could be him, but maybe in younger days… if so he must have looked rather hot… as a boy or a girl. by zz
