Versace for H&M preview night... We happened to win an invite for it, we were even kind of excited because living somehow apart, being busy with work we can't manage to meet so often. We met =) BAM! white fur all over no no no not pillow fight what so ever, just both of us wearing white fur coats. We went out for dinner at Kaffeehaus wonderful pumpkin soup! BAM! white fur all over again! No not on the soup... two stray white dogs have kept us company while having dinner, one of them was truly mysterious.

Well, speaking of dogs, they are free because they don't question themselves. Well, we did it, we questioned ourselves and all the huge amount of people in a queue waiting to enter H&M for the Versace event. Suddenly we looked at each other and thought: NO WAY! We will not be wasting our time 

for one piece of fancy H&M, which everybody will know where it's from and everybody has. Maybe if something remains from the fashion victims fury! We left 5 minutes after looking around and being a little bit depressed with all the pomp; definitely not our kind of thing.

We promise we will write a post if one of us ends up buying Versace for H&M! In the meanwhile we hope you seize your time well and enjoy the pics of us that night at dinner and the white fur inspiration.

Sarah Moon

Sarah Moon is a french photographer born in 1941. In 1970 started photographing and became famous by shooting the campaign of Cacharel. She works themes as childhood, feminine, death and loneliness. Sarah Moon tries to disconnect from reality, placing the model in a fiction, in a story that she creates in her mind to seek that moment of beauty. The result of the developing process, often made by Patrick Toussaint, and its accidents evoque the passage of time and degradation adding to her photography a certain fragility and delicacy.

Ana Dinger at my studio

This weekend i had the pleasure of having Ana Dinger at my studio. I find her face so expressive and beautiful that I couldn't resist to make some photos.

Ana started by studying dance and then sculpture. Her need to raise questions and develop deeper studies in subjects as performance, made her pursue contemporary art studies. Adding to this she has this immense love and ability as a writer. Ana has organized a conference held in Lisbon this year, with the title "Exposing Exhibition". She has been also writing description texts that accompany the exhibitions present at the Museu Berardo in Ccb.

I believe she has a very promising career ahead of her and will write interesting publications and books with reflexions on the art panorama. So if you're an art lover and thinker you better keep an eye on Ana.

Maurizio Cattelan

Maurizio Catellan is having a 21-year retrospective at the Guggenheim, in New York. 123 art pieces are exhibited in an unusual way, suspended by cables in the museum rotunda. These pieces are literally hanging in the air, occupiyng the whole central space in the Guggenheim Museum, which makes you discover the pieces as you go up in the building.
This innovative exhibition called 'All' was a huge surprise for art critics and lovers and appears after Maurizio Cattelan announced his retirement from the art world, which as been seen as a clever decision in since he had already reached it's highest. As the works hang from the ceiling we can feel them like puppets in a fragile position. As Linda Yablonsky from The Times puts it, "The 123 works on view suggest nothing if not a mass suicide by hanging, and for that reason the spectacle is as sad and sobering as it is remarkable."
Anyway, if you by any case are lucky enough to go to NY until January don't let this pass.

Hill of Crosses

In the end of the nineteenth century, when Lithuania became part of the Russian empire, some lithuanians rebelled against russian authorities. The creation of the Hill of Crosses relates to the perish of the rebels as their families couldn't locate their bodies started placing symbolic crosses on this location. This hill is continuously being formed by Christian pilgrims. The number of crosses exponentially grew as in 1900 it had around 130 crosses and today it's made of over 100.000.
