we love: "just kids" a written and visual diary by patti smith

Have you ever seen patti smith in a concert? well, if you havent i
would suggest you to do it whenever you have the chance to do it.
reading poetry, singing, talking to the audience, es ist egal,
this lady is pure.
this book was published last year,
a nice compilation of her memoires about her teen years, the early 20´s,
her relation with new york, and her long time partner and friend
robert mapplethorpe and their mutual relationship with creativity.
"just kids" is a beautiful story filled up with pages with great
photography and poetry from both, smith and mapplethorpe,
written withouth walls between the reader and the writer;
a beautiful farewell.

we love: ed templeton´s "the golden age of neglect" photobook

its getting hot in here... this book came to my hands and i felt instantly in love with it. ed templeton is one of my early loves on contemporary photography. he is amazing. i love how he writes on his own photos, this mix of written and image, this visual diary need taken to the fully explanation of the moment, of the how, the when. i love how he displays his pieces in his exhibitions and he is just a talented talented talented artist. this "golden age of neglect" was an exhibition at the palais de tokio in paris a few years ago. this is the catalog that stays and make people happy in despite of the temporary access to the hung pics. and thats exactly why we love books like this one.


display of one of the exhibition of ed templeton. it rocks! we love his rooms with his visual diaries spread all over, series, words, beautiful images. delicious.

we love: cutting edges, a book about contemporary collage

we like collages. we like hannah höch and paulina olowska and sean mackaoui and all those artists from the dada movement and the bauhaus who used to play with it everyday. if you love collage as much as we do you probably have noticed how often you see now collages everywhere -magazines illustrations, exhibitions, advertising-. this revival has been already checked out carefully at the new book "cutting edges" published by gestalten, the great berliner+editorial+creativehub+visual+culture+compillators. coole sache.

we love: william eggleston 2 1/4 photo book by twin palm publishers

hi there. sorry the delay, the days off, the not updating and so on. ive been quite busy and my parents were in munich for a visit. i went with them to haus der kunst, the museum i used to work at in munich, and all the remembrance made me quite melancholic. so this is sort of the past coming to the present or how william eggleston came into my life working for haus der kunst in his amazing retrospective exhibition. i love this gentleman's work. if you have lived in the southern part of the states you will understand perfectly his tones, his light, his snapshotpoetry in shape of a-middle-format-photography.
i love it.
and i just remember talking with emily, who came from the whitney museum to take back all the photographs back to ny, she was bent over the photographs, almost her nose at the glass of the copies, looking with this tiny lamp at the photographs, hey emily whats up, is anything wrong with the pieces, are they scratched or something? no, not really. i just love to watch eggleston's pics from this close up. i could spend hours looking at his photos.
i feel the same way about him. this book from twin palm publishers is quite nice done, the deep south americana tones of the light are well respected after the printing press.
the small details are the ones that make the big differences.
