This library is located in Kanazawa, Japan, and is most likely intended as a multi-funtion community center. The concept is to design an ‘atmosphere’ for reading. This library consists of a single quiet room which resembles a forest, filled with soft light, and a feeling of openness reminiscent of the outdoors. Read more

Cyprien Chabert is a French artist who recently exhibited his latest show, Dogs Meow, in Hong Kong. In it, he invited viewers to a remote island that he has discovered. No mankind exists; it’s a paradise of animals. But there is a continuously baking dog on this island. So if you see the dog, please make it stop or meow! In this exhibition, Chabert questions the notion of landscape and wildlife.

The dance performance, Kontakthof, bears the unmistakable signature of Pina Bausch: it deals with forms of human contact, the encounters between the sexes, and the search for love and tenderness with all the attendant anxieties, yearnings and doubts. It is about feelings, which poses a big challenge. Particularly for young people. Read more

I went to a small exhibition in Hong Kong recently and was blown away by the work of Chinese sculptural artist, Luo Zhenhong. He lives and works in Chong Qing, China, and his work is largely a repudiation of social cliches and naivety around nuclear destruction.

I recently went to a cool place called the Cattle Depot Artist Village, one of the few places in Hong Kong where artists gather and meet to create. The site was originally used as a slaughterhouse between 1908 and 1999 but now has been renovated into a village for artists.

Last weekend I went to the Golden West in Baltimore to check out the What Cheer? Brigade, a marching band from Providence. I wasn’t expecting much, but when they opened with a cover of Slayer’s Raining Blood, my knees buckled. I think I could hear a musak version of that riff, and I’d still bang my head. The rest of the band’s set was just as riotous, with people dancing so hard, you’d think we were at Mardi Gras. I haven’t had that much fun at a show in ages.
