I opened a solo show at the prestigious Centro Cultural Borges in Buenos Aires on Thursday. Called Water Makes Me Wet, the exhibition runs until the end of the month. I also just finished a set of window displays for high-end, Argentine fashion designer, Martin Churba, which opened last week. Martin Churba’s window displays can be seen at Tramando until September 6th, 2009. They’re co-related to the exhibition. Read more

Somewhere in the Grand Buenos Aires, specifically in the neighborhood of Marcos Paz, Argentina, we found the Boeing House, a typical two sided roof chalet into which some parts of a Boeing 747 were inserted. Read more

Raúl Lemesoff is the creator of the Massive Education Weapon, which is a kind of RV sculpture that contains thousands of books that are given away to children and poor people. Lemesoff also accepts donations during the trips. This ‘weapon’ is the only vehicle Lemesoff owns and that’s why you can see him cruising around the streets of Buenos Aires when he has some personal business to attend or when he goes for a drink. Bars, shantytowns, rural houses and poor districts are just some of the destinations at which Lemesoff’s peculiar vehicle gives away books. Read more

Since the bottom fell out of the Argentine peso in 2001, Buenos Aires has gone from being one of the most unaffordable destinations in the world, to one of the most accessible. With stunning European style, an addictive Latino vibe, and steaks that will tempt even the most committed of vegetarians, it’s easy to see why the city is on every traveller’s hot list at the moment. However, if you’re planning a trip to Argentina’s über cool capital, it’s important to consider your accommodation options. While the city is flush with four and five star hotels, one of the best ways to get a true Porteño experience is to rent an apartment in one of the best barrios — Palermo or Recoleta. To cater for international visitors, a few enterprising agencies now offer short-term leases in some very slick and surprisingly inexpensive apartments. Check out Buenos Aires Habitat or BYT Argentina.

I went to a Isol/Zypce concert in Buenos Aires last week and fell in love with their sound. This experimental singer-songwriter brother and sister duo proves that Argentinean music is not just about Tango. Though, of course, I love Tango, too!

Our friends at College Humor have cast the ultimate dispersion on those cool strolling, hipster low pant wearers, who tend to proliferate around the subways of Brooklyn. Mind you, I’d rather be dressed like them than the farmer, who damn near chokes himself with his outrageous pant height. Read more

Philly indie rock group Dr Dog recently compiled a crackling Secret Playlist for us which included props for songs by Cass McCombs, Thunderclap Newman, and the new time rag star, A.A Bundy, about whose track, Vice Rag, keyboardist Zach Miller wrote: ‘Good enough to be a classic old timey melody, except with more contemporary lyrical vices added. Great guitar playing’. And so it is [yup, the proof's in the audio below]. You can read more about Dr Dog’s favourite songs via the My Secret Playlist website.

MIIIIIIKKKKKKKKEEE SNNNNNNOOOOWWW. Well, actually, Miike Snow. While everyone is obsessed with his track Animal, I’m loving his track Black and Blue from his new self-titled album.
