  • Weather reports show that 29th June 1882 was abnormally hot and sultry. At sunset most Glaswegians were disturbed by a noise whose cause was discussed in the local press through the following fortnight.

  • Feeble Attempts Jeffrey Brown
  • Today I went to the art museum. I flashed my ID to walk right in at no charge, giving me an inflated sense of naughty coolness. There was a new painting up by a French painter I’d never heard of. I liked it. There were hundreds of children there learning what art is really all [...]

Zoveel schoonheid en zoveel lelijkheid zo dicht bij [...]

  • A Touch of the Dexia Tower
  • “Touch” is een interactieve architectuur installatie door LAb[au] die sinds 26 december en nog tot 15 januari dagelijks te zien is op de Dexia Toren (van de architecten Samyn/Jaspers/Eyers) op het Rogierplein in Brussel. Ik ben heel enthousiast over die 145 meter hoge Dexia Toren (gebouwd op de plaats van de gesloopte Martini Toren), die [...]
