Valencia / Shop

An independent shop in the historic centre of the Barrio del Carmen that feels like a cross between a curiosity shop and an art gallery. It's filled with old posters, photographs and trinkets from yesteryear as well as some contemporary graphic design pieces.

Kyoto / Shop

A place where you can shop some Stone Island, Off White... amazing architectural place.

Los Angeles / Other

This is the fast track from downtown to Hollywood. I get all my exercise here, it has the perfect amount of hills and is the by far the safest bike route, as motorists are more used to the cyclists than other streets. Anything you can think of is on Sunset Blvd, so I can pick up my dry cleaning, eat lunch, visit my friends, and exercise all in one trip.

New York / Art Centre

Dia:Beacon is a short train ride from the city in a former Nabisco box printing factory. This art foundation has 240,000 square feet of art from the 1960s to the present. Dia features the work of Sol LeWitt, Imi Knoebel, Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, Agnes Martin, On Kawara, Bruce Nauman, and many others. I love going during the summer to enjoy the gardens surronding the building.

New York / Studio Spaces

If you are looking for extraordinary studio-space, rental and awesome customer service included: this is your place to have your photo-shoots happening! There is also a lot of attractive outdoor options in the area around Greenpoint.

The Hague / Food Store

There are many Indonesian restaurants in The Hague, but this is one of my favorites. Only 3 tables. Mainly take away food. Also very kind staff.

London / Place

One of my favourite things about London is the underground transport system itself. I love the design of the information systems and the stations have so much history — some of them dating right back to the 1800s.

Athens / Place

Plaka is a historic neighborhood located in the heart of Athens, Greece. It is known for its picturesque narrow streets, traditional Greek architecture, and scenic views of the Acropolis. Plaka is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Athens, and it is located at the foot of the Acropolis hill. The area is characterized by its neoclassical buildings, Byzantine churches, and Ottoman-era mansions. In Plaka, visitors can find a variety of restaurants, cafes, bars, and shops selling souvenirs and traditional Greek products. The neighborhood is also home to several museums, including the Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments, the Museum of Popular Music Instruments, and the Museum of Greek Children's Art. One of the main attractions in Plaka is the Anafiotika neighborhood, a tiny enclave of whitewashed houses and narrow alleys that resemble the villages of the Cyclades islands. Another popular site in Plaka is the Roman Agora, an ancient marketplace that dates back to the 1st century BC. Plaka is a charming and vibrant neighborhood that offers visitors a glimpse into the history and culture of Athens, as well as stunning views of the city's most famous landmark, the Acropolis.

Seoul / River

Great for a long walk by the river with heaps of parks and exercise stops.

London / Club

If you already love Brilliant Corners, then you'll love Giant Steps in Hackney Wick, a new club in collaboration with Analogue Foundation. Perfect for the ones who love to get it groovy on the dancefloor.

Buenos Aires / Food Store

I reaaaaally like bagels (I mean, BIG TIME). Until Sheikob's, there weren't any SERIOUSLY heavenly good bagels around. Located in the barrio of Palermo, this place is as humble as it can be. I heard Sheikob is a New Yorker. If that is the case, he has managed to make a great mix&match between local manners, with NYC's spirit.

Amsterdam / Gallery

One of the greatest contemporary galleries in the world. You're welcome.

Baltimore / Musician

For me, making music always begins with little compositional experiments. I surround myself with a room full of instruments, centered around a digital multi-track recorder. One-by-one, I take each different instrument (or any combination of them) and record a line of music. Every subsequent line gets its bearings as a counterpoint to the previous one. Soon I find myself before a small orchestra of Julien's, all playing different instruments with different contrapuntal lines. The sound of the whole is so different from that of any individual part, and completely unexpected: it is like discovering a secret. This discovery is why I make music. My new album, "THE SALE," has this process of unexpected discovery as its compositional basis, while exploring themes of memory and fictions, love and indifference, and estrangement and alienation. The album was recorded partially in my childhood home in Baltimore, and partially in my dorm room at Princeton University. Nearly everything you hear on the record--from voice to guitar, bass, keys, and drums--was played and recorded by myself, with a few notable exceptions from friends, classmates, and local Baltimore musicians.
