Nantes / Park

THE green place in downtown Nantes

Paris / Club

You enter La Fidelity and will find a very classic Parisian Brasserie, probably almost empty. Maybe one or two people at the bar. In the middle of this place you will find the stairs that go down to the cave. Have fun!

Paris / Restaurant

Delicious food and so nice place.

Oslo / Park

Ekebergparken is Oslo's newest sculpture park with work by artist such as Louise Bourgeois, Sarah Sze, Marina Abramović and Sean Henry. In addition to the sculptures placed carefully in between the forested parkland, Ekebergparken has a fantastic view of the City.

Saint-Tropez / Beach

From l'Escalet beach to De Briande beach, the water is full transparent and the view breathless... Go there if you want to take a shot of nature, away from strass en jet set style !

Valencia / Shop

This funny design objects store is located in Ruzafa, next to the “Estación del Norte” train station. It’s interior design belongs to Masquespacio, and it invites the visitors to join a pop universe inspired by the 80’s Memphis geometric aesthetics. It’s main claim are original valencian design souvenirs, that try to run away from the typical random travel gifts. Gnomo is the right store for those who want to get a nice and original gift from Valencia. You will find jewelry, postcards, illustrations, paper craft and decor.

Granada / Art

Big talented creator born in Granada in 1904. He experimented with different creative processes (films, sound, texts...). In my opinion, his activity and vanguardist trend haven't been acknowledged as they deserve. He is an inspiration drive and I admire him.

Utrecht / Creative Space

Kapitaal is a silkscreen workplace where i used to be involved with a lot. After leaving it, I still return quite often for silkscreening, a lecture, exhibitions, a party, or just for good talks.

Nagoya / Bar

Yamayamado is a bar with a gallery and the owner is an alpinist. Artists, writers and people from TV comes here night after night. A beautiful affable siberian husky welcomes them. Most of them know each other. I like watching their relationships which seems a little bit complicated, that includes me. The owner is so generous and drinks like me. A 'Closed' sign is always hung in front but, don’t worry, it’s open. 5 mins on foot from Kakuouzan metro station.

London / Shop

I spend many hours in the bookshops along this stretch, namely Henry Pordes for second hand books and new discounted titles (pile on left of photo), as well as Koenig Books for new art books with lots of great discounts in the basement. (photo right). In 2001 the rents for much of this strip were increased to align them closer to market value but thanks to public support they were reduced again. Unfortunately some bookshops still closed down; Koenig replaced the beloved Zwemmers - a real institution - but thankfully still provide great books, although others are no longer bookshops at all.

Stratford / Restaurant

Hands down one of the best restaurants in Stratford. AO is a casual spot specializing in made to order pasta using noodles which they make on site. They have a revolving menu which changes seasonally, but offer some staples like their Bucatini all'amatriciana and arancini.

Paris / Library

Books, exhibitions, magazines... art is everywhere inside.
