in Hamburg it's a must to find THE "hamburger". I suggest this nice place, Heimat Küche is the restaurant of 25h Hotel. from its window you have s great view of the HafenCity area and teh Elbe river. After lunch you can enjoy an long digestive walk on the new pedestrian area where you can spot, among the others, the magnificent Elbphilharmonie, 10 year to complete the construction of this beautiful building and almost €800 of costs.

This is another artistic centre that opened recently, this time housed in a former 19th century music hall that later became an indoor roller coaster attraction (yeah, really). The temporary exhibitions can be hit or miss, but I like hanging out in the free, open-to-all library on the first floor where you can sit in the futurist media pods and flip through the latest arts, culture, music, design and architecture magazines. Their shelves are also filled with a growing endowment of books which seem to be acquired according to the theme of the aforementioned exhibitions. Internet access is available on a dozen or so PCs (or via WiFi on your own machine) and for gamers, there are a few consoles connected to largish plasma screens. The café upstairs, with its classic baroque meets retro-futurist interior, is a sight to behold.

I’m not much of a bar-person, but if and when I do go for a drink, I love to come here. It’s simply the best brown café in Amsterdam. A little off the beaten track, in the middle of a residential neighborhood, you’d really have to go out of your way to come here. Nienke, the proprietress is what we call in Dutch “een topwijf ”. With her warm heart and no nonsense attitude she makes you feel right at home, whether you’re a regular and part of the bar’s furniture, or just pop in occasionally, just like myself.

IS A GALLERY is located at the site of the Shanghai Printing Technology Research Institute, the birthplace of modern Chinese fonts and one of the first type foundries in China. The type foundry was established in August 1956 and even created the occupation of type designer in China. In the 1960s, China used “renovating the old and innovating” to guide its printed typeface design plan at the Institute, which was the only typeface research laboratory in the country at the time. Through the Institute, the title of “typeface designer” was established and the first generation of typeface designers made great contributions to the standardization of Chinese characters. The four common printing typefaces created by the institute, Ming (宋体), Heiti (黑体), Kai (楷体), and Fangsong (仿宋) are widely used, such as in the familiar horizontal editions of the Selected Works of Mao Tse-Tung, the Cihai, and thousands of science and education books. In 2009, the Hanzi typeface sketching craftsmanship project《字印刷字体书写技艺》 enacted by the Shanghai Printing Technology Research Institute was included in the second edition of the Shanghai Intangible Cultural Heritage List. In the 1980s, the Institute took the lead in digitizing a standard typeface library and oversaw the 748 Project free of charge for the printing typefaces listed above, which have become the basic digital typefaces for famous companies such as FounderType.Typefaces used in digital products today are derived from the original scripts provided by the Institute. Established in early 2021, IS A GALLERY works at this modern heritage site to continue bridging traditional graphic design with forward-thinking arts programming and public dialogue. Operating on a four-season model, the gallery alternates between themes of design, multimedia/photography, traditional media, and education in planning exhibitions and providing an open environment for domestic and international artists, designers, curators, educators, scholars, and writers. Conversations between the international and the local are key to IS A GALLERY, which presents shorter, one-month exhibitions in order to create currents across practices. Alongside exhibition programming, IS A GALLERY supports different modes of design, artistic, scholarly, and educational work through different platforms for public engagement. Digital works, online exhibitions, and stand-alone projects are curated online as part of IS A WEB. IS A STUDIO invites members of art, design, and interdisciplinary studios to present lectures, dialogues, and writing without exhibition responsibilities, while IS A SCHOOL works with educators and scholars to present conversations on the latest practices. The gallery’s QUEER ROOM develops the possibilities of a gallery space through dialogues and sharing sessions with queer practitioners. BOOK THE BOOK is the publishing arm of IS A GALLERY, printing publications that record and present the gallery’s exhibitions. From a single exhibition space, IS A GALLERY creates international dialogue about design, art, and education.

South London is largely underrated considering at times it's a treasure chest of gems; Battersea Park is one of those big sparkly ones. An interesting mix of faultlessly pruned gardens, displaced architecture, shape, form and colour generate a delightfully influential weekend stroll. With views of the almighty Battersea Power Station and the river dividing you from the Chelsea Embankment.

CATHRINE RABEN DAVIDSEN Historical accounts, works of fiction and mythological material combined with personal memory often form the point of departure for the work of Danish artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen. Her activities are characterized by a strong fascination with the material and the urge constantly to experiment with and explore different artistic techniques. From early on she has also drawn inspiration from the history of art and from a variety of textual references associated with Western and Eastern mythology and literature. The traditional hierarchies among art, artist-craftsmanship and design are negated in an artistic oeuvre that ranges wide from painting, drawing and ceramics to costumes and stage design. Cathrine Raben Davidsen (b. 1972) has exhibited widely in Denmark and abroad and is represented in several national and international art collections. Public collections include: SMK, The National Gallery of Denmark, Trapholt Museum of Modern Art, Applied Art, Design and Architecture, Horsens Art Museum and The New Carlsberg Foundation among others. She has created costumes and set design for The Royal Danish Ballet and has received numerous prestigious awards, grants and scholarships. She is educated in Italy, The Netherlands and in Denmark at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She lives and works in Copenhagen.
