The location of this museum is a 1930’s art déco style industrial building. It used to be an hydraulic bombs factory. After a restoration, the building maintains its architectonic essence and nowadays, this huge art center harbors in its plants a wide collection of rotating and permanent contemporary art pieces.

London / Area

In between soho and covent garden. There ares lots of great independent shops on this street. Dover bookshop, magma, super superficial and Mint to name a few. Also if you want a cheap lunch on your work break Cafe No.1 is amazing. £2.50 jacket potatoes with cheese and beans.

Perpignan / Shop

Typical south catalan fabric shop with stripes.

New York / Park

where I walk with my dog near my apartment, is also the remains of what was Fort Putnam in the late 1700’s and later Fort Washington near the Navy Yard. Not the largest park but a regular part of my routine and big enough to feel like you’re still out of the city when you’re in the middle of it.

Paris / Museum

My favourite musem in Paris! Go to the book store, full of books and arty gadgets.

Tokyo / Gallery

This gallery is located in the Toei Animation. Toei Animation, with the history of more than 50 years, is a representative animation company in Japan, and has produced a lot of animated movies and TV animated cartoons. In this gallery, the valuable interesting things used in the animations beforehand are displayed.

Amsterdam / Shop

Since I’m a graphic designer I'm obviously into books and my favourite bookstore in Amsterdam is Boekie Woekie. This small shop is located in the Nine Streets and they sell nice and special publications that are often hard to find because they are self published or published by small press publishers. If you are into graphic design you should really check it out.

New York / Park

I read that the design of Central Park's curving spaces was a Romantic counter to the geometry of Enlightenment-era gardens. I heard this design was influenced by landscape painting, where its foreground, middleground, and background constantly shift as you walk the paths. I find new pockets and features every time I'm there. One of my favorite spots is with the Central Park Dance Skaters, a group that roller skates in circles all day to vintage electro funk. These characters generously lend you the feeling of being in your own 1980's New York film.

Montevideo / Park

West of the city you can find beautiful gardens and parks in a zone called Prado. All surroundings are green with nature colors and smells. In this area you can find the Botanic, this is a special place to me and my inspirations.

Nagoya / Park

Heiwa Park is s a cemetery of 150 hectare with a large pond and lawn field, its near my residence. Heiwa means peace. I like taking a walk with my camera watching people worshipping, fishing and playing easy baseball. In spring, so many people enjoy sakura blossom with a bento (lunch box) and booze. I think ‘people’ in the cemetery is also looking forward to be with us every year. 20 mins of foot from Higashiyamakoen or Hoshigaoka metro stations.

Cape Town / Bar

New Harbour, is a craft distillery, run by the amazing due Nic and Andri Janeke. They will not only serve you the best Gin in Cape Town, but will also make you feel happy and at home. You have to try their Vodka, Rooibos Infused Gin and Spekbook Gin, honestly my favourite Gin on the planet.

Austin / Other

My favorite thing about being in Austin is driving while listening to: Country, Swing, and Rockabilly Jamboree, Country Roots, The Lounge Show, Non-Breaking Space, The Cutting Edge, Jamaican Gold, Strictly Bluegrass, and Slappy Pinchbottom's Odd Preoccupation, and many more fine programs on offer from the all volunteer community local FM radio station.
