London / Gallery

A gallery with a great program of young emerging artists

This bookshop, Charlottenborg Art Books, found at the entrance of the art hall, has a great curated selection of both artist’ books and general art books on art, design and architecture. If you want to dive into experimental book designs from Europe this is the place to visit.

London / Architecture

Even if you have seen it hundreds of times it will still stop you in your tracks. A great piece of architecture and apparently the largest brick structure in Europe.

Nashville / Restaurant

Excellent Ethiopian comfort food, I particularly love their Shiro Wet. They do a beautiful coffee ceremony as well, not to be missed.

Melbourne / Restaurant

This Hare Krishna restaurant has a rotating menu of delicious, inexpensive vegetarian food. The atmosphere is always peaceful and the perfect place to sit is by the window overlooking Swanston St. I recommend the eggplant lasagne if you see it in the window display!

Berlin / Airport

The Tempelhof Airport is now closed and they have transformed the landing field into a public park area. As soon as you go there you notice that usually you don't get to see that much sky in the city so entering this area for the first time is quite overwhelming. I especially love the old softball fields that have been built during the American occupation.

San Francisco / Bookstore

Stout would go around the world and bring back rare books and that's how the store was born.

Tilburg / Event

The summer-festivities that are organized every year give face to a city that was to be considered faceless for decades. Incubate, the annual celebration of independent culture forms a platform for musical styles,movies, lectures and visual arts. In 2011, Luke Jerram's project "Play Me I'm Yours" caused a lot of amazing street-moments where everyone was invited to play one of the 101 pianos in the city streets. The Incubate Festival takes place in September.

Providence / Restaurant

Oberlin is one of the best examples of Providence's fantastic dining scene—expect a wide range of excellent lesser-known, sustainably caught local fish like tautog, butterfish and bluefish, as well as a wide range of other regionally-inspired dishes like fresh pasta, homemade sourdough, and roasted local veg. The place has a real neighborhood vibe that makes you want to stay for hours, which is definitely helped by the exceptional wine list and desserts (specifically: the Basque cheesecake).

Krakow / Cafe

Glodne kawalki reach for what is healthy, natural and seasonal. Breakfast is their speciality. They often squint to see a little different.

London / Cafe

I've only just discovered this fantastic little salad bar-come-florist right round corner from my studio. It serves freshly made salads that are not only delicious but cheap too! Either take away, or grab the one and only table and eat in.

Madrid / Bar

Secret cocktail bar set in a 17th century library. From the outside, it looks like an old charming bonsai shop. You can only access with reservation. To make the experience even more exclusive, visitors must enter a secret code in a small and discreet door.
