Tokyo / Shop

I want to buy everything in store. Super cute place that stocks great things.

Historical building from Bogotá.

London / Museum

I spent a lot of time in the British Museum whilst studying for my Degree. My work has changed considerably since then but it is still a place I return to again and again. Inspiration doesn't always come from objects in the collection but also from the space and its visitors.

Amsterdam / Transport

    Almost every underground station in Amsterdam has a fascinating story behind it. My favourite one is metro station ‘Weesperplein,’ because it has a hidden station underneath the actual station that was meant for the 'Singellijn.' However, that line was never build and the second station remained useless. Besides that the hidden station was also equipped to serve as a shelter during the cold war. The large doors that were meant to hermetically close the building are still visible at both ends of the platform. Other small details, like the panels in the ceiling than can be used as tables when turned around, are also silent references to the building’s former use.  

Paris / Bar

Beautiful independant Cinema recently restaured hiding a rooftop bar. If you ask nicely you can access the bar without having to buy a ticket to movie and enjoy the view on one of the most dynamic avenues of the city. Mosaic lovers will enjoy.

Salento / Food Store

Be berated by old women, discuss the translation of 'Take That' and be told the only way to cook vegetables properly.

Los Angeles / Botanical Garden

Peacocks everywhere!

Tokyo / Library

Great place to get your work done, it's a library with nice interior space.

London / Architecture

SOAS university has a small gallery space dedicated to exhibitions about Asia, Africa and the Middle East. There's a small but beautiful Japanese zen garden on the rooftop (currently closed for refurbishment)

London / Shop

A station, a stop or two away from London sits a shop that is only open once or twice a year – its specialty are books but it also sells things.

Hong Kong / Shop

If you are looking for something special to treat yourself or make a memorable gift, this curated shop is for you. Carefully selected ceramics, money well spent indeed.

Hong Kong / Park

A pretty little garden with tiny pond full of colourful fish, small waterfall, pebbles for foot massage and elder go players.

Vancouver-based artist Howie Tsui's culturally divergent practice owes much to the shifting backdrop of his formative years spent in Hong Kong, Lagos and Thunder Bay.

Ancona / Visual Artist

I'm Angelo Iodice and I was born in Barletta, southern of Italy. I'm graduated in Chemistry and whole of my research has developed in these years under the mark of scientific intervention on a classical stratification. The study of archeology, the ancient pagan rituals, the attraction towards the indeterminate and the elusive holograms through physical chemical formulas are the basis of my reserche that once anagrammated produce unusual shapes and visions that enchant. Now I'm living in Ancona, Italy.
