London / River

This is the place where ghost pirates roam in times forgotten. Where great poems were once written. Everything has happened here. A few abandoned boats and much stillness. And an island in the middle. Most curious. Not much choice but to explore as far as your nerves will take you. Watch out for Zorro the dog.

Los Angeles / Restaurant

Perfect for a fast lunch.

Milan / Shop

Best designer clothing store in Milan (in my humble opinion!).

Mumbai / Restaurant

Homely restaurant specializing in veggie & meat dishes from North India, from tandoori to tikka. Real indian food, I mean r e a l .

Huntington Beach / Food Store

This place offers a vegan ramen and stays open late.

Nagoya / Restaurant

The Takohachi restaurant serves local Nagoya food ‘miso-kushikatsu dinner' (fried pork on skewers with miso souce). Takohachi has been functioning 60 years as a restaurant. Most of its customers are born and raised in this neighbourhood, so you'll see a child, his parents and his grand parents enjoy a meal together. Takohachi is located in front of the Nittai temple where Shaka’s bone is enshrined. Beware, Friday and Saturday nights are closed. 2 mins on foot from Kakuouzan metro station.

Moscow / Cafe

Enjoy gourmet cuisine surrounded by contemporary art in Garage Café, the perfect place to unwind after visiting an exhibition or taking a stroll in Gorky Park. The Café’s relaxed atmosphere is the perfect place for doing work or meeting with friends, while dining on innovative dishes. The menu is updated each season and offers an array of delicious, fresh food, including a large selection of desserts and a kids’ menu, as well as specialty coffees and teas.

New York / Cinema

Spectacle is a collectively-run screening space in Brooklyn, NY, established and staffed by hard-working, cinema-loving volunteers. Our programming runs seven days a week and includes overlooked works, offbeat gems, contemporary art, radical polemics, live performance, and more.

Amsterdam / Place

A few years ago I had a conversation with a staff member from Uytenhaak Architects about concealed texts in Amsterdam, relating to my own work ‘stoned forever’, which is integrated in brickwork in the Olympic Quarter. He said that there is a text in Morse code incorporated into the Droogbak (1989), a residential building by Uytenhaak: ‘Deze muur staat er niet’ (‘This wall isn’t here’). It is located close to the railway line. Rudy Uytenhaak later told me that this was his last opportunity to protest against the acoustic fence that had to be constructed for bureaucratic reasons.

Chicago / Restaurant

Ongoing favorite place to sit at the bar or more covertly, at a table, chatting with a friend over the seasonal best. Continuous rotation of ingredients creatively meshed with tradition, their food is divine. Similarly, their personnel is familiar, friendly, fashionable and warm.

Hong Kong / Park

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

New York / Place

I took this image looking straight up at the barrel-vaulted ceiling which is decorated with constellations. The more prominent stars are lit up by LEDs. This space is one of the most magical in the city. According to legend, the sky was intentionally inverted to show how it would appear from God’s point of view from beyond the celestial sphere.

Copenhagen / Artist

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.

'Matthew's classwork has been of an excellent standard this term, reaching Level 2 in both Reading and Maths, and yet his progress is being hindered by his constant chatter with those around him. Having started the year extremely positively, he has become increasingly less focused on his work and more and more preoccupied with playtime.'
