Moscow / Area

Strogino is a remote residential neibourhood on the northwest end of Moscow, famous for its greenery, water space and barbecue. My good friends, photographers Anastasia Tsayder and Petr Antonov live here. The picture was taken from their balcony. Their place is known as 'photohostel' as many visiting photographers stay with them when they stop over in Moscow.

New York / Place

An hour away from NYC, there lies a summer camp on a pristine lake which was abandoned 15 years ago. I cant tell you where this is, but some research can lead you to the right place.

New York / Park

I have old friends in San Francisco who grudgingly tell me that the High Line is everything that's wrong with New York. Well, too bad. To me, it embodies a culture that's constantly reinventing itself: a defunct elevated railway that was becoming a burden to the city ("we used to climb up there to throw garbage bags full of rotting Korean food at the Hasids!", noted a successful photographer's assistant) becoming a startling example of urban greening for the public good. The expert landscaping makes it feel like walking on a Montauk beach - but a stone's throw from some of New York's most progressive galleries and hotels.

Brno / Art

Fait Gallery is a young gallery institution and its start was initiated by the Brno native businessman Igor Fait, who also sponsors the programme. Besides systematically building a wide-ranging and high-quality exhibition programme, the Fait Gallery‘s aim is to initiate the development of contemporary art and it extends its spectrum of interest beyond the Czech and Central European context. Apart from the above the gallery also supports private art collecting and consolidation of the collectors in the city with a large art collecting tradition. Through cooperation with foreign galleries, the Fait Gallery supports Czech artists with possibilities to expand abroad and on the other hand with the realisation of the exhibitions of foreign authors, it brings their work not only to the Brno based audience. The photography presents an exhibition view from "Exercises of listening" show by Jacek and Ewa Doroszenko.

Amsterdam / Bakery

This place has, beside the excellent pastry, the best shrimp croquettes in town.

Barcelona / Botanical Garden

it is a cactus garden!

Barcelona / Museum

Can Framis was just another Poblenou factory at the end of the 18th century. In 2009 it was converted into a museum of contemporary painting, thanks to the Fundació Vila Casas

New York / Park

Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead (of Central Park), Prospect Park is where I go running in better weather and find an endless supply of flotsam and jetsam for casting in projects all year round. Thickets of trees, hidden paths, and rolling hills are an endless source of inspiration.

Nuremberg / Other

The observatory is a fascinating place and offers very inspiring impressions. The building dates back to 1931 and it’s a special experience being there. Kind people with astronomical expertise explain the night sky and different astronomical phenomena. The visitors can look through the telescope and watch the universe. On certain dates they also offer the possibility to take pictures of the moon with a reflex camera.

Groningen / Museum

Based in the water is the biggest eyecatcher when you visit Groningen. Again, a great architectural building, but this one has a-symmetrical shapes. The Groninger Museum is not only a museum but also a restaurant and an innovative info centre.

New York / Restaurant

A now-iconic Chinatown eatery with a mouthwatering menu of health-conscious eats.

New York / Restaurant

Paris / Art Director

A French and American dual-citizen, Margaux is definitely Parisian, but shares a bit of her heart with the Big Apple as well. She’s a songwriter, a singer, a musician, a photographer and a muse. Much more than your average clothes-horse, she’s the kind of girl all photographers and designers want to work with. Her simple yet elegant taste does not betray fanciful creativity of her aristocratic heritage. After the 2013 release of her French album with Capitol Records, she’s coming back refreshed with the ability to collaborate with the people she loves without any restriction to express herself freely. www.margauxavrilphotography.com

New York / Artist

Kent Rogowski is an artist/photographer living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Kent’s works are often provocative and whimsical manipulations of objects and images that surround us in our daily lives. From teddy bears to jigsaw puzzles and self-help books, he uses and alters mass-produced consumer products as a vehicle for self-expression. By transforming the generic into something personal, Kent questions what these products communicate, and also what role they play in our culture. His first monograph, Bears, was published by powerHouse books in 2007. He has shown his work both nationally and internationally with solo shows in New York at the Jen Bekman Gallery and the Foley Gallery and the In Focus Gallery in Cologne, Germany. In 2000, Kent received his MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he is now a Senior Critic. He has also taught at The Pratt Institute and The School of Visual Arts in New York.
