Berlin / Cafe

A cute Swedish style breakfast/ cafe place owned by really nice friends, they have a cinnamon bun to coo over, its so sweet and yummy :)

Barcelona / Cafe

Hidden pearl in the middle of Raval with a local feeling to it. Calm and cosy but with a lot of personality.

Copenhagen / Bar

Nice place in summer for drinks and food. Close to the water as I prefer it. Music and nice dancing if the company is right.

Yarra Glen / Art

Tarrawarra is a day trip from the city that everyone must make at least once. A private collection of Australian art made public in an incredible piece of contemporary architecture. Situated on the most bucolic and picturesque piece of countryside you can imagine. Now has a new restaurant and cellar door, so you can buy a bottle of wine and sit overlooking the lake. It's pretty perfect.

San Francisco / Shop

#1 in the city for old book smell and creaky wooden floors. Too small to find anything specific you’re looking for, good enough that you’ll find something else instead.

Trogir / Village

If you go sailing in Croatia, you usually start from a large port next to the old city of Trogir, but most people forget to take time to explore this small town. I can strongly recommend spending a day in the city and stroll around the narrow alleys and eat delicious sea food and ice cream. Trogir is a harbour city that must not be missed while being in this area of Croatia!

Beijing / Shop

My go-to place when I need a break from Beijing. CAFA is, surprisingly, not known by many, which makes it even more perfect. It is the only art institution of higher learning operated by the Ministry of Education and was founded in April 1950 when the National Beijing Art College and the Fine Arts Department of Huabei University were transformed into a single institution. The School of Design holds graduate exhibitions every year, which are well worth a visit, and also houses AIGA China. Equipped with an art museum (designed by Japanese architect, Arata Isozaki) as well as art supplies and book stores.

London / Museum

The Design Museum is a museum in Kensington, next to Holland Park, which covers product, industrial, graphic, fashion and architectural design. There is also a nice cafe on the 1st floor with beautiful views of the park.

Paris / Attraction

At nightfall, you get a stunning view at the Eiffel Tower and the bridge Alexandre III.

Prague / Restaurant

Czech restaurant, food and beer. If you really want to see city skyline and Prague castle come to here and enjoy lunch on terrace when the weather is nice. They share garden with National Gallery Prague so it’s children friendly aswell.

Berlin / Other

The typical Berlin winter is biting cold and grey. In combination with the hardness of the city and the angry natives, it feels like a hostile area. Why it's worth experiencing it? Because that's the way this city is.

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.

London / Visual Artist

I'm an artist/ photographer based in London and Mumbai. I'm Interested in history, current affairs and cultural identity. I'm inspired by my immediate surroundings. I travel a lot and always make work in the places I visit. I often turn my attention towards architecture in order to examine the identity of the places I visit. I work intuitively in a documentary manner as it allows me more in depth involvement with my subject. I only use film/analogue processes, mainly mediaum and large formats. These are preferred as they are more precise and slower and aenable me to take time over the composition, to produce a more thoughtful and deliberate image, as compared with the snapshot/hit and run type of photography.

Filmmaker from NYC

New York / Visual Artist

Bosco Sodi is known for his richly textured, vividly colored large-scale paintings. Sodi has discovered an emotive power within the essential crudeness of the materials that he uses to execute his paintings. Focusing on material exploration, the creative gesture, and the spiritual connection between the artist and his work, Sodi seeks to transcend conceptual barriers. Sodi leaves many of his paintings untitled, with the intention of removing any predisposition or connection beyond the work’s immediate existence. The work itself becomes a memory and a relic symbolic of the artist’s conversation with the raw material that brought the painting into creation. Sodi’s influences range from l’art informel, looking to artists such as Antoni Tàpies and Jean Dubuffet, to master colorists such as Willem de Kooning, Mark Rothko, and the bright hues of his native heritage.
