Kyoto / Art

Located inside the Gion Kobu Kaburenjo Theater, a well-known hub of traditional Japanese culture, the Forever Museum of Contemporary Art, Gion-Kyoto (FMOCA) is a place that moves all your senses. Walking barefoot on tatami (smelling really good) you are in the middle of a world where time both stops and rushes into the future. Old Japanese theatre (with the beautiful stage) and modern art - isn't it a dreamy combination? I was lucky enough to see Yayoi Kusama's amazing exhibition there that lasts till the end of February 2019 (be quick!). What is more, the museum has a lovely garden that you can contemplate either from the inside or from the outside, with a red umbrella. Ah, what a place!

London / Cemetery

My No.1 favourite graveyard in London. Calming, overgrown and a little bit spooky :)

London / Cafe

Great place to work and even better coffee. The roastery at the ground floor gives off a nice scent that fills the whole space. Sit near the bar at the kitchen area and look at all the delicious stuff the chefs whip up - and try their V60!

London / Restaurant

French Bistro style restaurant. Cozy atmosphere

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.

Colón / Area

Originally settled by Christopher Columbus, and officially founded because of the California Gold Rush, the city of Colon is surrounded by statues, street vendors, and container ships.

St. Gallen / Club

The Palace is a beautiful concert location in a former cinema. It still has the old charming red velvet seats and probably the best programme far and wide, reaching from younger artists like the Wild Beasts or Zomby to legends like Sage Francis or Lee Scratch Perry.

London / Park

The thing I love most about London is the juxtaposition of urban and rural, and nowhere is this better illustrated than in Lea Valley Park. A genuine wilderness where I’ve seen everything from ponies, to a rogue Costco outlet, and all less than 20 minutes from my front door.

Paris / Restaurant

After a long day exploring Paris, a huge plate of noodles is basically the dream. Le Chef Thai is small and cosy, although I think they have a downstairs too which we didn’t see. It’s really relaxed inside and filled with plants so there was a nice calming energy. The guy that served us was super-friendly and we all had an excellent feed for a reasonable price. Happy days.

New York / Art Centre

Best contemporary art museum in NY, have to take a train that goes along the Hudson river (best views during fall season!) / rent a car. This museum only uses natural light, and has pieces from Richard Serra, Judd, Sol Lewitt, Walter de Maria, Robert Smithson, Flavin, all best of the best!

Paris / Museum

London / Bookstore

I trust owner and director Tamsin Clark completely with what I could and should be reading.

London / Photographer

Daniel originally from Portsmouth moved to London just over 3 years ago. He works in a variety of mediums. His recent work consist of setting up structures for drawing that encourage chance to determine the form, this excludes him from making any aesthetic decision. By using this conceptual logic he creates a system in which a process is started, continued for an undetermined amount of time, then finally stopped by the rule that birthed it. This thinking is also expressed in his photography which depict the unintentionally created forms of various other processes.
