Athens / Other

Zappeion Hall, also known as the Zappeion Megaron, is a neoclassical building located in the heart of Athens, Greece. It was built in the late 19th century and is named after the Zappas brothers, who were wealthy Greek philanthropists. The Zappeion Hall was designed by Danish architect Theophil Hansen and was originally built to host events for the revival of the Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. It was the first building in Greece to be constructed specifically for this purpose. The building features a large central hall, surrounded by several smaller rooms and courtyards. It has a distinctive neoclassical design, with columns and ornate detailing inspired by ancient Greek architecture. Over the years, the Zappeion Hall has been used for a wide range of events, including exhibitions, conferences, and cultural events. It has also been used as a filming location for several movies and television shows. Today, the Zappeion Hall is a popular tourist attraction and an important cultural landmark in Athens. Visitors can explore the building and its grounds, attend events and exhibitions, or simply enjoy the beautiful neoclassical architecture and gardens.

New York / Painter

Aesther Chang is a fine artist based in NYC. She is known for her nuanced and subtle abstract paintings. Her works experiment with textures and colors, and the play between linear and ethereal elements. Moments of free improvisation call for a turn toward meditation. What she seeks through the process is harmony, or in her own words “oneness between self and matter”. Chang’s works directly invite the viewer to realize a deeper dimension within one’s very own being- a transcendental realm beyond the body and mind. To unlock this realm, one must go inward.

Amsterdam / Photographer

Simon Wald-Lasowski (Paris, 1980) is a freelance photographer and art director. He makes colorful, fun, twisted work by use of bricolage, word play and 'cliché bending'. Lighthearted at first sight, his images often reveal a certain depth on second inspection. His approach is always very personal, which blur the boundaries between autonomous and commissioned work. He lives in Amsterdam and graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2004 as a graphic designer. Occasionally he also works as a Wedding MC.
