Did you know..

..there's more then 1000 way's to knot a Hermés scarf? Neither did I, I mean, who could imagine.. But during an event a few weeks ago, while sipping champagne and nibbling canapés with the rich and beautiful (who buy Hermés scarfs) at NK I got thought a few tricks in this forgotten art. Though I will stick to my favorite scarfs from C Neeon and Ivana Helsinki maybe it's time to get jiggy with it.. or at least it gives you something to do during a grey, dull thursday..

Very Important Clothes

This little store in Gamla Stan has the best little window display, in an old surrealist tradition. The owner decorates with stuffed animals and strange, bizarre finds. (and click on the mannequin pic for a close up, those glasses rules) You gotta love it.

Theo Jensen

Bon Magazine invited Theo Jensen to have a lecture about his great project Strand Beest last night. His creatures are truly amazing and it was great to hear him speak and explain them.

The One Ton Show

If you don't have anything to do next weekend (5th-7th Dec) and happen to live or visiting London you can pop by The One Ton Show at Shoreditch Town Hall where 100 artists, illustrators, graphic designers and photographers will have a group show. You never now what you'll find! Work shown above: lovely Sasha Rozario, Phil Seffield and Ajax the Holy Nun.

Red and Bourdin

all pics by Guy Bourdin, my all time favorite..

Noguchi & Graham

My dear little friend Sasha gave me the lovely book "Selected Works for Dance," about the works of Isamu Noguchi and Martha Graham. Their Scenography is so inspiring and profound.. so human and beautiful! and i wouldn't say no to the coffee table either..

Lisa

An old friend from art school, Lisa Stålspets, is showing paintings and videos at Soya konstrum.
Lisa works with scenography and storytelling, which develops and transforms (into, for example, paintings) during the process..

Keiko

I met Keiko Kurita, who is a photographer, a while back in London but she is now based in Tokyo. Here is some new work of hers, called Tree/Sleep. I really like the contrasts, pale grey and blue against greens and browns..

London

Made a quick visit to London, which was showing off with extreme warm and sunny weather. The great gallery The Riflemaker on Beak street in Soho had two great exhibitions on: Juan Fontanive and Liliane Lijn. Juan Fontanive showing Tin Tan, which is amazing "dancing" maschines, beautiful made and very poetic. Liane Lijn project Stardust includes film projections on Aerogel, a NASA invention. Magical. My little mobile phone could not make any of these exhibitions justice so if you can pay a visit! (you can also view a better movie of Tin Tan here..)

Oh, the background music is St.Vincent..
