The Travel Almanac #1: David Lynch

Issue 1 (Spring/Summer 2011) of The Travel Almanac explores the topics of traveling and temporary habitation from the personal perspectives of innovative figures in the fashion, music, art, and film worlds. Addressing an increasingly mobilized creative community, it is the first publication of its kind to speak to this sophisticated generation of travelers. The plurality of this community inspires the magazine to focus on individual’s personal experiences and the effects of travel on their lives and work.

The first issue features original interviews and conversations with director, David Lynch; Javier Peres, Los Angeles/Berlin-based gallerist, curator, and owner of Peres Projects; Andy McCluskey, lead signer of the legendary 80’s band Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark; James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem; art-star Terence Koh, as well as many other cultural icons and innovators. The issue also contains a feature on Japanese Ryokans (ultra-traditional countryside hotels), as well as personal travel stories, and reviews of the most exceptional and interesting hotels worldwide.

I Saettatori – Francesco Barocco – Mousse Publishing

Posted in Exhibition catalogue on May 16th, 2011

I Saettatori – Francesco Barocco – Mousse Publishing

I Saettatori is a dual-language (Italian / English) catalogue from Mousse Publishing with texts by Marcello Smarrelli and Francesco Barocco.

The introduction begins: “A minor enigma ruffles the classical composure of the work created by Francesco Barocco, winner of the 12th Ermanno Casoli Contemporary Art Award. The themes that emerged during the creation of this work are typical of his research and are the same themes that have long animated art history debates: the role of the artist, the function of art, its meaning, the genesis of artwork, its relationship with the observer.”
