… watching ´my- so – called – life´ . the 90ties make us feel at home in a way.

so many flowered dresses and chequered shirts, great style in our humble opinion

and the dark voice of claire danes is schmoozing our

hearts just as much as jared leto does.

.

this was something we still wanted to show.

the first pages of the the catalogue of ´a  specter from the land of if ´

by outlandish photography. beautiful.

more of our visual hunger was satisfied at the opening of the exhibition ´internationale kunst aus der sammlung reininghaus, köln´at the ´collection falckenberg´in the south of hamburg.

we saw there more colours from wolfgang tillmans:

colours and structures by clay ketter

and an overkill of motion, screens ans images by jon kessler

.

is a platform for young photographers. current exhibition

´a specter from the land of if ´ just opened last week at the gallery of the antwerp  foto-museum.

in fact the show is less than half of the project. to understand the apparant randomly presented

works, you should have a look at the catalogue where each photographer presents a selection

of pictures from the huge archive of the  museum. Those images mark the startingpoint for

each of the contributers search of  a new subject.

mhh magic michèle matyns series of poster- sized polaroids:

funny, very him and a selfportret in disguise the work of frederik heyman:

contributing also:  sarah gerats, fien muller,  sarah van marcke, simon vansnick.

Here some images from katharina´s exhibition

Some more work of hers and hui-hui you can see at konk in

berlin mitte.

all images by matthias egil last

.

allways a little nostalgic to see the show of the royal antwerp academy.

and impressive and inspiring.

failed to take sharp pictures, so this is a blurry impression on what you should defintely have a look at:

the work of all these talented people.

of ria paquée.

last week we went to see her beautiful installation at exhibitionspace LLS387, lange leemstraat 387,antwerp.

mainly photowork but also film and 3D which form a well composed overview of

the artists recent work.

it seems to be all about colours but captured in daily life scenes in amongst others: india, france and  belgium,

telling also a lot about the impact of clothing for the vision of a  community.

it reminded us on one of our favourite books of inspiration:

(un)fashion, by tibor and maira kalman.

it is a little magic, depending on what project you are busy with,

you keep finding images you seem to haven´t seen before.
