a visual collective outlet of inspiration
worth checking out the Sugimoto show at Gagosian. nothing new but still one of the best, some of the night shots are almost 100% black but you still want them so bad that you feel possessed…
the book, printed for the show, is great too. the design reflect the setting of the gallery, well done! by pp

Hiroshi Sugimoto at gagosian gallery
“Naming things has something to do with human awareness, with the separation of the entire world from you. So with the Seascapes, I was thinking about the most ancient of human impressions. The time when man first named the world around him…”
–Hiroshi Sugimoto

Zaha Hadid Chanel Pavilion in Central Park
Not sure what was more stunning on that crisp Friday the Zaha Hadid modular space ship Pavillion for Chanel or the Autumn leaves in Central Park NYC? Given that the tickets were sold out at 8:15 (damn those early-bird fashion victims) and I can’t get out of bed before 10:00 on such day off, I will have to say the the winner was hands down the Autumn leaves. Of course a retched camera can never capture the beauty of those colors the way they were in that sunlight but it will have to do for now. The lunch at the boat house was the natural alternative at that point and once again it did not fail me. A very civilized way to dine on a day like that.
