Art you can touch

DUNE, Daan Roosegaarde (2013)

The Rolling Kitchens is from 9 to 12 May 2013, open from 13:00 to 23:00. It sets place in the Westerpark in Amsterdam and everybody is welcome. So check it out!

Merci is a store in the heart of the historic district of Haut-Marais. The founders created a place that brings together the best of the world of fashion, of design, of household goods with delicious welcome bites to eat. It’s located in a majestic loft where you can browse from room to room like in a real house.The store has three cafés; The Used Book Café, The Cinema Café and The Merci Canteen, where you can eat lunch while you read a book, or watch a movie during a delicious cup of coffee.

Merci actually functions as a very stylish charity shop: all the proceeds of the shop are invested in educational projects in Madagascar. Since the end of 2012, more than 900 children have benefitted from the pleasure of enjoying a well-balanced daily meal. The goal is to integrate education into the micro-region of southwest Madagascar and to make the school a solid and stable institution.

The online-merci-store is open since yesterday. Happily we now all can shop at this amazing concept store!

The opening is extra special because it is one of the last official duties of the Dutch queen before she abdicates. Beatrix has a huge interest for art; therefor this is the perfect job for her to do.

The entire presentation of the Rijksmuseum’s world-famous collection is new, except for Rembrandt’s masterpiece The Night Watch, which has been returned to its original position. For the very first time, visitors will be taken on a chronological journey through the collection in 80 galleries, where 8,000 objects tell the story of 800 years of Dutch art and history.

There is made a documentary about the fascinating and complicated process of rebuilding Holland’s most famous museum. See here the preview.

Currently the performance piece is on display in the Museum Of Modern Art in New York. It was a surprise for the visitors because she showed up at the museum unannounced. Still it is a surprise if you’ll catch her when you visit the museum, because nobody knows when she will be in her box.

Tilda Swinton who was born on 5 November 1960, is a British actress known for arthouse and mainstream films. She has appeared in a number of films including Burn After Reading, The Beach, The Chronicles of Narnia, and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her performances in The Deep End and We Need to Talk About Kevin. She won the 2007 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Michael Clayton.

The first edition was themed around “rebirth”. The theme was inspired by the birth of Roitfeld’s first grandchild during the production process of the magazine. It even included a picture of Kate Upton holding chicks on the cover.“When I started to work on this issue … I was obsessed with pregnancy, with babies, with new life coming. It’s become an obsession,” she said.

Now, she’s back with her second issue, which is inspired by ballet. For the past year Roitifeld has been taken private dance lessons. These lessons changed her body and mind and served as the inspiration for the issue. “I’m obsessed with the body of the ballet dancer, obsessed with the music and obsessed with the Russian tradition in ballet,” she said in an interview. The new issue contains an interview with dancer Kiara Kabukuru authored by Gisele Bundchen, the first editorial shoot of Rick Owens and a Scotland shoot by Karl Lagerfeld. In short, a lot of great fashion shoots and stories!
