A logo I designed for a contemporary gallery project: julius neu. I still like the ligature.

Bold white text “julius neu” on black background, stacked in lowercase sans-serif, evoking modernity and restraint.

Bandcamp listening parties feel like a quiet revolution in how we experience music. Instead of a lone headphone session, it’s shared focus—everyone hits play together, chatting, reacting, hearing stories from the artist.

My daughter spent 24 hours alone in the woods — just the basics, a hole she dug to mirror our harm to the planet. A quiet act of giving back what we’ve taken. Watch here:

Does anyone know who produced or designed this coffee maker?

It feels like a relic from a future that took design seriously: weight, rhythm, air. Not just for brewing, but for thinking.

Louise Bourgeois, I had a flashback of something that never existed.
A reflection on memory’s instability — language and textile woven into the architecture of emotion.
On view at the Hamburger Kunsthalle.

A framed textile artwork displayed on a light grey wall. The beige linen fabric bears red serif text reading “I had a flashback of something that never existed.”

A quiet kitchen moment from another time — the kind of scene that reminds me why I love everyday photography. Simple, still, and real.

Ich auch nicht. Er hat eine sehr eigene Sprache. Leider ist die Kunsthalle ein katastrophales Gebäude. Wenn du aber in Hamburg bist, solltest du sie dir unbedingt ansehen!

I realy love this.

A painting by Edi Hila showing an unfinished, skeletal building with faded pink and gray tones, surrounded by a low wall under a pale, cloudy sky. The structure appears abandoned and exposed, evoking themes of transition, decay, and halted progress.

Edi Hila’s paintings at Hamburger Kunsthalle (with Thea Djordjadze) explore what lingers after collapse — muted colors, minimal lines, quiet structures that feel both political and personal.

Billionaire collector Thomas Kaplan plans to take Rembrandt public. His “Project Minerva” would fractionalize the Leiden Collection into tradable shares—possibly under “Rembitcoin.”

Project Minerva: Rembrandt IPO with Rembit / Rembitcoin

Thomas S. Kaplan moves to fractionalise the Leiden Collection. Project Minerva would take Rembrandt public—think shares, tickers, and a crowdsurge around Old Masters.

Ich hätte da so eine völlig verrückte Idee, wie man den Aufstieg extrem rechter Parteien stoppen könnte: Wie wäre es, wenn man mal Politik macht, die für die unteren ca. 90% der Bevölkerung eine spürbare Verbesserung bringt? Dass diese Forderung naiv und weltfremd klingt, ist halt Teil des Problems.

Bandcamp Friday feels like planting seeds: six albums today, each carrying its own world. From 75 Dollar Bill’s raw pulse to Jon Collin’s drifting landscapes to Hana Stretton’s fragile sketches — all reminders that music reshapes time.

#bandcampfriday #experimental #ambient #folk #undergroundmusic

Grid of six Bandcamp album covers. Top left: repeating WWW text in black on orange with “Power Failures” by 75 Dollar Bill. Top middle: cream and black flyer-like cover with text for “Southeaster b/w” by 75 Dollar Bill. Top right: grainy photograph of waves with text “Water & Rock Music Volume 1” by Jon Collin. Bottom left: abstract green-toned photo series of sea and horizon for “Water & Rock Music Volume 2” by Jon Collin. Bottom middle: loose line drawing of two figures in embrace for “The Thrill of Love” by Hana Stretton. Bottom right: minimal white cover with sketch of a patterned dress for “Wail” by Hana Stretton.

75 Dollar Bill’s Power Failures feels like electricity flickering in a dark room—half rehearsal tape, half ritual. It’s a reminder that imperfection can spark something more alive than polish ever could.

Sound as landscape—Jon Collin’s Water & Rock Music Volume 2 moves like weather across stone, sometimes still, sometimes unsteady. It asks you to listen the way you’d watch waves change a shoreline.
