Almost forgot about these ladies...

TL°9: John Pawson

The interview took place in his 'Plain Space' installation at the Design Museum and enabled me to connect the dots between the man and the stunning architecture... grand in its simplicity!

Best of 2010

A little later than usual, but I couldn't let a new decade start without an overview of some milestones in music and film.

In my opinion it was a great year in music, making for some sweet 2010 memories: braving the winter cold with Groove Armada and Marina and the Diamonds on the iPod, riding my bike past the canals in summer to the sounds of The Drums and Robyn, mellow music like James Vincent McMorrow and Husky Rescue for autumn... music never fails to add to the experience of a season!

Film was a bit of a different story. I guess I've never had a year I was this invested in film. Dealing with it on a daily basis for work makes it a different experience than sitting in the cinema being swept away by imagery and storyline. After a while I was unconsciously looking for PR angles in movies I wasn't even working on. Nevertheless, I did have my spare time favourites: no superhero flick in recent times was so refreshing as Kick-Ass, no documentary-style films so unsettling as Catfish and Enter the Void, my love affair with Sophia Coppola continued, Komt een Vrouw bij de Dokter pulled heart strings I didn't remember having, and how sweet were Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me?
