The solitary life of cranes… Now here’s a title I wouldn’t have come up with, not in a million years. But it’s true, the average crane must live a lonely life indeed. When I first started dreaming about a city of cranes, I saw cranes walking around, going for shopping, having a pint of lager [...]

As Persepolis 2.0 is getting quite some attention in the international press lately, it feels only right to dig up the brilliant animated film of the original story by Marjane Sartrapi, in its entirety: imdb: “This is a heartbreaking true story of a childhood coinciding with regime change and war in Iran. It’s a story [...]

The previous post about nature reclaiming the city of Detroit seems to have sparkled a little buzz about the topic. So I decided to dig a little deeper into the work of SweetJuniper, the photographer who took these beloved pictures. This next set of photos is even more mind stumbling. Maybe not at first sight, [...]

Things are not going well in Iran. How is that for an opening line to a political situation? Politics are one of the things I avoid writing about, especially international politics. Belgium has it’s extremely particular and complex politics but Iran, that’s a whole different ballgame. Perhaps the best introduction to the Iranian situation is [...]

Detroit, the place formerly known as the U.S. 4th biggest city has been in a constant decay for decades now. Dozens of articles and analyses have been made already, but this series of photos is the first I see which illustrates what you might have seen in the ‘Detroit Wildlife‘ documentary, nature is taking over [...]

Notorious crate-diggers Iron and Eon Green present their brand-new mixtape: ‘Adventures in the land of music’. One wicked masterpiece of a mix, with over seventy original funk and soul cuts, blended together like I haven’t heard since listening to those early Rob Swift tapes almost ten years ago. Seriously, get your hands on a copy [...]

It will be hard to make a documentary more appealing to my personal situation than this one… “More than 70,000 advertising professionals have lost their jobs in this Great Recession. Lemonade is about what happens when people who were once paid to be creative in advertising are forced to be creative with their own lives.” [...]

While we’re still waiting for those electric cars they’ve been promising us for years now, some people take it to action and decide to build their own ways of green transport. By constructing a camper on a bike, for instance. It looks a bit like a turtle, doesn’t it? No pictures of the inside have [...]

I remember watching this film telling the history and influence of blaxploitation cinema back in the 1970′s thinking: ‘They don’t make em like that anymore.’ Well guess what, they do! Hitting theatres this autumn: ‘Black Dynamite’, a film made in true blaxploitation tradition. ‘He’s supercool and he knows kung-fu’: imdb: “the story of 1970s African-American [...]

Enough tears have been shed about Polaroid’s decision to end production, yet the community continues to fight back. If only for the sake of conserving the legacy that is. Renowned for his abstract polaroid pictures, Grant Hamilton decided to make a documentary about the last year of Polaroid. And for some strange reason, this looks [...]

Every now and then I find myself wondering about what Sozyone Gonzalez would be doing at the moment. Brussels’ finest graffiti artist, and artist in general, in my humble opinion, is currently residing in Spain. And still doing big things. After repainting Brussels’ Ursulines skatepark and after last months exhibition in NewYork alongside Banksy, JonOne, [...]

I’m still a sucker for these typographic video animations, especially the funny ones, of course. In comes the Psychatric Answering Machine:’Hello, and welcome to the Mental Health Hotline.” (thanks Ineke)

Doug Pray is back. After making kiler documentaries such as Scratch, Infamy, Surfwise and Hype! the filmmaker aimed his cameras at the marketing world and serves us ‘Art&Copy‘ a film about the people and the machine behind some of the world’s biggest advertising campaigns. via 808: “For some they are today’s greatest artists, to others [...]

Well over a year ago I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Dave Kinsey while he was in Brussels for his “You Are Here” exhibit at A.L.I.C.E. Gallery. The following interview comes straight out of the on-point tv archives where it had been burried until I casted a cry for help in the editing [...]

After a year of not touching any paint or coffee or ecoline or putting any other substance on paper or canvas, I decided to join a little group exhibit when the fine people of Bar Jeudi asked me to, only weeks ago. Coming back from NYC there wasn’t a lot of time left to prepare [...]
