Highlights from the Fall 2023 Ready-to-Wear Collections
A selection of my favourite creations from the Fall 2023 ready-to-wear collections.
Kimono at the Musée du Quai Branly
A wonderful and colourful exhibition at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris celebrates the kimono in all its glory. The exhibition doubles as an exhibition of Japanese art and design and includes some amazing woodblock prints.
Everything Everywhere All At Once
I loved "Everything Everywhere All At Once". It is a visual treat and a celebration of everything life throws at us: family, friends, dreams, disillusions, rejection, break-ups and taxes.
Musée de Cluny
In 2022 the Musée de Cluny in Paris, also known as the National Museum of the Middle Ages, reopened after a decade-long renovation project. The result is pretty amazing. The architecture alone is worth a visit.
Further Reading
Diffusion models. The decline in disruptive science. Gamifying behavioural experiments. Combining reinforcement learning and LLM. Unlucky numbers. Matisse. Theaster Gates. Hans Belting. And more.
Centre Pompidou
By coincidence I have visited the Centre Pompidou three times in the past year and I realized once again what an amazing museum it is.
Christian Marclay at the Centre Pompidou
There is much to enjoy at the Christian Marclay retrospective at the Centre Pompidou. With his pop culture mash-ups he deserves to be wider known.
Marcel Proust. La fabrique de l’oeuvre
The exhibition "Marcel Proust. La fabrique de l'oeuvre" at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France is a treasure trove for Proust fans and literature lovers.
The 80s. Fashion, Design and Graphic Design in France
For a flashback to the 80s this exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris is not to be missed.
Boris Mikhailov: Ukrainian Diary
Boris Mikhailov: Ukrainian Diary is the biggest retrospective of Mikhailov's work to date and includes some 800 photographs, ranging from experimental and conceptual work to documentary photography.
The Best Books of 2022
The best fiction, best general non-fiction, best biography, philosophy and history books, best graphic novels, the best art and photography books and the most disappointing books that I read this past year.
