The mobile kind of roof terrace

Lise Uduak — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 09:49:00 +0000

Do not despair if you long for spending sunny days on the roof when there’s not an actual terrace on the top of your building.

Lithuanian design graduate Ainė Bunikytė came up with an idea that makes it possible to breakfast with a view, terrace or not.

Only thing she would have to clear (at least for people in Berlin) is how make the sun show up.

Thought it was time with a break from instagrammed pictures and add some real color to life.

Berlin on a watercolour canvas

Lise Uduak — Tue, 19 Jun 2012 16:39:07 +0000

I used to paint and sketch a lot while still in high school and though it’s been less and less in the last 10 years I was happy to hear from Mira O’Brien who told me about her watercolour workshop at the Berlin Drawing Room.

The Summer Watercolor Workshop the Berlin Landscape (June 28 – July 15) is about the landscape of Berlin as a subject for practising the subtle medium of watercolour; layering color and value, dry and wet brushstrokes, sketching with watercolor, and experimentation with new materials.

It will be on Sundays, at changing outdoor locations and in addition, the class will meet in the Berlin Drawing Room studio to focus on technique.

No experience required!

An artistic outcast.

I have this habit of making notes on my iPhone when out and about. It be phrases, events or names of people. Which can be quite interesting because often a couple of months pass until I read these notes again and then I have no clue in which situation I made the note.

This is the case of “Bernard Buffet”. I don’t know where or when I stumpled upon this name but when I googled it just now I discovered it was a French artist. And (again) I like his work! And he has an interesting history too. The Independent published this article about his relationship with Picasso.

Might be worth checking out Museum of Indian Art displaying art made by native Americans.

And totally out of context but google “Indian music” and this popped up.

A soft cover. Compressed.

Lise Uduak — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 11:13:09 +0000

With bidding starting at €8.000 this 2×2,5 m quilted piece by Katrin Rodegast is out of my league.
But many other interesting works are being auctioned at the “Compressed” auction at .HBC on March 8 by the Neonchocolate Gallery.

More information here.

What’s in your fridge?

Lise Uduak — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 13:04:18 +0000

If Christmas wasn’t so far away I would have wished for “Where they create” by photographer Paul Barbera.

Photos and descriptions of the spaces where creative minds create. Interviews included. Not only how their daily environment influences their output, but also what’s on their desk and even what’s in their fridge.

So here’s to a Januray present for myself.

Temples of Love

Lise Uduak — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 13:11:42 +0000

These highly inspiring temples are located in Madhya Pradesh, India approximately 650 km from New Delhi. A UNESCO world heritage site and apparently of the most visited Indian tourist attractions. Wonder why?

Originally there were 85 temples but only 20 remain well preserved 1000 years after the “erection” which begun in the mid-9th century and went on for 250 years. I wonder if the workers had a hard time focusing?

Khajuraho: One-on-one, orgies, up-side down, animals – all fantasies and/or experiences are openly portraied. Wunderbar!
