/>Silencio: After a kind of dramatic year on all sides, I first
of all have to say that I’m about to burst of happiness that my dad after a long
time now is well, back home and about to move on after a lot of shit happening.
On the art side I have to give props to Andrea and the other guys for a graff
project they have got on it’s feet, that I and a bunch of other lazy suckers
have been participating in. They’ve gotten together a shitload of painting and
canvases, and invited different graff and street artist to join. Over a few
months have we gotten together and painted our hearts out. Now it seems that a
100 (!) of the best ones are going to get exhibited in a bigass show here in
Cph, I’ll get back with further info later, but they deserve love for good and
hard work, without any money in it for them. Big up!

the Session the Bowl opening at the Deitch space on Wooster. If theres
an afterlife - that was my interpretation of it - amazing art from almost
everyone you’d want to see, good music, tons of friends, and of course, the

artists all over the world (banksy, swoon, itchie, erosie, otis, birds, os
gemeos….), that we really cannot answer this question!

I’d say Jeff Soto. Lately I’ve really
been digging his work.

out there, people are getting crazy, but in particular a gotta show respect to
Freaks Gallery (Cph), for constantly pushing limits. Amazing dude.
