broelschool

We've visited the abandoned Broelschool in Kortrijk yesterday, for the Biënnale transformed into an exhibition, bistro, hotel, bycicle atelier,.... 
I loved the colours in the building, the tiles, the coloured glass in the doors, what a pity this is going to be demolished.

anna kövecses

Isn’t this the cutest alphabet book!?
And it’s even sweeter when you find out that Hungarian-born, Cyprus based artist/illustrator, Anna Kövecses, made this for her four year old daughter, Rebeka. Here is Anna’s description:
“This book is the result of a very personal project aiming to introduce a little girl to the 44 letters of the Hungarian alphabet. Illustrations were carefully designed so that every subject that appears in this book is something she’s currently very much interested in. So in one way this book is not just a tool but also a diary documenting a four-year-old little girl’s world in the summer of 2013 on an island in the Mediterranean Sea…”

the brown sisters

In summer 1975, Nicholas Nixon asked his wife and her three sisters if he could take their picture. After he saw the image, he asked them if they might do it every year. The series will be on view at the NY Museum of Modern Art, together with the publication of the book "The Brown sisters: Forty Years" in November.
You can see the pictures already here

If you’re interested, many of these are available as prints over in the My Modern Shop
