Cool Hunting
Head down the alley next to Nort Berlin and you'll find a courtyard that's home to 95 Gallery, a shop and exhibition space that opened just two and a half months ago. Named for the year Nort was first established, the new venue is a collaboration between Nort's owners and Marok, artist and the founding editor of Lodown, who's long wanted a gallery space. The inaugaral show featured Marok's work and currently features the "2nd chapter" (it opened in London first) of Origin of the Species, a series of photos by Nick Walker detailing the layers of paint that build up into psychedelic patterns on spraycan tips (images after the jump). Look out for upcoming shows by 12oz Prophets and WK interact.
On the retail side, 95 stands out for being one of the few Berlin stores that caters to street and skate culture, carrying Nike SB, Supreme (an exclusive in Berlin), and a few of Marok's original designs. After the jump, check out his shirt that translated reads "German American Friendship," referencing the irony of a German anti-American industrial band of the same name.

by Kelsey KeithPlaying on the idea of pixelation, the rooms and suites of the new Pixel Hotel in Linz, Austria, are scattered across the metropolitan area, blurring the definition of the classic hotel. Young and promising local architects were given a brief to convert various spaces—a garage, a workshop, and even a ship—into six hotel rooms. The results range from an architecturally-fitted interior connected to...
Writers from the FTW-Crew (Mr. Tailon, Baveux Prod., Kone and Epoxy) were recently spotted altering posters of Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, and Christina Aguilera in the Berlin metro. In a clever form of adbusting, they superimposed the Photoshop steps it takes to make the ladies look so picture perfect, both a lesson in design and a gentle reminder of our urban airbrushed landscape....
For their premiere show, the new Bongoût Gallery in Berlin presents a show of '80s movie posters from Ghana opening tonight, Wednesday, 6 February 2008. Painted in oil on potato sacks, the paintings feature fantastic renderings of popular films which were shown in public screenings in homes, schools, social clubs and outdoors. Often the work of artists that may have not actually seen the...
Monocle's Travel Top Fifty, a collection of the editors' best first-hand experiences traveling, is the first in a series of special editions by the publication. The supplement includes tips on the mundane (an airport metro in Denmark) and the fabulous (a personal butler at Hong Kong's Grand Hyatt), as well as on more simple luxuries like a sublime terrace in Zürich. All their highly-subjective...
With their clever title and seductive photography, we're excited about the new street culture quarterly, Rack, a Chinese-English bilingual magazine. Content-wise, it's heavy on pan-Asian youth culture, but it also looks around the world at graffiti, skateboarders, design, other creatives and "general mayhem."
