trois pages cornées

"Tout fuit, glisse, rien ne heurte, et soi-même on se dit qu'on est bien ici,

loin de chez soi, libre provisoirement de toute attache, que c'est pour ça qu'on voyage (même si c'est une illusion) : pour devenir aussi oiseau qu'on peut l'être."

*

"Ainsi va la vie, cahin-caha, au rythme lent du train, cependant que défilent des paysages désespérément monotones (mais cette monotonie a sa majesté et sa griserie : ceux qui ne comprennent pas ça n'aimeront jamais la Russie).."

*

"Voyager c'est se déshabituer. C'est aussi aller à la recherche d'une partie perdue de nous-même, tellement perdue qu'on ne saurait dire en quoi elle consiste, ni même si elle a jamais existé."

a look inside and out

rvng intl. is a music label based in new york,

where they also run a shop - commend.

their releases go from ambiant to experimental... more or less everything you can call 'niche' -- and by paying attention to their design, they've built a world of their own, like a community; the kind of label you are looking forward any upcoming releases.

the new record culture magazine issue (dream mag)  goes with this little booklet about some of the label releases's design.

a nice way to see how eclectic they are.

my rvng recommendations :

bing & ruth and syrinx (reissue)

you start a book

and want to read straight to it

but you have to go to sleep / to work.

this happened to me last night.

i'm halfway through 'certain american states' and don't want to stop reading it !

i've discovered catherine lacey a few weeks ago 

- thanks to literary hub (my new favorite website).

her two previous books are now on my reading lists too.

folk

snapshots of aaron schuman's book, folk

bringing together his personal photographs from his family 

and images from the ethnographic museum of krakow,

the book is a reflection about tradition, history and memory.

otarkino

pairing movies with food, 

otarkino is a collaboration between film curator vincent stroep 

and the food collective otark; based in antwerp.

 i was so happy when i discovered this book, published by roma publications, at the latest offrprint fair.

a souvenir from the "film dinners" they curated at hetbos.

i'm not sure they are still doing this kind of events but you can still get some inspiration in this book

or in browsing otark's blog.
