Colin de Land died of cancer at the age of 47, in March 2003. For a lot of people his name is one of many, for others it’s a religion. Some men live and die honored by the public, and there are others who live and die to be commemorated and loved only by those who belong to the first of the two categories. Colin de Land is one of these. His figure is related ineluctably to New York. His activity as an art dealer or, more precisely, his atypical way of directing a gallery – as an artist (the role he covered to all intents and purposes in the project John Dogg, the fictitious artist behind which Colin himself and Richard Prince used to hide) – put an indelible mark on the New York arti ... more

Saluti da Roma - Bar Peru - Rome 2008

Carola Pisaturo is a dj and an old friend of ours. Since she was child she has been obsessed with dinosaurs. The fact that they lived on earth for much longer than humans truly intrigues her. Last week she went to see an exhibition with 15 life-size dinosaurs in Bologna. Whilst usually she mixes records at night, this time she took some pictures. From the prehistory. (lmg)

A different way to see sports. The New York Times asked Ryan McGinley to shoot some pictures during the last Olympic Winter Games. Although it may seem obvious, it took the eye of someone like McGinley to show the beauty of a bunch of human beings who spend their lives trying do something a millisecond faster than their opponents. Too claustrophobic to be real. So thanks Ryan for those different, ethereal views. (vm)

The exhibition SUPERNATURE: An Exercise in Loads is based on the encounter with the first gym in Athens to specialize in competitive bodybuilding. Owned by the highly esteemed pioneer of Greek bodybuilding S. Bournazos, the gym constitutes a unique hybrid of formal qualities. Its function of zestfully hosting the hyper-activity of competitive bodybuilding future is matched by an “archival” quality which throws light on traces of this very activity in the 80s and the 90s.
