    I don’t really get what this event is all about, but Groovisions have something to do with it, which is enough for me to take notice. An invitation by “Picnic Cafe” to enjoy cities and experience one’s own futuristic view of urban space. (TAB) At Spiral until April 6.

    I saw this, GA HOUSES PROJECT 2005, at Junkudo yesterday, and was definitely tempted to pick it up. It looks at various projects, featuring Tadao Ando, Jun Aoki, Atelier Bow-Wow, among others. Bonus: the content is presented in a bilingual format.

    I haven’t been keeping up with the magazine KATEIGAHO INTERNATIONAL. Although it does sport some gorgeous photography throughout, the content just doesn’t seem to interest me that much, as their focus definitely wanders towards the more traditional aspects of Japan. I did have a look through the latest issue (Spring 2005) earlier today, and there…

    Well, it only took 3 issues: COMPOSITE is no longer bilingual. The new issue (Vol. 3 No. 3), pictured above, has ditched the English insert they used to have in the back — for more content I suppose. First PAPER SKY, now COMPOSITE…

    The new issue of the magazine TITLE features a cover story on the new up and coming CM queens, and comes with a DVD that includes personal messages from all your favorite gravia idols. Ain’t that sweet. Speaking of TITLE, anyone know if there’s an official website for the magazine? I wanted to inlclude the…
