  • Pause Original Blend Tea

    —

    ,

    This month marks the fifth anniversary of Cafe Pause, and one of the things we did to help mark the occasion was to create an original tea blend for the cafe — well, two actually, one is regular tea, the other is a herbal blend. Five labels were created by five friends of the cafe:…

  • Death by Basel Publication

    The publication created for last December’s “Death by Basel” exhibition can now be purchased online. Same goes for the OK Fred collaboration.

  • Tokyo Art Maps

    —

    ,

    Over at the AQ blog, Paul — yes, Mr. TAB — takes a look at a few art maps for Tokyo, which you can view in a very nice full-screen slideshow. Even better, it’s first in a series. Reminds me that I have to give him the Hong Kong art map I picked up for…

  • Claska 701 Someone’s Atelier

    ,

    Interesting idea: Norihiko Terayama‘s “Claska 701 Someone’s Atelier” installation is actually set up in one of the hotel’s rooms (701, of course). Even better, you can stay in the room. Spoon & Tamaga posts more details and photos.

  • Lighting Up PKN

    —

    ,

    I just put up a post about the PechaKucha Night event held in Denver last week over at PechaKucha Daily, and wanted to share the image above, of the audience spelling out PKN with their mobile phones — love the effect it created. Maybe we should try and make it happen at tomorrow’s Tokyo edition!
