Studio visit in Amsterdam East

Posted on 06/09/2011 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Today we visited the studio of the artists duo Freudenthal/Verhagen.

Situated in a former harbour warehouse, built in 1892, also a formerly squatted building, completely renewed into workplaces. Freudenthal/Verhagen have been working here since 20 years or so. Freudenthal/Verhagen’s work is very imaginative, so is their studio.

Although filled with various things their studio is very tidy.

Studio visit in Milan, Tortona area

Posted on 17/04/2011 by Mimi Berlin Amsterdam

Today we visited the Traviganti Metal workshop in Milan. A large place with lots of interesting machine’s. Craftsmen make all kinds of metal objects, functional items such as beer taps and vases and less functional object such as larger than life Fabergé eggs, robots, horses with Swarovski stones, and other useless luxurious stuff. Amazing! It was a true joy to visit this studio. This workplace isn’t very tidy, the work is.

Office visit in Milan, western part

Today we visited the office of Rossana Orlandi and Co. A very tiny and very crowded place, situated in the middle of her gallery. It’s nothing more than a wooden cubicle, it looked vintage to me, under all the modern clutter that is.The gallery is situated in an old tie factory the cubicle offices dates from this time, so does the shop on the first floor. This office resembles the gallery on the spot!
