The fair is going on, the fanfare display is actively changing shape, the catalogues have sold out, and a constant flow of visitors have past by Libros Mutantes. This is Sunday, the last day of the fair, and audience is similarly exhausted upon several days of participation and inspiration. In this context, we speak to Andrea Gonzalez, a young designer and radio host based in Madrid. Though Andrea...

Following our conversation with Studio Futuro we cross the city of Madrid to talk to Carlos Fernandez Pello. On our way to his studio, we enter what used to be a former industrial area. In contrast to the surroundings of Studio Futuro, these surroundings offer larger spaces, bigger windows, light and more air. Being a writer, curator, artist (and more), Carlos holds various titles, which is also s...

For this second part of the Madrid edition we enter a conversation with three members of Madrid-based interdisciplinary architectural practice Studio Futuro.

While being both a radio station and an architec...

This first part serves as an introduction to a series of interviews with Madrid-based designers and creative practices in which we discuss the overall outcome of the conversations through general topics, local conditions and global impact.

The Live Archive jingle

Continuing our three part series on Leipzig’s art and design scene, we speak to Markus Lange of Studio Farn. With Markus, we went from discussing the Studio Farn studio, to talking about the benefits of travelling, for both producing a makeshift mindset and meeting different people with different attitudes. After that, we moved on to talk about the design scene in Leipzig, especially in contrast t...

In the first in a three part mini-series of interviews with Leipzig-based designers, we talk to Anja Kaiser, a graphic designer who also hosts club nights in the city.

We also discuss Anja’s project Sexed...
