run for your life ! (part.2)

I've already shared you a nike+ track some time ago (here), made by LCD Soundsystem. This track, "45:33", is excellent, it really helps you to do that extra mile.

Nike asked 4 artists, including Goose - a belgian electropop dance band, to make one new track, called Passo4. For now, it's only available on the Italian itunes store, but thanks to me, you can have it here !
enjoy your jogging !

Who made who - Passo4 - part1
Alex Neri - Passo4 - part2
Stylophonic - Passo4 - part3

+ 'Viva la Vida' Tracklist:

1. Life in Technicolor
2. Cemeteries of London
3. Lost!
4. 42
5. Lovers in Japan/Reign of Love
6. Yes
7. Viva la Vida
8. Violet Hill

vic de wolf


Victoria de Wolf is young belgian artist, with a lot of talent.
Born in 1984, she studied illustration at St-Luc, a famous art school in Brussels, and still studies graphic communication.
Besides being a graphic designer and an illustrator, she paints, but not enough if you ask me...

the tuymans experiment

Klara.be (belgian cultural channel) did an experiment with Belgian painter Luc Tuymans (who's paintings go for millions). What if you take art out of its usual context and expose it in the street? Would people even notice it?
96% of passers-by ignore the painting...
