May 2012
October 14th, 2011The Italian coffee company Lavazza has unveiled the 2012 edition of its collectible calendar. Each year, the calendar is shot by a world renowned photographer, but to celebrate the 20th edition, Lavazza used 12 photographers who had shot previous calendars, asking them to create a self-portrait. The month of May features aWLp’s Eugenio Recuenco, who shot the 2007 calendar: “The story I want to tell is of an encounter between two cultures – Spanish and Italian – by using the two legends: Don Quijote and Lavazza. A mixture of story-telling and history, fantasy and reality, the surreal and the real.”

The Unknown
March 29th, 2011Opening on Apr. 1 is Peter Lindbergh’s never-before-seen exhibition in Beijing’s Ullens Center for Contemporary Art. Shifting the focus away from the main ingredients of the work that he’s known for (i.e. supermodels and famous actresses), The Unknown marks the photographer/filmmaker’s first exhibition in China. Designed specifically for the UCCA, the installation features 52 large format images pasted directly to the walls, with each image conjuring a story of its own while creating a dialogue with the other images within the mosaic.
