The Misfits and JuiceheaD in Lisbon
From that legendary album called ´Walk Among Us´ until today, you could say that Misfits haven´t had growing success, quite the opposite actually. However, honouring that first founding decade of Horror Punk, when Glenn Danzig was their leader with that unique mark and voice, it´s worth talking about them and recommending going to see them, even if it´s just once. The Misfits were born in 1977 in New Jersey as a project by Glenn Danzig and Jerry Only, to which they later added the drummer and the bass player. It wasn´t until 1982 when they released their first album, ´Walk Among Us´, which was almost the debut and goodbye of the band in its original formation because, a year later, Danzig broke up the band due to internal problems, although they´d already recorded the album ´Earth A.D / Wolfs Blood´ and then an EP after that. After this event, Jerry Only decided to regroup the band again and he formed what would be the second coming of The Misfits, at the same time that Danzig started a pretty successful solo career. I don´t think that it´s worth it to talk about the band´s third coming, but rather of how important the band have been down the years. They´re considered as one of the most important punk bands of the last 30 years, an influence of an aesthetic style and a theme that gave a breath of fresh air to punk rock. On the other hand, JuiceheaD is one of the new bands released by Misfits Records, and they have a youthful sound that will surely blow the roof off...
Fashion Week in Istanbul
Recently, the artist Jesse Rosten made a video for YouTube entitled “Photoshop by Adobe”, which he showed, in an ironically and sharp way, how this image editing software has the ability to alter and redesign feminine beauty. As it is known, much of the advertising and visual market is centered on the woman as a model to sell products of all kinds; clothing, beauty products, food, the list is endless. The video questions about the alleged problems of the search of beauty in the general Western system: slim, light eyes, white skin, patterns that are being repeated and have grown to as pillars of a generalized pattern of beauty. However, when a huge trillion-dollar market drills your head with an ideology of beauty, held on the effects of a computer publishing software, the question is: What´s going on? The truth is that with all these visual advertising tools, we are facing some sort of denaturation of the body itself and our approach to it. The body of the advertisement, the computer screen, the message for iphone, is but the digital invention of a study, with geographical and market statistics, designs a “perfect” woman for your product to be even more attractive. Style and fashion are at the center of this maelstrom of visual stimuli. From one side, the designer´s work continues to be risky, when they dress, in a completely original way, their models, integrate volume ideas and drawing into a fabric cut to fit into a body known in the selection of a body suitable for such clothing. Thus, from the performance of the walkways, new styles and...Marlborough Fine Art London

Valentine’s Day in Florence
The old love stories no longer exist. If you´re surprised with the fact that people get divorced so often and couples don’t stay together for a long time, perhaps you are a romantic who still believe in love. There are so many stories enmeshed around the word love since the beginning of mankind. Due to their implications and consequences, it is difficult to know if love is just another great invention of culture to “formalize” the sexual act, as a transcendent event that, at the end of the day, is nothing more than an inherent function of the body and is meant be done only to perpetuate the human specie. Love as a barrier, as an improvement, as hope, as a God, as an enemy, as a tragedy, as a war. Love has so many ways of being seen that we would need many pages to write an elaborated presentation of all forms that love often have in our culture. The truth is that every 14th of February, in various parts of the western world, we celebrate the day of love; we present roses and chocolates, to recall the union of two individuals. However, Valentine´s Day is just another commercial invention to empty our pockets, buying flowers, gifts, chocolates, balloons, and fetish, all of this in a pretty ridiculous time of the year. If you did not have enough with Christmas, Valentine´s Day is coming to get you, so be prepared to spend. Valentine´s Day, it is still another example of the superficiality of some emotions, which are sold to the world in developed packages. Unfortunately, the idea of...Centro Vital Berlin
