It is no wonder that water, stone and then plants are the inspiration for gardeners here. We did the Route des Cretes between Cassis and La Ciotad, a serpentine road with stunning views. Then went to Parc du Mogul, which has a pretty beach and picknick area. As a garden it is a little underwhelming […]

Now that I have been awakened to the combination stone – water – plants during our visit to La Louve, I see this everywhere. As at the garden-under-construction Jardin d’Albertas just south of Aix-en-Provence. Aix itself was lovely, and hot, and crowded, something the quiet village of Apt where we reside only achieves on market days. The […]

So we went to the sooooo-famous garden of La Louve in Bonnieux, and it was beautiful!

In case you wonder where all the other vistors are: I used my camera with discretion. Busload after busload arrived and entered […]

Spent an extremely nice day at The Hague the day before yesterday – we were invited to the graduation show of the Royal Academy of Art the Hague. We picked out one student for Hedenhaags – a promising guy who compares making buildings with making film: the production of a palace. Designing a palace is representing its […]

Students presented the work they are doing for our exhibition last week – very interesting stuff. Was glad to find one of them doing a game :) Games always meet with the same resistance: if it’s a game, it can’t be art. At least: it can’t be serious art. Think again, people! We’ve started crowdfunding for […]
