Office for Soft Architecture

For the poetry lovers among us - yes, I'm talking to both of you - let's move to Amsterdam and frequent the art salons: Mediamatic.

What's wrong with Canada? Why can't we integrate art into our daily routine? Why the blockades? Why the fear?

By the sounds of Mediamatic's mandate, Amsterdonians have figured out that embracing the element of suprise does not signify a loss of control, but instead shows confidence in change - and thus, a much more exciting world, they do have: "It matches the topical with heritage in a sometimes fuzzy, but always surprising way." I want to live in a fuzzy, surprising world full of topical history and art!


I finally have time to read - more than one book at one time. Here's what's currently in rotation:
1. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
2. Occasional Work and Seven Walks from the Office for Soft Architecture by Lisa Robertson
3. The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay (Why must all sci-fi/fantasy websites be in tones of soft purple? Why?)

Here are all the books that I have read with talking cats in them:
1. The Master and the Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
2. Not Wanted on the Voyage by Timothy Findley
3. Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami
