My review of the Graphic Design Worlds exhibition is up on the 2/2011 issue of items magazine. Op nederlands, natuurlijk. Thanks to Max Bruinsma for having commissioned me to write it; it was quite a challenge to write about graphic design after so long. I’ll soon have You can find the original English text right here.

Bienal Building (Óscar Niemeyer)
I visited the São Paulo Architecture Biennale on the 12th and 13th of November, while spending a week there to attend TEDx São Paulo and interview people for my MFA thesis, Alvorada.
Before leaving New York, I pitched a review of the Bienal to Kieran Long, then editor-in-chief of Architecture Review. He commissioned me a 750-word piece, which I duly delivered. The following month Long told me he had left the magazine, but that the article would be published in the January 2010 issue of AR. It was indeed, but instead of around 750, it had been cut down (and very well, I may add) to just over 300 words.
For the sake of my own archive, I chose to have the whole, submitted piece here and show what bits were edited out.
