skull a day

This web page shows us a different skull every day. You couldn't imagine how many different forms of skull there are, nor how much a skull can suggest and bring to mind. It's probably the only symbol shared by all the cultures on the planet.

articulado

There are thousands of design books published every year. What's more, they come out in several format, with different contents and styles. But sometimes originality can become very disagreeable. With Articulado there's no danger of that happening. We love this book's ergonomic design, wide-ranging and encyclopedic contents.

implejidades

Juan Luis Morazak has used this special name to bring together his work at the Montehermoso culture centre in Gasteiz. His art offers neither bodies nor messages. It's a catalogue of doubts that make us think. In this case, the project's objective is to be a work of art and an experiment at the same time, each work will be defined as the exhibition progresses.
