lesson in anatomy
Lissa Nilsson’s innovative origami models are amazing. You have to look at her art very closely to see the secrets of different anatomical sections which she uses different types of paper to show. The best thing? When you get to know each secret, you like here art even more.
breakonstage in april
The unmissable y early event has com e back to Bilbao. It is one of the most important festivals in Europe. As well as the street dancing competition and other things connected with street art, there is a BMX exhibition, 3D mapping, light dancing, video dj sessions...Bilbao Arena, Miribilla, 20th April.
tiles as nests
If you want to turn your farmhouse or shed roof into a housing estate for birds, use this beautiful Klas Kuiken tile. There is no risk of a housing boom and having birds in your roof is an unbeatable investment. People who complain that birds build nests between their tiles no longer have any excuse. Put on these tile-nests and that’s it.
light skeletons
The skeletons which Finnish artist Janne Parviainen makes are ephemeral. They disappear as soon as they are created. The memories of these different coloured skeletons can only be kept in photographs. There a re dozens of light skeletons in his “photo graveyard”.
leioa humour fair
This classic event never disappoints. There are the two sides of the theatre mask, laughing and crying. They are both valid for Leioa humour fair: you laugh until you cry when you see Trapu Zaharra’s act. Good theatre and humour in the street, 16th to 19th May.
human rights cinema festival
Another year for the Human rights cinema festival. This yearly festival allows you to see films you’ll never be able to see anywhere else. Last year, for example, Polish film maker Kassovitz’s polemical L´Ordre et la morale was shown. This year’s programme, too, looks excellent.
matchstick heads
It’s hard to say exactly why you like Wolfgang Stiller’s work. The thing is, as soon as you see it you think how often you’ve felt like a matchstick head. You also think about immolation. We are simple matchstick heads. And we enjoy thinking that a simple matchstick can destroy everything.
zart
This new project wants to broadcast culture and, above all, audio visual contents. The project’s open nature is interesting because the audio visual contents do not lead to an orthodox point of view. This is not just a video website. There are interviews, critiques, news, films, invitations to participate in things and many other activities there. Zirt Zart.
gutun zuria

digital fault furniture
You already know what we’re like. We really love strange, bizarre things. And this furniture’s definitely in that category. This furniture, created by Ferruccio Lavian, is based on the digital mistakes which crop up when you scan it. It’s quite astonishing!
edipotoa
The photographer Nagore Lejarreta has made a collection of short-hand photos and sent it to many writers. The writers Gorka Setien, Haizea Arregi, Lainon, Juanbau Erauskin and Mikel Perurena sent her back their texts based on the photographs. Thanks to that, all the books published sold out. While you wait for the second edition, you can enjoy her show Edipotoa. Mariano Hurtado adds double-bass to the whole experience.
atabal
After seeing what Atabal has programmed for the next two months (Femi Kuti, La Femme, Pennywise, Shanon Wright, Low, Ruper Ordorika...), there´s just one option: to rent a flat in Biarritz with a group of friends. It’s all a matter of avoiding those serious-faced gendarmes who always wait for us at the toll booths.
