Cabaret Voltaire

The Cabaret Voltaire in Zurich was founded in February 1916, during World War 1 by Hugo Ball and Emmy Hennings. Their purpose was to create a centre for artistic entertainment where guest artists could experiment new ways of perfomances.

The Dadaism movement sprouted from this scenario, and in 1917 the first exhibition comprised works from Arp, Man Ray, Duchamp, Marcel Janco, Hans Richter, Giorgio de Chirico, Alberto Savinio, Modigliani.

Today the Cabaret Voltaire is still a spot for well known contemporary artists and their performances (such as Jonathan Meese) or an exhibition space for newcomers of the blooming swiss art scene.

Chourouk Hriech is a young artist who was born in Bourg en Bresse, France and is of Moroccan decent. She has never totally settled and lives a nomadic life-style dividing her time between Morocco, France and wherever her travels take her.

Hriech's drawings reflect this confluence of inspirations and experiences, also incorporating the mythological and imaginary. 

In this series the lines symbolize a beautiful travel, full of beasts and adventures, where the bodies are rewrote in the landscapes. 

In the # 2 an elephant meets an armed girl without her body. The architectures become part of the savannah in a mimetic way and the eye can't anymore distinguish between the modernism and archaism.

A warrior girl on a ship in the #3, who is cruising in the sea of life, bringing with herself pieces of her past.

Hriech plays with her pen in a self-styled black and white geometrical zone between cultures, dreams and geographies taken for example from the Morocco mountains or the French building blocks depicted on the # 4 drawing.

She will exhibit her works in "Printemps de Septembre" Festival of contemporary images in Toulouse, September 2009; in

" Biennale de Marrakech" in November 2009 and in "Project Room" at the CRAC of Sète.

Smoked salmon macaroni

This is one of our best recipes, with a mix of nordic and mediterranean flavours!

Those are the ingredients for you and your loved: get 100 g of Norvegian atlantic salmon, a little garlic, some parsley, 3 soup-spoons of Tuscan olive oil and a small quantity of red pepper: put all together in a mixer to make a sauce.

While you are cooking 150g of De Cecco mezze penne put the sauce in a little pan just to sauté it for 3 minutes. 

Dress the pasta and serve hot with a frozen Alsacian wine.

The result? Why don't you tell us?

Derrière Restaurant in Paris

Recently we have discovered one of the most interesting restaurants in Paris: the Dèrriere. It's an unusual place inside a courtyard furnished as an apartment, where clients can find a confidential and friendly atmosphere. You can choose between the lounge, dining room, bedroom or boudoir. Best entrée we tasted? The handmade fois gras is so delicious!
