I've been following and loving videos at The Selby and Nowness for a while, and I wondered when we'd get quality audiovisual material with local content here.
While there is something on the music side with En la terraza and at Entre-vista they post nice conversations with interesting characters, there are no initiatives more focused on the design and art worlds. Which is why I was glad to hear about the existence of Küche.

Guillermina Luz Sanchez is an architect, artist and part of the bicycle-worshipers clan that makes Critical Mass Buenos Aires. I met her recently through Felix, and a few days ago I tagged along on a getaway to visit her house at Ingeniero Maschwitz (which, as I learned later, OhLaLa magazine considers a ‘cool circuit ').
Her current space is a recycled garage where one can spend hours taking a close look at all the little things she has on tables, shelves, hanging. In another context, I would find a stuffed house a bit overwhelming, but Guillermina's is full of life.

After a few months of nomadic life, I'm beginning to frequent some spaces of Buenos Aires again, and last week I was twice at the gallery Patio del Liceo for an opening at Mite and an event at The President. I was quite impressed by how different the gallery is. So much, that I had to go back to my archive to confirm that the previous image I had of the place was real.
Thus, by stirring bytes, I found some pictures I took in August 2009, one of the first times I went there.
It's been a few years since I bought Christmas presents, and since 2009 I ask people that for my birthday they get me something handmade, a plant, or nothing at all. However, if I had to get or receive a present, I would choose one of these.
