Hidden Smile in Vietnam Réhahn

Smiling is a global way to express emotion. It has become a widely-known sign throughout the years. But Réhahn sees past muscle-tensing. He focuses on the details that give an importance to the smile; the wrinkles around the eyelids are the traces of life left as an imprint on their body. 

THREAD: New Artist Residency and Cultural Center Toshiko Mori

The rural village of Sinthian in south-eastern Senegal will be the setting for an exciting new cultural centre, conceived and funded by the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation in Connecticut in collaboration with a local leader in Sinthian. Opening on 4 March 2015,THREAD will offer residencies for visiting international artists alongside a diverse range of programs that will provide the people of Sinthian and the surrounding region with the opportunity to discover new forms of creativity and cultivate their skills. A venue for markets, education, performances and meetings, the centre will be a hub for the local community and a place where the resident artists can have a truly meaningful experience of Sinthian society.

The Amangiri Resort and Spa, located on a spectacular 600+ acre site in Canyon Point,   Utah, is a unique collaboration between three well-established architects: Marwan Al-Sayed, Wendell Burnette and Rick Joy. The three architects were brought onto the project by Bernt Kuhlmann, one of the current owners of Amangiri, and then the managing partner in the development of the lands that now include Amangiri. The three architects were inspired to work together on an awe-inspiring site and for such a legendary hotelier, Adrian Zecha, whose Aman Resorts has redefined the concept of travel and luxury in remarkable sites.
