Nah... I have some in avant premiere to hand out to friends, before we launch it in style in Brussels, September 24 th.

Abandoned Ghent Winter Circus in black & white

Twee zeer goede redenen om vandaag naar Gent te trekken: eindelijk is het wondermooie pand ' het winter circus' weer even voor publiek open. Onbegrijpelijk dat voor dit prachtige gebouw geen definitieve functie kan worden gevonden....Soit, voor enkele weken kan je er gewoon weer binnen, en wel om een sterke tentoonstelling te bekijken.
Stephan Van Fleteren neemt moeiteloos de arena in met heel straffe zwart wit portretten van al wat enig sinds gekend is in ons land. Uiteraard de obligate getormenteerde koppen, altijd goed voor indringende beelden, maar ook minder evidente poses, locaties en beeldcomposities. Mooie techniek, al mis je soms echt in een blik in de ziel van het 'model'. Als ze dit uberhaupt toelaten natuurlijk.
Mooi.
Ik bel Stephan binnenkort zelf voor een portret.

Hi, my name is Kate Stockman.

I am an creative, intuitive thinker & trend forecaster who believes in cross-disciplinary solutions.
I have a passion for future brand development, fashion, art and powerful through-the-line-communication.

I always had multiple sensors, ‘aerials’ or ‘antennas’ as I call them, to feel what’s going on in the world, what is coming and why.
From fashion, over design, food, modern art, communication to psychology, nightlife and science connected with nature. It always felt natural.

That’s why I founded my own creative trend company and this blog.

Enjoy.

The Squid Stories is an interdisciplinary blog magazine focusing on the interaction between design, art, fashion, shops, travel, communication and developments in consumer behaviour.

If I look at art, fashion, design and food trends, all signs direct in the same direction. We are restoring society with all the means we have.
That’s the good news.

The Squid Stories tries to catch urban and rural vibes on contemporary culture that surrounds us.
Founded in 2010, the blog started as a diary/playground/time capsule to document my inspiration-filled days and took a next step in 2014 towards Kate’s weekly report on contemporary culture.

DISCLAIMER

As my roots lie in photography, most of the pictures of this blog are my own. I’ve always been a true Nikon lover, so all photographs are taken with the beautiful white Nikon J1 or with my professional Nikon D80. Off course, being an ‘Instagramer’ of the first hour, my I-phone also serves frequently as a third black box.

Besides that, The Squid Stories carefully selects images and adds links to the original source, to give credit where credit is due. If you happen to come across an image with any missing information, please contact me to fix it.
