Dino Saluzzi's new album

Dino Saluzzi's new album, El Valle de la Infancia, was released today by ECM Records. It is always good news to get more music by Dino, but in this case we are also looking forward to this release as the cover has got a photograph by Juan, taken in Sweden in 2006. This magical music needed something mysterious, and Manfred Eicher chose this particular picture when he met with Dino and Juan in Oslo, last year. 

Opening of CONCRETO exhibition

The opening was a complete success. Nearly 300 friends (critics, designers, architects, artists, etc) attended the show yesterday. It was fun meeting such wonderful people. Luigi Bosca provided delicious sparkling extra brut wine from La Linda. The photos were very well regarded and admired. Some of them were already sold during the event. The Australian Embassy in Buenos Aires backed the show and was attended by the Ambassador herself, Mrs. Patricia Holmes.

New photo exhibition "CONCRETO"

A new photo-exhibition by Juan will be opening next Wednesday, April 23rd, at Federico Churba's showroom. Juan met Federico a couple of years ago when they were both handled the Cayc/Parex-Klaukol "Ventanas al futuro" prizes. Some months ago, Juan had to portrait Federico for a story on Argentina to be published in Wallpaper Magazine. Federico invited Juan to put up an exhibition at his space, as he though Juan's work would make a good blend with his pieces. The show is called CONCRETO and consists of 10 large (110X110 cmts) prints, all direct takes, no digital manipulation, of humidity stains found by Juan inside a tunnel in Sydney, 2013. The show is backed by the Australian Embassy in Buenos Aires and will be open until May 30th. The Ambassador Holmes will be attending the opening. The fine prints were made on Epson Cold Press cotton paper. 

Portraits of pop musician Adrián Paoletti

Juan made some portraits of pop-musician Adrián Paoletti, leader of Paoletti & los acordes,  ex-leader of Copiloto Pilato and co-writer with Gustavo Cerati of some of the songs from the Fuerza Natural album. It was an easy task to shoot this wonderful artist and extraordinary face. 

3M corporate building for M/SG/S/S/S

Juan did the shoot of the newly opened 3M corporate building in Garin, 40 kilometers from BA, for M/SG/S/S/S architects. This shocking-red design against a deep blue sky lent itself for many bold compositions.
