Wellcome Collection
A galaxy away from the blue chip collectors, the
auction rooms and the private views at Larry
Gagosian, outsider art can offer up some of the
most refreshing, compelling and surprising of
images. Like street or folk art, it represents an
invitation into a culture, or an individuals psyche,
that has nothing to do with fashion or primary and
secondary markets. It can be raw and candid. It
can be beautiful and disturbing.

appetite for morning TV. Here he distills the plot
of one of his favourite series into pictorial form.
Translated literally as Welcome Sea Turtles!, this
series is centered around a family-run udon noodle
shop in a rural fishing community. The work
introduces the central characters, such as hapless
fisherman Ippei and Nami, the object of his
unrequited love."

Kabul, Afghanistan
Qessa Academy
The power of a story can be enough to power
change.
At the Qessa Academy we act as story harvesters.
We gather the seeds of stories. We plant and
nurture them through a series of education
programmes and platforms. Then we disseminate
their fruits to inspire transformation.
By supporting the Afghan people to preserve,
share and harness the power of their own stories,
our mission is to help to craft a new narrative for
the country. At the heart of this narrative fueled
by the abundant stories of love, growth and hope
which rise up though the memory of its people is
peace and progress.
This is a story we believe is worth telling. Our
work makes that belief come true.

natural process of petrification allows the
collector to discover and envision a near future in
which man made material and objects get fossilize
into eternity. The result of this research is a

Codex Seraphinianus
In October Rizzoli will be republishing what is
regarded by many to be the strangest book in the
world, the Codex Seraphinianus.
The Codex is unlike other historically well-known
strange books (such as the Voynich Manuscript), in
that the author of the book is not only known
(Luigi Serafini is his name), hes still alive.
But the book is just so damned strange that it has
accumulated a veritable industry of speculation
about its meaning, deeper origins, and whether
the language in which it is written actually has any
syntax or not. Serafini has said relatively little
about it himself over the years, and denies that
the script has any meaning, but
Stefanos facebook timeline 40/52 2013
no one really believes that, including me.
