Restaurant reviews

My restaurant reviews of Treviso, come to you today, as one of my last blog entries, and also in Simple English.

All’antico Portico
Piazza Santa Maria Maggiore 18
Price: €€€
Favorite dish: Gnocchi ripieni di radicchio
The service here is really great. Nice to sit on the terrace outside on a cool summer night. The gnocchi is fucking ridiculous. Also, try the baked pumpkin flowers as an appetizer. The inside has amazing vintage signs and things of that like. One of my favorites.
Filodrammatici
Via Filodrammatici 5
Price: €€
Only been here once so I don’t really remember it, i have to say. I remember being really hungry and having a really small portion of pasta. But maybe it was normal size and i thought it was small because i was so hungry. Maybe. Small interior.
Osteria al Radicchio Rosso
Via Tolpada 25
Price: €€
Favorite dish: Spaghetti alle vongole
Went here when i first arrived with Marian, Lizy and Karol, and they made Karol wear this amazing bib with a tuxedo printed on it because she ordered spaghetti con frutta di mare. Classic. Amazing food at reasonable prices, large pasta portions. Weird lighting inside.
Pizzeria Madam
Via Risorgimento 10
Price: €
Favorite dish: Curry rice pilaf
Least favorite pizzeria i have been to. Really slow service no matter the party size. Interior is eurotrashy and the pizza ain’t so great.
Pizzeria Sant’Agostino
Via Sant’Agostino 35
Price: €
Favorite dish: Penne mamma rosa
A Fabrica favorite, a great place that will host a really large crowd of us. Really fast service

Sophie Thomas in Fabrica

Finally, after a long period of absence, lectures and workshops are back in Fabrica. Communication designer Sophie Thomas, co-founder and creative director of thomas.matthews London will be in the building from November 12th to 16th to lead an intensive cross-disciplinary workshop.
sophie-tomas.jpg Sophie Thomas together with Fabrica’s researchers and a selection of external participants from the center’s global think-net will focus the 5-day workshop on design and sustainability, entitled 99 months (the time scientifically agreed to tipping point to combat climate change).
The workshop closes with international critic Max Bruinsma, who will elaborate a critical writing on the results.

Trapped

Yesterday morning when we all entered the Fabrica building there was a bizarre sight waiting for us. In the distance against the grey structure you could see a person jumping through one of Ando’s solid pillars as if it were made of thin air and not concrete.
This installation called ‘Trapped’ is the creation of our very own Diego Beyró with the help of Annechien van Litsenberg. The shocking yet poetic work tries to defy all logic and rules of understanding and breaks free into the open space.

Before and During and After

Oriol took some photos of setting up the Triennale and walking through it and then there is some proof of drinking free booze.

the Trienalle is not a Haunted House

The theme of “big eyeballs” continues as the “Les Yeux Overts” exhibition moves from the Pompidou to Milan’s Trienalle. The official opening was yesterday, many of us “student” types went and walked around and pretended to be important and then, in typical fashion, guzzled down the free alcohol.

Al Gore will be making an appearance on the 14th to ring in the sustainable development cheer we at Fabrica are so sorely missing.
