Blog of the Week

Atypica is an Argentine art blog based on their magazine "Atypica: for people who do everything for the love of Art".

Atypica observes trends in order to discover new things in design and culture.  It walks the streets taking in the highlights observed by it's eye for the unique.  Atypica listens to the background music and pumps the volume only when it's worth it.  It smells what's coming, what's coming back in and what has past it's used by date.  It feels the ground tremble when something stamps hard, and grabs at what others leave out for being too strange.
