Friendship

November 17, 2009 by jotysk

Haven´t been very active on this blog lately, but felt the urge today to share images from an exhibition I went to recently at Kulturhuset. The images are captured by Alessandra Sanguinetti in Argentina and depict two cousins and their fantasy land and close friendship. Incredibly touching I think.

Death Balloon

August 16, 2009 by jotysk

Went to see art work urging the public to “think about death” during the annual Culture Festival in Stockholm, and fell for this piece by Adel Abidin, an Iraqi-Finnish artist.

The video shows a young boy in barber shop training, gently shaving white foam off of a balloon ready to burst at any moment… and suddenly bursting. I yelled out loud :) . And left feeling relieved.

Highlights from Tensta Konsthall

July 30, 2009 by jotysk

Highlight 1: a huge video with people about to sneeze about to sneeze and then finally sneezing…(did not capture the sneezing part on film ;) ). Painful, funny and makes you feel like you´ve been waiting to sneeze and finally sneezed then waiting to sneeze again your whole life, place of unrest. By Ulf Lundin and part of the exhibit “Cut my legs off and call me shorty” at Tensta Konsthall, a museum for contemporary art.

Highlight 2: the restroom!! See THIS is what a rest room is supposed to look like in an art museum :D .

Interesting talk by Elizabeth Gilbert, famous writer, about creativity and the self-defeating performance anxiety burden on the Western, secular individual within any kind of creative profession…

As seen on a wall at Moderna Museet (the major museum in Stockholm for contemporary art): “Beware of taking the spectator’s unfruitful stand, because life is not a spectacle, a sea of misery is not a viewbox (not sure about the translation here ;) ), a screaming human being is not a circus bear!” True true…
