Party for the arty people - Arty for the party people

On friday me and my girlfriend visited a crazy party of a collective called "Koloni". The party / concert was placed in a huge impressive cave called "Berg 211" close to hallplats "bellevue". This is a fantastic location for celebration. But also the concerts were really great. The first big act was "Love Is All" (Göteborg). After their great show the "Dirty Projectors" (New York, USA) entered the stage. Unexpected good. Last but not least "James Ausfahrt" a incredible crazy guy from Göteborg released his new album "party for the arty people - arty for the party people"

The upcoming dates of koloni you will find here!

Nan Goldin Exhibition

I think a few of us have already visited the Hasselblad-Center in Göteborg. At the moment there is a really good exhibition about Nan Goldin an american photographer. The shown photographs are part of her most famous work "The Ballad of Sexual Dependency". The snapshot aesthetic images depict drug use, violent, aggressive couples and autobiographical moments. Most of her Ballad subjects were dead by the 1990s due to either drug overdoses or AIDS..." A really impressive exhibition, especially the slideshow (45min, 800 pictures)!

Punk and Pudding

On Wednesday the 24th (tomorrow 7pm) the Bezdomny-Art-Collective is celebrating another happening in a private flat. The topic of the evening should be "Punk and Pudding" - but I am not sure. I can`t find much information on the bezdomny website. "The event will take place at the writer Aleksander Motturi’s home at sveagatan 2c. The program including artists Maria Friberg and Maya Watanabe (Lima) that will relate to silence as an metaphor and the concept of silence as it is elaborated in Motturi’s latest book..."

Visit them, the atmosphere there is really warm and welcome! BEZDOMNY - NEW APARTMENTS FOR ART & LIFE IN GOTHENBURG... map

Rocky Mountain High

Rocky-Mountain-High! I can`t stop promoting this place. This week I walked together with Daniel through this fantastic forrest close to Studiegången. If you want to see the outback of Sweden you have to go there before the weather is not that cozy anymore! You have to walk about 40min from Studiegången to the Delsjöområdets Naturreservat. Than you have to go to a lake called "Långevattnet" it is up on a Rocky Mountain! John Denver - Yeah....

Get The Dragon

We really tried to get to the dragon, but there where to many fences to climb. Nevertheless an amazing boat.
