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)!
