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.

BEZDOMNY - a great public but also privat art happening at the Jungmansgatan 55. Flexiphil and Nusa posted it at the blog yesterday. The artist group Bezdomny are: Magdalena Rapala, Stina Östberg, Staffan Hjalmarsson, Frida Yngström & Maria Karlsson, five artists who graduated from Valand School of Fine Arts. The local artist Katja Aglert was presenting her new video at the basement of the house. In the sauna was an installation with melting butter. The living room of one of the artists was used as an birthday party area with lots of creme pies. See also a small VIDEO of the "firework installation"! Nice to be there...

They are small artist, everybody see them. In each street, at each balcony. But nobody see them as an artist. If you take the Tram 4, 8, 9 and leave at Angered, the last stop, you will find these scenario. Many front garden in these colony are different. Each of them tells a story. map

Your Environment

You make trash! Make you trash? Or is it art? Or make the art the fotograph?

Haunted by graffiti

During my walk through Göteborg I ran into some work by Ekta and Miss Lotion, members of Galleri ORO which "boskoop" wrote about. They were both somewhere in Andra and Fjärde Långgatan putting a colorful flair in the air.

As I went on towards Masthuggstorget I came across Kommers Loppmarknad, a flea market which is only open during weekends. The building is covered in graffiti so you can spend a lot of time only looking at the outside.

Last but not least I went to "the famous" Röda Sten which Maike posted about. There were some very nice graffiti on the Alvsborgsbron support pillars, on the lampposts, on trees and wherever it is possible to graff. Worth visiting!

Gamla Älvsborgs Slottsruin

A good place to be by your self!

IN-EX material store

A really good shop of design, arts and crafts material.
Located near Brunnsparken, (where the statue of a man in a horse is) it's very small and you have to go down stairs from the street to get inside. Have a look there! they've everything you need little artists!

(it's not a really good picture, but you can see their "logo", i'll add another one from far away) Map!
