I am in Bodø - the interview was on friday last, I was the last of three to be interviewed. On saturday the project opened a new sculpture by the Berlin based dane Jeppe Hein. Another interactive sculpture by him. I was thinking that he might need a break/pause from his flipping cubes and moving benches or what ever these benches do. And also I was sort of curious why doing a rain sculpure in a city that has so much bad weather during a year - why not a "your private sun" or something on those lines (although, sun bathing is not healty I guess). But seeing the sculpture at the opening and the usage I was much more convinced. First of all, the inhabitans of Bodø havent seen as many projects by Hein as I have (most of them have probably seen none), and it is interesting, it has an aura of intention - it is interesting. I ended up trying my private rain.

thats easy; there are only two of them:
Tina Schulz at GfZK and the group exhibition From Brooklyn at Dogenhaus Galerie. It looks like the Director, Jochen Hempel is more at home in his new, industrial, 300sqm, space. Of the three exhibitions that have been so far I have only seen two and both has museums quality over them.

Re-reading part of my own blog I am aware of the fact that spending most my time in Leipzig, I write most about Oslo - and rest of Norway. Now, I am Norwegian and most of my friends etc. are in Oslo, so it is maybe not so strange. Another thing is that compared to Oslo, Leipzig is a boring place to live and to think art in. Although the same size there is nothing that is similar. Where Oslo is a medium small city when it comes to art galleries and a medium large city when it comes to number of museums - not to mention that the magazines two magazines that I write for the most are based in Oslo (those are: Billedkunst, that I am a part of the editorial board of and Kunstkritikk.no) and discussing Norwegian reality.
even though, I am Leipzig correspondant for the Spanish magazine Art.es (here is a link to the release of the third issue on e-flux) and so-called city editor for Contemporary Magazine.

I think this just underline the fact that I am Norwegian and interested in Norwegian reality.
