Sketches for a Mechanical Sunrise
I went over to Oslo on the May bank holiday weekend to attend Espen Dietrichson’s gallery opening at UKS entitled Sketches for a Mechanical Sunrise. Espen is probably the only one I know who’s working in the creative field but is not doing it commercially, so I find it extremely interesting and fascinating to talk to him about how he approaches his work and his industry and to draw parallels to what I do and the web industry. Make sure you visit his website, espendietrichson.com and have a look at his sculptures. They are stunning.
It was my first time to Oslo, and over our short stay (Friday to Sunday) it left a very good impression. Besides the gallery opening, we had dinner at Ekeberg Restauranten, visited the new Opera house and the Vigeland Sculpture Park. The restaurant had a great location. But, unfortunately, that was about it. The food was pricy and average. The Opera house is impressive (above photograph). Unfortunately you have limited access inside the building. The Vigeland Sculpture Park was beautiful and Gustav Vigeland’s sculptures gave it a unique shade of weirdness (below photograph).
Inte käkat på Ekeberg ännu (trots där jag jobbade förrut har gjort den grafiska profilen), Inte varit i nya operahuset och har nog fan inte ens varit i Vigelandparken även om jag gått förbi några gånger.
Du kan Oslo bättre än mig trots jag bott här 3 1/2 år :) Hoppas du kommer på återbesök, då har jag sovplatser åt er i mitt crib.
Jocke, jag kommer igen! En av hojtpunkterna var ju att traffa dig over ett par öl! Sa det ar forfarande pa min Oslo To-Do list ;)
Nico, siden du ikke fikk et optimalt intykk første gangen må du tilbake til Oslo, faktisk ingen valg! Hvor bodde ni?
@Sandro, I will definitely return. I liked Oslo, and Joakim owes me a few beers ;) We stayed with a friend of a friend.
