Today I continued my tour to some of my talented friend’s work places. Me and my new friend Masaki, went to visit Masayoshi Oya in his workshop at Sockerbruket. This guy is a really talented ceramic artist with roots in Japan. He came to Sweden some years ago, to further educate himself in ceramic art. [...]
Today I visited my good friend James Thompson at his jewelry workshop in Kortedala. A really nice place for some really nice work. Check out his website if you like composites and jewelry. www.blackbadger.se He makes some really cool stuff. Anyhow, it was really nice to see where he hangs out and how he makes his jewelry. I [...]
Back home from lovely Dalsland. I spent a couple of days there with my friends. I just had time to start helping them with one of the mini golf courses for their art history golf challenge. Their plan was to make famous pieces of art in miniature scale to use as obstacles for the mini [...]
Today I arrived to Fengersfors in Dalsland to visit some friends. They’re making a miniature golf corse with historical art pieces as the obstacles. It’s a very nice idea for a golf course. Miniature sculpture golf course. I love it. So tomorrow I’ll start to make a miniature version of Lars Vilks Nimis. Let’s see [...]
This Friday we finished the sculpture symposium here in Greenwich. Around 20 artistis from all over the world contributed with fantastic sculptures that at this moment can be viewed at the Roger Sherman Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut. My sculpture, which is untitled at the moment, was finished after a really tough week of welding [...]
Today was a hard day in Greenwich. Started working at eight o’clock. Welding, welding, grinding, grinding. All day until six. My arms are a bit tired, I have to say. It turns out good though. Tomorrow is the last day and I really have to focus to get all finished for the presentation in the afternoon. [...]
Hola compadres! Yesterday was great. I got a lot done on the sculpture and after half a days work we went on a boat ride to see the fireworks on the Hudson river. It was magical. I could write a lot about this but I have to go out in the sunshine and finish my [...]
Ok, so today I’ve got a lot done. I’ve cut all my plates and started to weld them together. It’s actually quicker than I thought. Hopefully I’ll get some work done tomorrow as well. This evening we had a lovely dinner with our host family. They cooked lobster, stake and corn amongst other things. It [...]
Holy shit. I will never forget this day. We got up really early today to go and get our material for our sculptures. First we went to get Jens’s stuff at a metal workshop close by, then me and Mary went to Brooklyn to get my steel plates. That was a trip I’ll tell you. [...]
Today we spent another fantastic day in New York. Me, Jens, Arne, Marjolein and Maurizio visited New Museum in SoHo, a worthless pancake cafe on Greene street and bunch of really good design stores. We also had a taxi race with “follow that car” influences. To sum it up: a really good day in New [...]
Francisco bending metal There is a quite importent thing missing on this sculpture symposium. The material. Most of the artists got theirs, but me and Jens are still waiting for ours. Because of this I’ve had to change the design for my sculpture. It’s nothing big but it will go much quicker to produce [...]
This morning me and Jens decided not to sit around and wait for our lost material, so we went to New York. Today was really hot. Really, really hot. First we went to MoMA, one of my favorite art museums. We saw some fantastic works. The one that really got to me was a video [...]
