This weekend we went as far west as you can go in Norway. Our mission was surfing, and we stayed at Stad surf camp in Hoddevika. Thomas, Thomas and Trym are no strangers to surfing. Lina and me on the other hand, we could definitely do with another training session or two (read: twenty).

Video #36: Høstutstillingen 2009
The yearly art exhibition Høstutstillingen opened this Saturday. It is the 122nd exhibition, and 112 pieces are displayed. I enjoyed the total diversity of the art and especially the failed knitting projects by Kari Steinhaug, the Hangman by Svein Møxvold, Galleries by Gro Thorsen and the drawings by Sverre Malling. Other highlights: Pushwagners pieces and the pornographic drawings inspired by an IKEA catalogue by Steingrim Veum.

Video #35: Røyksopp and the girls, Øyafestivalen 2009
It has been a week since the Øya festival. During the final Øya act the sound was shitty and it was extremely wet, but we really enjoyed the performance by Røyksopp, Robin, Karin Dreijer-Andersson and Anneli Drecker. Next years Øya tickets are out for sale in December 09.

Video #32: Opening show, Oslo Fashion Week
Oslo Fashion week kicked off yesterday evening at Oslo Congress Center. In my opinion the spring, summer 2010 trend show was a bit boring and predictable, but the debutant collection was fun. The debutant designer is called Linn Rene Blegeberg. She got the inspiration from interviewing different people about their wardrobes and by focusing on their ugliest piece of clothing.

Video #31: The Nordic Pavilion, Venezia la Biennale 2009
I really enjoyed the Nordic Pavilion as part of the bienalle in Venice. The curators Elmgreen & Dragset combined the Danish and the Nordic pavilion houses and transformed them into "real"residences. The first house was out for sale and the other housed a design oriented man with a big appetite for young men.
Video #30: More Biennale 2009, Giardini
This video is shot in the garden - giardini of the bienalle in Venice. Yoko Onos piece was part of the main exhibition, and other pieces were part of the different international pavilions.

Video #29: Venezia la Biennale 2009, Arsenale
We visited the la biennale in Venice, Italy some weeks ago. We spent two days crawling the exhibition, and once again it was fantastic. On the biennale website the director Daniel Birnbaum explains the title and theme: “The title of the exhibition, Making Worlds, Fare Mondi, expresses my wish to emphasize the process of creation. A work of art represents a vision of the world and if taken seriously it can be seen as way of making a world.”

Video#28: Me gusta sailing
Learning to sail in the azur colored waters of Croatia was great. The sailing conditions were perfect for novises like us; good wind and calm sea. We were twelve people in two boats and sailed from Split to the beautiful islands of Hvar, Vis and Brach during one week. Trym and I didn't know anybody in advance, and I admit I was a bit sceptical, but everyone got along really well, and it was a lot of fun.

Video#27: Oslo Live 09
I attended Oslo Live Festival July 1st and listened to Karin Park, the Klaxons and 2manydjs.
I love the festival initiative, especially the 99,- Nok cover charge, but I believe some of the musical acts sounds better in a crowded, sweaty and dark club.

Hot Holiday Items
Vacation is up next, and we are going sailing in Croatia. I can only bring one bag, and I have never been one for light packing, so I am struggling big time.

Video #26: Happy Meal at Palace Grill
If you are looking for a nice place to eat in Oslo, Palace Grill should be considered. Trym and I were there the other day, and we are definitely going back soon. The well renown chefs choose new ingredients everyday, and the 10 course meal is fixed and costs Nok 950,-. You can choose a wine menu which is hand picket to compliment the menu, or you can buy bottles or by the glass. Bon Apetit!

I almost forgot all about this blog. I wish I could forget
about shopping just as easily. Until that glorious day appears, here
are my wishes for june: Acne jacket - acnestudios.com, Matthew
Williamson for H&M belt - ebay.com, Acne gladiators -
acnestudios.com, denim shorts - Forever 21, swimsuit -
Netaporter.com, shoppingbag - Bunnyhug.co.uk, sandal -
Brownsfashion.com, D&G kaftan - Mywardrobe.com,
Ray Ban wayfarer - Netaporter.com and Alexander Wang bag -
Farfetch.com. One problem: I just paid my vacation, so my
budget can hardly handle the denim shorts. They're $ 20 :-).
