Gunilla Bandolin

Gunilla Bandolin was a tutor I had briefly at Konstfack in Stockholm, a very interesting lady. I went to see a piece she had created in Stockholm, a floating sculpture/interactive wooden piece. It is beautifully made and constructed, and my favourite part is that you can see it in Google maps aerial view!






Fotografiska


About a month ago i visited Fotografiska and there were two exhibitions that really interested me, the first exhibition was by Edward Burtynsky who's TED talk i posted a few months ago. The theme of his work is nature being transformed by industry. His exhibition consisted of large prints of ariel views of industrial landscapes that had obtained a strange beauty from their destruction.



The other exhibition was by a lady Eleanor Coppola titled Circle of Memory. The exhibition is a reconstruction of a stone circle in ireland, made from large prints of the stone and straw bales. She had created a sense of place and an environment that reflected the original stone circle site.

Canon AE1




Some images from last summer from my Canon AE1, need to experiment more with this camera, and hopefully build a mini dark room in august to explore using and developing film...

Richard Long TREAT!




While in berlin i went to the Hamburg Banhof a contemporary art gallery. To my delight there was a Land Art exhibition showing, which featured Richard Long. I have been so keen on land/site specific art and never had the opportunity to see an exhibition, was so pleased i got the chance in Berlin.

Berlin East Side Gallery

Last week i was in Berlin, and it was fantastic, i loved it. It was full of life colour and something of interest around every corner. One of Berlin's most famous landmarks is its Wall or what remains of it, here are some images from the East side gallery which is part of the Wall that still remains that has been turned into an open air gallery.

Printed Building

This building is near where i live in Stockholm (Telefonplan). Not sure if i like it or not the building is pretty damn ugly and the pattern of the image is poorly thought out, however i do like the image used, and i like the idea of printing on concrete, or transfers, however they did it. It reminds me of the etchings i printed into plaster!
