Video workshops in Norwegian schools
Filming and recording a selection of poems for a school study book published by Aschehoug publishers yesterday. Got a little shock when I saw the filming of myself and realised I didn't look or hear like a 28 year old cheeky young man anymore!
working up some designs for silk screen printed poetry posters
workshops at museum of modern art, oslo.
working with Blindern vidergående skole today. Nice group. working on architecture and thoughts around public and private spaces. Prisons and bank vaults! All mixed colour papers and mixed colour pens. They are so used to the screen, they wow themselves, actualy making their own book, with their own thoughts in. Some were not sure they were 'allowed' to take it home. Was 'their' book, really theirs to take home? one of them asked.
book repair season begins again
Thanks to a rat, which slipped into someone's personal library, I got a series of new repair jobs; starting with Erling Okkenhaug's family heirlooms, which were partially eaten by a rat. The rat survived, and the books look better than they have for a long time.
As with all things, this job started a minor wave of similar activity.
Album cover completed!
limited edition silk screen printed album covers for Lars Lervik's Hvis det virkelig var.
recording stories
yesterday I recorded 'The godfather stories' about my Godfather, Buckminster fuller. These recordings, in english and norwegian, will go on tour with a geodisk dome workshop in counties all over norway, for the next six years.
Brian's ink desk
Screen printing a limited edition album box set for Lars lervik. With unique help from Brian in his studio. Couldn't have done it without him. Thanks....
