If you didn’t got a hold of any tickets this time around, you still have a chance to experience them at ØYA. It’s gonna be freakin’ epic!

Våren er her. Og jeg drømmer om varme dager og lette klær. Disse kampanjebildene for Forte Forte gjør jobben sin – jeg vil kjenne deres lette materialer mot min hud.
Du kan kjøpe Forte Forte hos Kemt i Oslo.
«an «oniric» upside down world plays with surfaces and natural forces submerges us into a whole new dimension of primordial signs and unlimited spaces.
… an incredible experience of fabrics and «mermaids» swinging and twirling, dragged in a pure passionate dance by water streams: suddenly it makes you forget you are completely underwater!»
- Forte Forte
Spring is here. And I dream of hot days and light clothing. The new campaign photos by Forte Forte certainly do their job – I want to feel their light materials against my skin.

Det er påske! Vi sier som i fjor: se «De dødes tjern« med Henki Kolstad, les krim, spill brettspill og spis godt. Uansett hvor du er. Og reflektér litt ekstra denne uka. Uansett hva du tror på.
GOD PÅSKE!
Edit: Sender de ikke »De dødes tjern» i år?!
It’s Easter! We say it like we did last year: watch «De dødes tjern» with Henki Kolstad, read books, play board games and eat good food. Wherever you are. And do some extra reflections this week. Whatever your beliefs are.
HAPPY EASTER!
Edit: Don’t they send »De dødes tjern» this year?!

The Pritzker Prize for 2013 er tildelt den japanske arkitekten Toyo Ito.
“Although Mr. Ito has built a great number of buildings in his career, in my view, he has been working on one project all along, — to push the boundaries of architecture. And to achieve that goal, he is not afraid of letting go what he has accomplished before.”
— Yung Ho Chang, Member of the Pritzker Jury for 2013.
“In the modern period, architecture has been rated highest for its originality. As a result, the most primal themes—why a building is made and for whom—have been forgotten. A disaster zone, where everything is lost offers the opportunity for us to take a fresh look, from the ground up, at what architecture really is.
“In contemporary society, I think that 99% of architecture has become the instrument for economical activities, and I am very sorry for that. Because I think that architecture is supposed to be something that links people to other people, architecture has to become a form of cooperation, a co-operational body for people. It should not be something that is controlled by economy, but that creates a relationship of trust among people. This is what architects are supposed to do when they create architecture.”
— Toyo Ito

Siden det ser ut til at vinteren ikke har tenkt til å gi seg med det første, har jeg planer om oppstart av dette prosjektet. La meg si det slik: det er med blandede følelser. For det er som overskriften sier; de er fine, men feil – hvor pokker er våren?
Since it seems like the winter don’t have any intentions to end, I’m planning on starting with this project. Let me put it like this: it’s with mixed emotions. Because it’s like the header says: they’re nice, but wrong – spring, where the heck are you?
