Tourist attraction
..and more on the designing Wille Våge sisters’ childhood home. Link in bio —

The workshop on the lower side of the road, down by the waterfront was once a shop called Frølandsbua. The Shed, as the owners call it, is the smallest house on the property and served as storage space. Today it’s a combination of a boathouse and gazebo where the family Wille Våge can sit late into the night with good food and drinks, enjoying lofty conversations and classical music turned all the way up ... Dressed in flowing robes and bright colours, they are almost a tourist attraction in themselves, as people passing through the yard catch a glimpse of them eating breakfast down by the water around noon.. #willevåge #sæbø #hjørundfjorden #pernillewillevåge #anemonewillevåge @cardsome2014 @willeanemone #interiordesign #worldofinteriors #thechromarty

Nora Hagfors answers some quick questions on the C today. - moving from the haut couture in Paris Interiors to breaking up the Norwegian cool, always with a smile. The Chromarty loves the interior architect Nora Hagfors #interiordesign #thechromarty #interiorarchitect #oslolove #norahagfors

A handful of soil ..And then, fast-forward half a century, to the childlike wonder and insistence that appears in his eyes behind the science teacher-like glasses when I ask about the cake-tray. -I’ve always been interested in figuring out what goes on right below our feet – have brought out my magnifying glass and let myself really spend time looking at a kind of macro-level of existence. To be an artist, a term which now seems as good as any other to describe what I am and do, is to have the privilege to really spend time immersing myself in the minutiae of day to day life and specifically nature.
To a visitor, it sounds simple, the basic coordinates of an active life, of looking and creating, but Sørensen tells me that some years back, he had a real watershed moment, something which he didn’t realise until later had an enormous impact on his life and work.
A longer interview with the painter Thorbjørn Sørensen is being published today on the Chromarty. #thorbjørnsørensen #gallerik #painting #contemporaryart #watercolour #fromnature #thechromarty

-THAT’S WHY I ALWAYS GO CLASSIC WHEN I CHOOSE THE BUILDING I WANT TO LIVE IN. I AM SOMEWHAT NOSTALGIC ABOUT, AND HAVE A CERTAIN WEAKNESS FOR, PREVIOUS ARCHITECTONIC STYLES AND HISTORIC PERIODS. AND EVEN THOUGH I AM A BIG FAN OF MODERNIST IDEOLOGY - WITH THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF A CERTAIN QUALITY OF LIVING FOR ALL AND SO ON, - I JUST HOPE WE HAVEN’T STRIPPED ALL THE NICE ‘BITS’ AWAY JUST YET. WE COULD KEEP SOME OF THE INHERENT QUALITIES OF THE PROPORTIONS, MATERIALITY AND ORNAMENTATION OF EARLIER PERIODS. I MEAN, WHY NOT? UNFORTUNATELY THOUGH, WE MAY JUST HAVE TAKEN IT A BIT TOO FAR. THE REGULATIONS AND SQUARE METER PRICES OF OSLO RESTRICT PEOPLE INTO HAVING TO RESIDE IN SMALL SHOE BOXES LACKING IN SOUL.

Det ble ikke rivning. Huset var et av de eldste i området og Byantikvaren satte foten ned. Bygningen ble overtatt av Oslo Byfornyelse som på 1980 tallet ble opprettet av kommunen for å rehabilitere forslummet bygningsmasse i indre by. De bestemte at kunstnere og kunst-håndverkere skulle overta den gamle fabrikken. Mange hadde vært innom, og mistet motet-før jeg kom innom. Til slutt var vi en gjeng som slo til. Det tok drøyt et årsverk å få det meste i brukbar stand. Nabobygget skulle rives for å slippe lys og luft inn i den trange bakgården. I forkant av rivningen, kunne vi hente materialer og bygningselementer. For oss var det et lykketreff. Gulvbordene, for eksempel, var av en kvalitet du ikke i dag kan kjøpe for penger. De ble til nye gulv, bordplater og det som trengtes av treverk. Varevinduene ble til vitrineskap og en glassvegg mot støv og løsemidler.. Skuffer, skap og halvparten av et bord, ble kjøkkenbenk.... read the rest of Kalle Grude’s own text on @the_chromarty #thechromartypreserves #oslobyfornyelse #kunsterhjem #contemporaryart #architecture #artisthome #oslolove #gjenbruksdesign

SOPHIE CALLE, M'AS TU VUE did you see me? #internationalwomensday #sophiecalle #thechromarty

The Chromarty knocked on Kaja’s door just before Christmas, the day after they’d had a big party at their house. Luckily, she opened the door, and invited us in for a warming cup of tea. Anyways, our car was stuck in the driveway outside, covered as it was in ice whereas their old muddy and worn Land Rover from the 90’s was parked behind me, unable to escape! Kaja Klingenberg lives with artist Alexander Westberg and their two boys. They live in a white-washed brick house that I’d seen numerous times from my window seat on the city tram in Oslo. The house was drawn up by Henrik Nissen in 1920, and is of specific interest to those familiar with the artists and crowd surrounding Christian and Oda Krohg, the original Christiania Bohemians. The villa was commissioned by Alexandra Thaulow, herself an artist, the widow of artist Fritz Thaulow and Oda Krohg’s sister.
This is not one of those houses, where designers and architects don’t feel the need to start all over again to make it their own, but rather move in with their boho-chic tails behind them.

....’We need that. Beauty, that is. There is safety in it.
Beauty invites us to look, to scour the scene, to enjoy. One thing I have learned over the last five years is that not everything has to be heart-wrenching and lead to asphyxiation and destruction. Sometimes beauty is simply about presence, about being in the world and not being overwhelmed, not being constantly afraid of losing one’s grip. Because if our condition is to always be face-to-face with oblivion, it is also to brush up against presence.’... from Morten Andenæs review on Tom Sandberg’s show in Copenhagen at Nils Stærk for The Chromarty and Objektiv Journal. @nilsstaerk @objektivjournal @the_chromarty #mortenandenæs #tomsandberg #nilsstærk #theartistispresent #artphotography #contemporaryart #oslcontemporary link in bio

ABOUT BEING RESET, AND THE STORY OF TWO FEMALE ARTISTS, ANN IREN BUAN AND MARTHE RAMM FORTUN WHO UNDRESSED GUSTAV VIGELAND 75 YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH, IN HIS OWN MUSEUM.
Tripadvisor, or….. Well, the idea was initially to describe the rooms of Vigelands museum. His apartment, the interiors, the bathroom where his robe still hangs on the wall. It was to be a short and sweet description with seductive images of modernist architecture, colours and Gustav Vigeland’s sculptures,- and, well, instead, it ended up in Hitler’s bathtub reminding me of my longstanding fascination with Lee Miller. -Link in bio #martherammfortun #annirenbuan #leemiller #oslolove #hometowntourism

We have interviewed professor Synne Skjulstad on www.thechromarty.com Showing Seabling on our very own online catwalk. -There seems to be an overwhelming amount of rubbish out at sea, how can Synne possibly think that they can make a difference? -Haha, I obviously don’t think that the way we view plastic debris as little gems here in our pink sitting room, is going to save the world. However, we may be able to contribute towards ‘how’ people look at the little pieces soon hanging on people’s ears or around their necks. We add a sign to the discourse, rather than a pointed finger. You know, people know, how can they not.. This summer, as we sat on the beach and I had a closer look at the little pebbles, the sand, the fallen rocks around me, I realised that what I in fact thought were little stones, turned out to be plastic? Now, and this is interesting, not to say frightening, at the same time there is a certain beauty to it...when I picked up this little piece of what I thought was an intact shell by my sneaker, I realised only moments later, by the weight and feel against my skin, that what I had picked up was really an imitation of a seashell made out of plastic...How ironic indeed. #marinedebris #thechromarty #seabling @seablingsta #jewellrydesign #synneskjulstad #nopointedfingers #hoddevik #bling #oslolove #contemporaryart #rescuechic

‘The lost Colours’. A feature of Espen & Lisa’s apartment in a moderistic high-rise in Oslo. Coming Saturday, it will be on print in Aftenposten, (already online) written by @elisabethaarhus and today the Chromarty is telling the artist Espen Gleditsch own tale of how the colours all moved in with them.. as a direct result of his artistic practice. #thechromarty #aftenpostenbolig #espengleditsch #themodernhouse #contemporaryart #contemporaryhomes #modernism #highrise #bauhaus #victorschaulund

....Not wanting to spend too much on it, interior architect Kjersti Hoel realised that she didn’t need to invest in any furniture or artworks as these were already in storage in the attics and basements of both her homes. A self-proclaimed hoarder, Kjersti could simply scour all the objects she has accumulated over time, from markets, travels, auctions and the online shop ‘form and function’ run by her friends Darrel And Ulrika. So, - as she was celebrating a big O and made plans to throw a party for friends of hers in the industry, architects, interior architects and designers, she decided it was time to bring it up a notch and paint the whole apartment green. Two shades of green that is. In combination with all her nick-knacks, her clutter and objects of desire that continually pass through her home, perhaps on their way to some undefined ‘project’ - the ‘jealous’ green backgrounds covering the walls and the ceilings, have created an enveloping blanket of healing powers. #thechromarty #romlaboratoriet #yblokka #interiordesign #designinterior #unstyled #green #contemporaryhomes #nordic architecture #nordicnoir #interiorarchitect #lindern #paintmagic

IMMEDIATELY I’M PUT IN MIND OF A REPORTAGE PUBLISHED IN T-MAGAZINE A FEW MONTHS BACK. THE ANGLES, THE WAY THE LIGHT IS REFLECTED AND FILTERED THROUGH THE COLOURS AND MATERIALS OF A HOUSE DESIGNED BY FILMMAKER AND DESIGNER LUCA GUADAGNINO, My FAVOURITE DIRECTOR THESE DAYS, BY FAR. I’M REMINDED OF I AM LOVE FROM 2009, HIS BREAKTHROUGH FILM FEATURING TILDA SWINTON, SET IN VILLA NECCHI CAMPIGLIO, ONE OF MILANO’S MODERNIST DREAMHOUSES. WHICH IN TURN GOT ME THINKING THAT MARIE BUSKOV’S WORKS, THESE ABSTRACT PLANES THAT SOMEHOW, MYSTERIOUSLY BECOME SPACES, HAVE A KINSHIP TO THE SAME EXTENDED ITALIAN FAMILY AS THE ABOVEMENTIONED DIRECTOR, AND MIGHT EASILY HAVE FIGURED AS STUDIES FOR, OR STUDIES FROM, AN UPDATED OR CONCOCTED ITALIAN MODERNISM. We sre fortunate to have had Marie Buskov say YES to us, and on our website www.thechromarty.com there is an an exhibition made especially for us, accompanied by her own words. ‘An abststraction made flesh’. #oilpastell #thechromarty #contemporaryart #mariebuskov #collage #aquarelle #galleririis #tildaswinton #villanecchi #architecture #carloscarpa #nordicminimalism Next saturday 24th Marie Buskov is opening her first solo show in the annexe at galleri Riis. @mariebuskov @galleririis

Update on the Chromarty website. Critique of Nina Strand’s new book ‘Residency’....................................... ‘But first you need to attend FIAC. You ask an artist if he’s worked a lot on the piece he’s showing, not thinking that your question might be insulting. You just keep on talking about your own projects. You might even be spitting a little while talking. he’s so handsome, you’ve completely lost control’. #ninastrand #residency #thechromarty #fiac #contemporaryart #paris #citéinternationale Then ‘You get a grip at the after party. You are stepping on the duct tape on the floor-it’s probably art. And since the sofa might also be an installation, you stay standing up’. #booklaunch of RESIDENCY by Nina Strand at Fotogalleriet on saturday at 5 o clock. @fotogalleriet_oslo @fffotografer @strandfotos
