There was so much to see and experience at “Supermarket: The Stockholm International Art Fair— that one could easily suffer from sensory overload. Clever ideas, colorful and engaging conceptual art projects provided great entertainment value, but not necessarily a big emotional impact. One clever idea was the “Foreign Exchange” project presented by the QWERTY art [...]
Let’s put Dads on the runway
The first-ever “Strut: The Fashionable Mom Show” took place earlier this week at Lincoln Center in New York City near the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week’s tents. Moms walked down the catwalk pushing strollers or proudly showing off the swelling bellies of pregnancy, according to a news story about the event by wire service AP. To stage [...]

There is, to recycle the title of an old Led Zeppelin tune, a whole lotta art going on. This weekend art lovers in the Swedish capital can gorge themselves on not one but TWO huge art extravaganzas. One is called Market, and takes place at the Royal Swedish Academy of Fine Arts. The second is [...]

I would love to be on the Mediteranean island of Ibizia right about now. The weather isn’t too bad here in Stockholm— just slightly below freezing with a light snow on the ground– but the dark days get me down sometimes. I want to bury my frozen toes in some warm sand and listen to the sound of waves hitting the shore. [...]

Tags: Bonniers Konsthall, film as art, Marco Brambilla
The idea behind the exhibit A Trip to the Moon which opened last night at Bonniers Konsthall in Stockholm sounds great on paper: The exhibit aims to explore the love affair between art and film. Unfortunately, the art projects presented comprised mainly of moving images on multiple TVs and individual large screens were incomprehensible if one did [...]
Champagne collection By Malene Birger
In the soft light of twelve gigantic chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling in a massive hall in Copenhagen, celebrites and a small clique of privleged stylemakers sat in front seats separated by small tables covered with white linin. Most of the audience at the Friday evening show– including yours truly– stood watching in a mob from the sidelines as slender [...]

Josefin Strid has recently been to New York and this American experience can surely be seen in her design of a men’s collection. Exaggerated shoulders in her leather shirts give slender Swedish boys the strength of a hard-hitting baseball player. Triangle scarves let them preserve the youthful charm of a Boy Scout. Her show during Stockholm Fashion [...]
