I made a visit to the Tracy Williams Gallery on west 23 Street to see the opening of Norwegian artist Olav Christopher Jenssen. The exhibition named The Protagonist – New York edition is really a highlight and pick of the week. I missed to see some of his pieces shown at Moderna Museet in Stockholm last year and I must say I know little of Jenssens’ previous work. So the exhibition definitely gave me a warm feeling. It felt fresh without being eager to impress. I also really got a great impression of the artist, who had his hole family in the gallery helping out during the opening. He comes across like a really genuine man, something Young Art always want to lift up. Getting to see the artist behind the work makes it so much more interesting – at least to me.

Last week was all about art here in NYC. My first visit was to the Armory Show at Piers 92 & 94. Here are a pick of my favourites. Rest of the photos are now in our Flickr stream.

And here some favourites from Volta – where  a younger scen of artist are shown. I definitely found these a lot more exciting. Some truly amazing artists here.

Notice that these two next ones are drawings!!

Also Swedish artis Willem Anderson from Gallery Niklas Belenius had a few pieces on display.

These two last images from the artist EVOL are probably top 3.

This is a photograph of an installation the graffiti artist EVOL did in an old warehouse. The cubes in the picture are at knee hight. The building is now destroyed.

Phew. For even more photos check out the links or our Flickr.

“I love old photos. I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… A few months ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.” Irina Werning photographer

Kände att jag var absolut tvungen att sprida detta fina fotoprojekt. Fler bilder hittar du här!

Using Google’s street view Red Bulls latest project Street Art View enables you to tag your local street art and in return let people find them from anywhere around the globe. By tagging yourself and adding images to the location this is aiming to become “the biggest art collection in the world”. Even though Google’s street view doesn’t give you a crystal clear image the rough style gives a nice touch to the project. It’s pretty cool to zoom in on Banksy or even stuff from your own street. Check it out.

I går tog jag långlunch och tittade förbi Elisabeth Ohlson Wallins fotoutställning på Södra Teatern. Utställningen vid namn Jerusalem består av 14 foton av homosexuella, bisexuella och transpersoner. Bilderna är tagna i staden som bär utställningens namn och rymmer judendomens, kristendomens och islams syn på HBT-personer. Om ni hinner, spring dit idag, 1, för att det är sista dagen utställningens visas och 2, för alla behöver en långlunch emellanåt.
