maia's work at the sound gallery...
artist/designer from columbia

16mm film

random

works 1mby 1m, oil on canvas. for consignment in a gallery in bergen.
the long line.. this nattjazz (means night jazz) attracts the entire bergen population. the pass are not cheap. 10 days is 1500kor( Sin$ 400) , 1 day pass is 390kor(sin$100) . they are doing very well... every night at USF, I see crowds flooding in... music is the big thing here... compared to art, and the reason is jazz is pure entertainment and a social gathering, with drinks..
solargraphy-a project started by a professor in finland. this pinhole tracks the path of the sun. i have done some in singapore and these are in bergen. a work by an artist from germany, he inflates the balloon himself and sends them to anyone who is keen to collaborate. the trick is to burst the balloon and take a pic and email him.

nattjazz 20-30 may 2009

kafe klippers- the most scenic and best cafe in bergen. the food is not great but the view is unbeatable!
the shelf has many catalogs of artists in usf.

17 may 2009-norway national day

check out the customs they are wearing... on this day, many men and women dressed up in traditional dress... interesting , the men looked much better than the women, the custom made them looked pregnant and quite unflattering.



we celebrated after the performance with wine as I showed my works at the kafe klippers. i got a free house wine and any meal on the menu.
