Hipster Grünerløkka is the best place to take a break from the sharp edges of Oslo’s waterfront. Up here, 15 minutes by tram from Oslo Central station, garden squares and low-rise, 19th-century architecture show off the city’s softer edge, while pavement cafés slow its pace. Start with a fruity light-roasted coffee at Tim Wendelboe, then browse the shops near Olaf Ryes Plass — including the leafy florist and fashion boutique Luck and the vintage furniture emporium InventariumInventarium Check the programme at Dansens Hus, Norway’s home of modern dance, too.”

He highlights videoworks by J.D.Beltran and as seen here Elspeth Diederix’s photograph bmw/2003 corporate art at seawww.elpethdiederix.com The Shipping News : “Drømmenes Reiser” by Per Krohg was originally commissioned for the Dining Room at M/S Bergensfjord, which sailed for Den Norske Amerika Linjen 1956 – 1971. After 40 years in storage, the painting has now a new life onboard Fjord Line’s new M/S Bergensfjord. Per Krohg is known to a wider public for the mural he created for the United Nations Security Council Chamber, located in the UN building in New York City. Closer to home he is known for his monumental Works in Folketeateret , at Sjømannskolen and the City Hall of Oslo among others. “Drømmenes Reiser” was the last of the several commissions Krohg did on ships between 1938 – 1956, and to my knowledge the only one that is preserved.
