Atelier AFACAN

The work of the Turkish Nerdrum student

Kirkeveien 49
Oslo 0368
Norway
+47 23 33 0295

The Turkish-born artist Eser Afacan came to Norway in 1974, and was inspired by famous Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum to start his own career. Even though his period as a student of Nerdrum's only lasted for six months, it is not difficult to see where his inspiration comes from. Afacan's paintings have received attention from galleries in the USA, Japan and Turkey. In addition to the paintings, there are also drawings and lithographical work for sale.

Betong

Heavy basement stuff Slemdalsvn. 7
Oslo 0369
Norway
+47 22 85 6372
http://www.betong.as Betong is located in the basement of Chateau Neuf, a five-floor building owned by the students at Oslo University. The building itself is worth a tour, with all its hidden bars and concert areas(where Betong offers larger concerts and gigs). These give you the freedom to move around in the building and get a taste of everything that's going on. Betong, meaning concrete in Norwegian, is exactly what you get. Dark concrete walls, sparse lighting and a bit of that, "after-the-bomb" feel. They often stage high-quality DJs and bands, including some unknown, up-and-coming-ones.

Colosseum

The best cinema in Oslo Fr. Nansensvei 6
Oslo 0369
Norway
This is the, "grand cinema" of Oslo, just a five-minute walk from Majorstuen underground station. The old, heritage listed building with its characteristic dome has recently been refurbished. Colosseum is a multiplex with four screens; the grand hall with a digital TXH sound system is perhaps the cinema in Oslo that gives the best and most thorough movie experience. There is a café and kiosk.
