 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.

 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. Review © 2007, Wcities |
