Went to the first part of Wetterling Gallery‘s 30 year anniversary exhibition last night. Its a nice compilation of pop art, I particularly liked that Frank Stella was given so much space with his sculptures. I wonder if people think about how much Björn (the gallery owner) has influenced the swedish art scene, both in terms of showing inspiring art and triggering the buying/selling market. I think swedes in particular sees the commercial art market as something negative largely due to our political history. Feels a bit naive. Lets put that in contrast with Damien Hirsts recent auctions…

BONs creative director Michael Elmenbeck was playing records. I havnt had a chance to look at their redesign properly yet, just a quick look the other day. So far it feels good, more creative, like it did a couple of years ago. I have a couple of pictures in there, go look.
As for creativity in general, I think we are going to see more of it in the near future. When economy goes down, creativity goes up, doesnt it? Less money, better ideas. I hope so, its about time.
