Last night was the big day. The day with the non-stop concerts from five-thirty PM to one-thirty AM. And this is what my students have been working with the past four days.
Part of the large letters that spell VARME (warmth) in the alley leading up to the main entrance. (I took this picture in daylight so you could better see the details)
One of the other trees has gotten knitted hats on to keep warm!
Lots of outdoor-candles light up the entrance-area, this one is giving life to a granite sculpture.
One of the main features is this huge projected picture of fire on one of the walls. We´ve turned off all the outdoor lighting, so this really makes an impression.
Once you get inside, you are surrounded by people and music, and you might want to start dancing. There are several “people” dancing already
I guess this is what you call a multi-media-recliner. It´s placed in front of a big video-screen with non-stop dance-videos…
… which turned out to be a success. In every break between bands, a new group of people would come here and dance to different music-videos.
On the way in to the concert-area you pass the bar. It´s decorated with loads of old singles hanging from the ceiling. And over the bar -counter there´s lots of glasses hanging from the ceiling as well.
Part of the bar. They really have made this passing-through-hardly-noticing-anything-room into a real room.
Going down to the basement, is like walking onto a water world. All the toilets are down here. There is blue filter on all the lamps, and there is even water sounds here. First you walk past the big waterfall in the staircase.
This old lampshade has got a new life as a jelly-fish.
My very favorite installation is this small children´s inflatable pool filled with 10 cm of water. In the water there´s a little stool and above the stool hangs an umbrella. It is my favorite simply because it invites the viewer into and actively be a part of the installation. I can take a break from the concerts, and cool down my feet sore from wearing high-heels…
Oh, yeah. There were bands there too And about 600 people.
er litt stolt av paraplyen, ja
