Allright, Good!

I´m here now for 3 weeks and I like it!!
The buildings are nice, the nature is nice and the people are nice.
Food is expensive but dumpster diving is a good way to get cheap food.
Supermarkets here don´t put locks on their containers and they throw a lot of good food away, so we take that. It´s a pity they don´t throw alcohol in there, because it´s really really expensive here.
But maybe it´s good: I wanted to do different things than in Enschede, so not drinking to much is one of them.
I allready collected wood and the sculpture you can see on the pictures is like a warming up. I need to fix the chainsaw here, because it's totally fucked. Need to buy a new chain (offcourse with the money from school).
Tonight we are going to watch a documentary about David Nash, so I hope it will get more people interested in wood(en sculptures).
I also have some connections with the architecture department. There is one guy who wanted to show me some places where I can get wood from and maybe even can work.
I'm also participating in a art and common space workshop and we are going with the class to Istanbul the last week of March.
Also Inga is coming in April and this makes me really happy:)

And oh yeah: I will put some more photo's on my blog soon!

First sculpture

Norwegian welcome

After a good flight and no sleep the night before I arrived tired at the airport near Trondheim.
Jumping Jack Flash from the Rolling Stones was blowing into my ears.
I walked into the airport and their where two policemen with a dog.
And yeah I'm from Holland where you are surrounded with weed smoking people so the smell is in your clothes.
And that's why this dog was really happy walking after me, so three secondes later I was really happy walking after the policemen into a room.
Ohhh jippie yeahhh: This guy is from Holland let's check him really fucking good. And so they did.
I said I had nothing because I'm not that stupid to take something to Norway, but offcourse they didn't listen.
They checked every page in books, every pen, every pocket in my trousers.
Funny thing is that I took a saw, hammers, cordless drill etc.
Also in my pocket of my jacket it was a party: handfull of candy's, wood, stones, my big wisdom tooth etc.
So sometimes they look really weird.
Then they took me to a small room and I had to undress. Lucky for me (and this prick) they didn't checked my ass!
So one hour later I could go and spoke my friendly words:
I told you I had nothing!! Have a nice weekend!!

Then I went by bus to Trondheim. I wanted directly to the art academy because I had no place to sleep the first four nights.
So suddenly I recognized some buildings near the art academy (I checked it before on internet) and so the next busstop I went out.
I walked five minutes and I saw the art academy. I walked inside and I directly met the head off the academy. Lucky lucky.
They gave me a card and pincode to get into the building and the departments, because every time when you want to get in a department or for example the woodworkshop you need this card.
The academy is in a big building shared with different companies. The sculpture department is on the second floor and for example the painting department is on the sixth floor.
Also it's a labyrint but I allready know the way a little bit.
They are 70 people on this academy and every has his own studio. Their is also one exchange student from Berlin.
I met a lot of nice people allready who give me food etc. because they also have a kitchen where they make diner etc.

The problem for a room the first 4 nights is also solved: A girl from the academy give me the key for her flat, so I can stay in her room because she's all the time with her boyfriend.

So I can say I had a warm welcome in this cold country.

Four days to go..

And I will be in Trondheim, Norway for five months (or more) to go to the art academy.
Lots of things to do, but I'm really pleased to go!
