ONE SIXTY TWO / vip west community











I HAVE FOUND SOME COMMUNITIES for Vixton at Facebook. I watched the Vasterort group and the Vallingby group aimed for the 200.000 people living in West Stockholm. I watched a discussion day at TV this week, from the Swedish State Board for Living (Boverket). There was some wague hints that the western part of Stockholm could be understood as a separate community or city. The country side land areas have been adopted by Stockholm from private land owners in a very special manner in the 1900ies.

By the way, Vixton postcodes starts at one sixty two (162) and an informal group called Vixton Personalities (VIP) is a virtual comunity for pseudo or anti celebreties comming from or living in Vixton. Maybee we could have a walk of fame for the overlooked heroes of Vixton. It’s like Stureplan but something completely different. Benny Andersson of ABBA was from Vallingby Vixton I have learned right now.

ART & CULTURE / weekend

THE CULTURE HOUSE AND CITY CENTRE the Stairways (Trappan), an old worn functionalistic modernistic public building with serveral halls in different levels like a big stairway, is under discussion by the local politicians with the objective and aim to facelift it. Thats really good news I think. I also have mailed the city that promissed to clean up the monumental Vixton symbol, the concrete sculpture the Sun Clock by Sven Holmström (1924- living at Las Palmas, Mallorca).

Play it again Stefan. Today the bluesmen Touch of blues will deliver an outdoor concert at the Stairways entrance. An art vernisage will be held at 12.00 inside. It is called ”Oil and Collage” by artist Bengt Bergström who also will entertain on the piano. At the Art Gallery Plaisiren at the Nordic Culture Centre Hasselby Castle the finnish culture association Nyansen has an exhibition. Open: 12.00–16.00.

“From first to last. Something always fires the light that gets in your eyes. That flashes in and fades in the summer sky. You can do a lot in a life time. First you got to last” (Neil Peart 1989)

If you want to read about art and culture why not check out Financial Crimes Weekend Art Edition. Or check up Kulturnets art department or buy a book from Thames and Hudson World of Art

I searched for a position as designer at an Art Publishing company called IPG claiming that “[…]I’m madly engaged in art and design” Yeah sounds like crap, but it’s true.
