Discovering Oslo City


Mar.31. We left our bags and went to the Nobel Peace Centre, Listen to people from all over the world in the Register. Walked the passage of Honour, The Gallery, Nobel Filed, The Eye, The Nobel chamber, the Global room, The Wall Papers, Genesis: renewal energy sources. www.nobelpeacecenter.org There was an exhibit downstairs, called “Children of Abraham” by Abbas. “Glue Me Peace” (Grip Freden) by Meschac Gaba where you can also participate in “Thoughts on Peace”. The title is a literal translation of the African French phrase “Colle moi la paix” meaning “leave me alone”, or the more aggressive “give me a break”. Visitors are invited to leave an electronic message relating to the topic of peace. In return, the visitor receives a flag poster designed by Gaba.This act of reciprocity is an exchange between the artist and his audience, and a means by which the artwork will continually develop and grown, nurtured by the visitors’ contributions.
Another thing I noticed from the street is Giangantic Lickerish and colorful ones in Norway.
