owen the museet curator

after spending the morning waiting around for DHL (who never came) and dealing with foreign shipping paperwork and navigating tourbus and cruiseship traffic to pick up pullups and other essentials we indulged in our last piece of rosemari's moka cake and went to the kube to check out janniche & her sister lilian's exhibit "stoppested jante" --a visual de-mystification of the scandanavian law of jante. they play with the grey area between sticking-your-neck-out and sticking-your-neck-in-the-sand and the result is a larger than life commentary that at the very least has owen dancing around monolith medalions and peeking through statues. there was also a mini-version of the scandanavian design in the milennium exhibit which i must confess felt a bit like a high end ikea showroom. the most fun for owen though was the rhythm 69 william morris/art nouveau exhibit. but i'll let owen show you around:

here's a loose captioning: after owen muses on the pictures,"those are sculptures mama" (we had just left the sculpture room) he does some counting and points out some cauliflowers i ask him which is his favorite and he runs up to a white floral print "cause there's flowers on it." he then quickly runs across the room and tells me "this is a button" pointing to a circle on the floor. owen then explains "when you push a button the pictures will turn red and when the pictures turn while there will be flowers." now if that isn't propaganda on why children SHOULD be allowed to run amok among art. . .
