The polar express

Thursday:
Strolled over to the Nordic embassies with Modesty (my insider at the Uzbekische Geheimdienst) for the opening of the Northern Cities photo art exhibition. I've seen too much contemporary art to be generally optimistic, but some of this was quite good. It's a workshop project with stops in way-up-north cities like Oulo, Tromsö and Murmansk. Most interesting, contentwise as well as technically, was Swedish Julia Peirone. She's already been picked by Swedish gallerist Andreas Brändström. Not surprisingly, since he has a very good eye. Congratulations, she'll sell. (Check her book "Blind smek min kind", beautiful.)
