Saturday 19.11. was the day of R-open in all municipalities in the south
part of Rogaland except Stavanger. I had a look in Sandnes. I visited Nils Rostad's studio with maybe the best sea view in Sandnes. And I spent a lot of time at Stasjon K, a labyrinth of the old fire station and town
hall/cinema, in the same building as the Kinokino culture venue. There
I had the pleasure of seeing and talking about the works by the many
artists, hearing the brilliant sound sculpture by Nils-Thomas Økland,
and watching Turi Gramstad Oliver doing magic in making paper. After this wonderful place my mind was full, and I did not
make it any further.
Great view from the studio of Nils Rostad
