Sandnes, Norway
Open artist studios in Rogaland county
www.r-open.no
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
