A thick layer of dust seems to have settled over this corner of the internet. I feel like I'm writing into an echo chamber, hearing my own 'hello - hello - hello - hello' diminish in volume with each repetition.<br />
<br />
Lately - well, for a long time now - I've been enjoying other people's words and images far more than my own. I've felt no need to write into the void, into the echo chamber. That feeling hasn't changed, but I do miss <i>something</i> about this whole caper. Perhaps the sense of shared knowledge.<br />
<br />
So if anyone is still out there, hello. I hope you are well.<br />
<br />
This won't be regular, but for now this is what I have, with a hefty hat-tip to <a href="http://jessicastanley.com.au/">Jessica Stanley</a>, whose Read. Look. Think. is the best thing on the internet. True. Jessica is a beacon of thought and interest, go forth and follow her wherever you can. Maybe some of the following came from her? In any case, it's all been sitting in my emails and open tabs for a while.<br />

Hello. I'm still here. Just busy, as usual. Trying very hard to find the time to do things like: play space-themed mini-golf in country NSW, trawl op-shops, spend Sunday arvo's at exhibition openings in the hills, cook and bake for friends, go to the river, read, play footy in the front yard. Y'know, the kind of things that make me forget my general restlessness for a little while. <br><br><img border="0" height="300" src="http://f0.bcbits.com/z/28/26/2826887103-1.jpg" width="300" /><img border="0" height="300" src="http://f0.bcbits.com/z/40/12/4012107320-1.jpg" width="300" /><br>
In the meantime, local lads <a href="http://sparkspitter.bandcamp.com/">Sparkspitter have released their EP</a> and I can't stop listening to it. I think my favourite track is 'Ginsburger'. I can't remember if I ever told you that my long-term loves <a href="http://doedoes.bandcamp.com/">Doe had released their EP</a> too. That was a while ago, almost a year now. Well anyway, they did. I listened to it pretty religiously whilst travelling, and now so many times that I can't separate one track from another. They're both good records. Real good.steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-27886489409551869722012-01-29T12:59:00.000+10:302012-02-16T22:18:49.848+10:30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've lost half of my negatives from London. I imagine I put them somewhere 'safe' when I moved house just before Christmas.
<br><br>
I've never really loved London, but this visit was nice. London with a bit of sun on it makes for a far more enjoyable time! Not to mention London Design Week, which led me to all the nicest streets and neighbourhoods. Coffee, coffee, coffee, coffee, cupcakes, markets (OMG the Borough Market!), Saatchi, V&A, <a href="http://www.thebreakfastclubcafes.com/">The Breakfast Club</a>, <a href="http://www.fikalondon.com/">Fika</a>, <a href="http://www.flatwhitecafe.com/">Flat White</a>, <a href="http://www.monmouthcoffee.co.uk/">Monmouth</a>, the Barbican, pop up shops, tiny galleries, <a href="http://www.lookmumnohands.com/">Look Mum No Hands</a>, flying out in a jumbo jet.

<br>Oslo. I drank Norwegian beer and ate fish burgers at the harbour in the middle of a bustling food festival and market; I watched skateboarders roll up and down the front steps of the town hall; I took the train into the hills and went hiking, passing by two enormous but obviously out-of-action ski slopes; I saw a play at <a href="http://www.blackbox.no/">Black Box</a>; I saw the absolutely amazing '<a href="http://www.nasjonalmuseet.no/en/collections/absolute_installation/">Absolute Installation</a>' at the National Museum of Contemporary Art; I took a ferry ride around the fjord; I drank coffee at <a href="http://www.fuglen.no/">Fuglen</a> (where the barista was from Melbourne, go figure) and admired the wings on the bike out the front; I drank more coffee - the best of my life - at <a href="http://timwendelboe.no/">Tim Wendelboe</a>; I bought a waffle from a young girl around the corner who was making and selling them in the street (perfect English at age 10.

I can't believe I'm still doing this, still stuck in Gothenburg. In more ways than one, I suppose.
<br><br>
Life is odd at the moment. Coming out of an extended break from work. Trying to find my feet in quicksand. Appreciative of those around me. Newly twenty-three!
<br><br>
We stumbled upon the <a href="http://goteborg.biennal.org/en/">Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporay Art</a>, with the tagline 'art in a time of creativity fever'. There were some amazing pieces, like this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernesto_Neto">giant hanging bean-filled work</a>, <a href="http://www.reenakallat.com/map-drawing">a world map</a> made out of electrical wire and sound representing migration flow, and <a href="http://www.ornalexanderamundason.com/kreppa.html">a symphony</a> based on the 'voices' of the Icelandic financial collapse! <a href="http://www.rodasten.com/">Röda Sten</a>, the building under the bridge, blew me away.

Despite being close, my friend and I are very different people with very different tastes. We ended up balancing each other really well, and did lots of exploring that I otherwise would not have done by myself. (Plus, his tolerance for cafes, galleries and vintage stores seems to have exponentially grown since he lived in Adelaide; and my tolerance for trashy rappers has exponentially grown since he left!)steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-24277295230891571082011-11-25T07:57:00.001+10:302011-11-25T08:02:30.463+10:30<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayhemandmiscellany/6248188824/" title="Image0016 by mayhem&miscellany, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6112/6248188824_59c019ca10_z.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt="Image0016"></a>

At first I was disappointed with how unreliable my camera proved to be. I hardly used my digital, so these are really all I have. But I'm coming to love the quirks and the magic. In a way, it's true to life.steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-54016991944108503802011-11-21T18:00:00.000+10:302011-11-21T18:07:19.104+10:30<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayhemandmiscellany/6247648777/" title="Untitled by mayhem&miscellany, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6215/6247648777_9f43138698_z.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt=""></a>
<br>
I went to an <a href="http://digitalgallery.cphx.dk/en">exhibition</a> that radically altered my perspective on the cities that are closest to my heart. I think it's the reason why I have come back feeling they way I do about Adelaide. This place is hard work. Which is fine - I'd rather be a creator than a consumer - but it's draining. In a city like Copenhagen they're constantly looking 25 years forward, instead of only realising now in 2011 that urban sprawl, a focus on macro instead of micro, the lack of useful and inspiring public spaces, and a heavy reliance on cars is not only unsustainable but makes for a dead city. <br><br>
A visit to the old Carlsberg Brewery (accompanied by a great <a href="http://www.cphx.dk/index.php?language=uk#/487639/">podwalk</a> which you may be interested to listen to anyway) blew me away. An enormous, once-industrial space quite close to the city has been abandoned, and will take 15-20 years to redevelop into housing. We have a similar situation here in Adelaide with Bowden. Yet while Copenhagen works out exactly how to best develop it, it has opened the entire space up to start making people feel comfortable and at home in the area. Interactive artworks like the ropes; well-thought out street furniture that carefully considers the way people interact not just with the space, but each other; and a continuous stream of festivals and arts events means that by the time housing starts to spring up in Carlsberg, everyone will already feel completely at home there. Place making at its very, very best. <br><br>
I also picked up a great study on cycling in Copenhagen and was fascinated by the statistics. 68% of Copenhageners cycle at least once a week, and up to 50% use cycling as their mode of transportation to work or study. Meanwhile, when you take into account transport costs, security, comfort, branding/tourism and health factors, the net social gain of cycling in Denmark is DKK 1.22 per kilometre (20-25 cents). The cycling culture is making Copenhagen money! Comparatively, for every kilometre driven by a car, there is a net social loss of DKK 0.69.

<br>I always avoided doing touristy things the first time I was there, and always regretted not visiting Møns Klint. I left Copenhagen early one morning and travelled south by train. The train went through Roskilde, my old home, and strange as it was to be reliving that train trip, I felt very little. After that, I decided not to visit my old house on Københavnsvej, despite thinking of it every day since I left it behind. I think it is best to let at least something remain in the past.
<br><br>
Once off the train, I caught a bus to the island of Møn. I then hired a bicycle and rode 20km to the cliffs. It was sunny, breezy and perfect. Riding alone through the gently rolling countryside and the tiny towns, stopping sporadically at bakeries and antique stores, and finally cycling up through the forest to the cliffs was the freest I've ever felt. No one knew who I was or where I was. It's such a powerful feeling to feel completely disconnected from the realities of life, yet at the same time feel so incredibly happy and content.steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-66837987806447550832011-11-20T10:45:00.001+10:302011-11-20T13:10:22.269+10:30<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mayhemandmiscellany/6247653105/" title="Untitled by mayhem&miscellany, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6106/6247653105_1176bbc9b4_o.jpg" width="600" height="400" alt=""></a>

'Loppemarked' is one of my favourite words in Danish. (Flea market!)
<br><br>
I'd been dreaming of the indoor garden at the <a href="http://www.glyptoteket.dk/">Glyptotek</a> for years. I usually have little time for non-contemporary art, but I could live in that gallery forever. So beautiful.

<i>"Every morning you wake up and know that the city will be a better place." </i>-Jan Gehl on living in Copenhagen</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
This exact sentiment hit me like a truck during this visit to Copenhagen. I could just wake up enjoy the city for the wonderful, progressive, design-oriented, people-friendly place that it is. I didn't have to work hard to make things happen. I didn't have to try to create something out of nothing. I didn't have to settle for anything less than joy and wonder. And in realising that, I realised just how well suited I am to Copenhagen, and Copenhagen is to me.<br />
<br />
If you're a city nerd like I, you might like to listen to Gehl's <a href="http://adelaidefestivalofideas.com.au/cities-for-people/">recent talk in Adelaide</a> on 'Cities for People'.<br />
<br />
I know Adelaide is trying really hard at the moment, but my own enthusiasm for it is waning. I hope it picks up again soon.steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-67285321659385820232011-11-07T08:05:00.000+10:302011-11-09T08:27:27.328+10:30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Tracey Emin, <i><a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=81057">The Perfect Place To Grow</a></i>, 2001<br />

<i>"…to lose that unconditional love is a greater loss than actually losing my Dad, because it's something that I've always had, whether he's been around or not. So it's more like I've lost a feeling, which is very strange. It's left a big hole somewhere."</i></div>
</div>
<br />
I watched the <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/arts/stories/s3347606.htm">Artscape</a> interview with Tracey Emin last night and was blown away. Tracey is not only a brilliant artist, but a wonderful and warm speaker who has lived more lives than I ever will. Over the years she has developed a beautiful, logical wisdom that resonated so very strongly with me. A truly fascinating woman.<br />
<br />
Danica also recently saw it, and she writes far more eloquently than I on Tracey and her work. <a href="http://ooamouroo.blogspot.com/2011/11/tracey-emin.html">Go here</a>.steph.http://www.blogger.com/profile/09988422797624351833noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2333076206870587182.post-12467791559721674842011-10-29T19:04:00.001+10:302011-10-29T19:11:48.039+10:30<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Things I remembered: where tiny button for the doors on the S-Tog was, to put the barrier after my groceries at the checkout, to take a ticket, everything.
I was so scared of feeling like a stranger.
