I got a tip on an exhibition in Gothenburg from one of our designers!

We want to share a tip about an upcoming exhibition at Urban Artroom in Gothenburg.
This time works by a group of young artists are shown. They have got together to create interesting paintings, sculptures, sketches and photos of street expressions!

The vernissage is February 2. See flyer here

Are you in a cultural mood today? Then it might be the perfect day to visit an exhibition! There is actually one interesting by Chitra Ganesh going on in Gothenburg!

Chitra Ganesh, of Indian origin, born and brought up in the USA, now exhibits her works in Scandinavia for the first time. This visually vibrant exhibition features a generous selection of works in drawing, video, photography, and collage. In addition, a range of works will be produced exclusively for Göteborgs Konsthall. Her works are centered on mythologies and epic narratives of Hindu, Greek, and Buddhist origin as well as more contemporary visual expressions from Bollywood, 1960s psychedelia, science fiction, feminist fanzines, and comic books. Ganesh narrates a space where myth encounters history.

Visit the exhibition until 30 September 2012

Street art has got its own gallery in Gothenburg! At Friggagatan 21 Viktor Byhr has his gallery which he calls a “stop shop” for unique art that will give your home the right urban touch. Viktor hope that even those who don’t use to shop at art galleries will come and visit him.

One of my colleagues has been there and thinks it’s really worth a visit! (She has also taken the pictures above).

Feel like dropping by? Urban Artroom is open 6 days a week (closed for dog walking 15-16 though), admittance is free and as Viktor says: animals, children and art byers are all equally welcome.

Latest artist on stage: Jenny Wilson. Isn't she cool!?

As Vagabonds we find this exhibition about people's motivation to travel around in the world rather interesting. "Destination X" offers a grand mix of objects, contemporary art, film, photo and personal stories about the dream of another life - elsewhere. It's about tourists and migrants, global families, business travellers, refugees and adventurers. Do you think it sounds interesting too? The exhibition at the Museum of World Culture in Gothenburg will continue until December 2011.

This weekend the annual music festival Way out West was held in the city centre of Gothenburg... With a line-up consisting of Wu Tang Clan, La Roux, M.I.A, Iggy Pop, The XX, Mumford & sons, Glasvegas among others, and all tickets (25 000) sold out, the success was once again a fact! Above are some of the good-looking party people that was visiting! Who's your favourite?

Yesterday evening, my partner in crime, Marie and I presented the SS10 collection and talked further about Vagabond and the present campaign at Gothia Towers in Gothenburg. The "audiance"? The best store staff there is! If you´re in Gothenburg make sure to visit the skybar heaven 23, with the "world" famous shrimp sandwich and a panoramic wiev over the city. Now we are on our way to Malmo!

After a weekend of hard work, Vagabond is about to re-open the Vagabond store in Gothenburg. The store has earlier been run by another company but from today on Vagabond will be running it ourselves. So, if you are in Gothenburg, make sure to drop by Kungsgatan where the store is filled with news and Marie and her collegues will take good care of you. WELCOME!
