The food exchange

Me and my friend Myrna, http://mybitsnpieces.tumblr.com/ have started a recipe exchange together now whilst I am in Rotterdam. We each send a recipe to the other person who then makes it. The result is put on this blog. We hope to later put together some sort of publication when we are together in the same spot. Until now it works as a great food inspiration for me, I hope it will do the same for you when checking it out!

Digital example of how I hope one of my months will look like for the calender I am currently making. The potato print is made with etching and the type (which is now digital) will be screen printed on top. I am excited to start screen printing, will hopefully do that on Monday.

Really nice video for a campaign called Start UK, which is all about sustainability. The film was produced by 1:2:3, http://1-2-3.cc/

I’m going to Berlin tomorrow. Am really excited. These are some photographs from my last visit there, in September last year. 

Been in the printing room all day today. Managed to make quite a few etching prints of the vegetables for my calender. This is a butternut squash that I made last week with lino. It is exciting to sort of see it more coming together. Does still have quite a lot to do left but I am hopeful it will work.

I am going to Berlin in a couple of days. So excited! Found this iPad app the other day which is a city guide to Berlin done by Doberman, a Swedish design cultancy. It is made out of a lot of bits and bobs that they’ve found when being there. It is in Swedish so if you speak the language it is definitely worth having a look if you’re visiting the city any time soon.

Cultural Supermarket is the final outcome after having researched budget cuts for art and culture that are proposed to happen in the future in Rotterdam and the Netherlands. The book is an investigation into how cultural institutions are offering more for their visitors. Both the current situation but also how this could develop in the future. To read more about and to see more images, please visit my website: http://fannywnilsson.com/

Went to Amsterdam last weekend and walked passed this shop. It was closed but had a little peek through the window and it looks like they have a lot of inspirational and beautiful things. I will definitely come back another day when it is open. Visited their website where you can see a collection of things they sell and do. Have a look: http://typique.nl/TYPIQUE.html

I went to CBK in Rotterdam the other day, a centre for art in the city. Their current exhibition is called Secret Garden and the whole place is turned into a sort of garden. Plants in the windows and fake grass on the floor. Part of the space is a gallery with paintings, sculptures and photographs by different artists. This part is partly integrated with the shop in which you can buy a lot of different kinds of designed objects. As for example these plates. Worth a visit if you’re in Rotterdam. Most of their website is unfortunately only in Dutch. http://www.cbk.rotterdam.nl/?a=menu-1&id=596

Went to Museum Straat Delfshaven, in Rotterdam, this weekend. Five museums in Rotterdam had selected a few artefacts that were exhibited in five different private homes or places. At each of these locations someone from the museum was present who could tell you more about the museum and the things exhibited that day. It was a really nice experience as I found out more about some museums I’ve never been and it was exciting to see different people’s homes. The Maritiem museum was shown in a boat in which you were only allowed five people at a time. There they talked about old navigation systems and showed a really old book, from the 17th Century about people’s travels to the East. They will do this again this weekend but in a different location, unfortunately it is only in Ducth but it is worth checking out: http://www.museumstraat.nl/
