Looking for donations for an exhibition version of ‘Vaasa in Luck’: any special objects that you do not need anymore but would like to see in Kuntsi (Museum of Modern Art, Vaasa, Finland) are welcome! There, the objects will be available for exchange at the ‘To have – to own’ exhibition (3 December 2011 – [...]
In the closing performance we all cheered – for “Vaasa in Luck”, for the objects, for the successful exchanges, for everybody who took part. So I would like to share this with you – this here goes to everybody out there, good luck!! cheering for luck
“Vaasa in Luck” is over. I’m going home. This is what is left from the exchanges after the closing performance, this is what gold can become. Lucky me, it’s easy to carry and does not cause any worries.
Dear all, only a few days for trading are left and I am very close to being “as fortunate as nobody else under the sun”! The current objects on offer: a booklet on Ingmar Bergman (in German), a soft toy key ring, a pack of coffee, a pencil case and a badge. Anything you want [...]
This has been a weekend of great luck: I got a lamp for an umbrella, and then some coffee for the lamp. I got a pencil case for a concert ticket. And a badge for a reflector. Sitting in my studio, drinking coffee, reading on Ingmar Bergman, taking notes. Wearing a badge, reminding me that [...]
My luck is not ending – new selection of objects on offer: a red umbrella, a booklet on Ingmar Bergman (in German), a key ring with a soft toy (seal), a reflector in the shape of a teddy bear for the dark days and a concert ticket for the Vaasa city orchestra, next Thursday, 22.9., [...]
Lucky me – first I had ONE blu-ray player and now I have FIVE objects: a white cup, a bag, one book about snowflakes, one booklet about Ingmar Bergman (in German) and one red umbrella! The perfect selection for rainy weather like this. You can have any of these objects or all of them together [...]
Luck is really coming quickly to me these days – today I got a blu-ray player for my bike! What a relief after all the exhausting outdoor activity. So tonight I will have a movie night at my studio: 9pm, everybody welcome!
After the theme of vehicles the chain of exchanges seems to move towards the technological realm: For my blue bike I have been offered a blu ray player and an old Ibook. If you are interested in the bike, hurry up – it might be gone soon!
My new offer to you: a blue bike! Anything less valuable you would like to trade for it?
Today SUNNY found a new owner. And lucky me got something that I can drive much better – a bike! In my favourite colour – blue!
“Sunny Yesterday my life was filled with rain Sunny You smiled at me and really eased the pain The dark days are gone and the bright days are here My Sunny one shines so sincere Sunny one so true, I love you” (Bobby Hebb)
I am still enjoying my weekend with SUNNY, my first ever car, and a few offers have come in: a laptop, a Nissan Micra and a CD player. Perhaps SUNNY can become your first car? Or second, third, fourth…. Make an offer! Only a couple of days left.
The gold has been turned into a Nissan Sunny (1992) – the next object on offer! Anything less valuable you would like to trade for it?
More offers have come in for the gold: a professional photo shooting, an Iphone and a car. It was not an easy decision at all – but I am now the proud owner of a red Nissan Sunny! At least until it is traded for something less valuable. If you are interested in any of [...]
The first offers for my gold are coming in: silver jewellery, an oil painting and accommodation for a week in a holiday house in Thailand. If you want to make any offers for the gold, there’s still time until Wednesday afternoon. Then I will decide what will be the next object for “Vaasa in Luck”! [...]
I have the gold! It consists of the following pieces, including an engagement ring for a wedding that never took place, a little Jesus that suddenly appeared in the house and nobody knew where it had come from, my mother-in-law’s golden tooth. On Thursday evening Tobias Mellberg melted all the pieces into one lump – [...]
As the gold price is crazy at the moment, people are kindly donating old gold they find at home towards the lump of gold for “Vaasa in luck”. If you have any gold (jewellery, teeth, etc.) that you do not need anymore, it can also become part of the gold – everything will be melted [...]
