New publication ‘The Hollow Man’ by Bjarne Bare, published by Hassla in New York, January 2023.
'...The Hollow Man is inspired by the forms and figures that are hand-shaped from scraps of cardboard and on view in a piñata factory near the artist’s home in industrial downtown Los Angeles.

Per Barclay
Per Barclay has unveiled a public installation in Oslo where he revitalised the iconic ‘Love Carousel’ structure, located in the lower slopes of Stensparken in Fagerborg (St. Hanshaugen). This was a result of a collaboration between the Norwegian Cultural Agency, the Norwegian Environmental Agency and the Norwegian Antiquities Agency.
Completed in 1937, the public urinal was built in a functionalist style, and was also used as a meeting place for gay men during a time when homosexuality was not only seen to be socially unacceptable in Norway, but also illegal. Its reputation as a gay cruising spot in combination of its circular shape assigned the structure the aforementioned moniker. Other nicknames included ’The Wheel of Fortune’ and ’The Umbrella’. In 2009, it was declared a monument, and Per has had to privilege to lease it a new artistic life. The installation will be possible to experience until 01.06.23.
