We talk about the colonization of the cultural world by the institutional elite and how the artist stands again with the shortest straw.
There's few people in the Oslo art scene who don't know him. Even less who he hasn't helped at some point.
To accompany his solo exhibition Walkabout at Khartoum Contemporary Art Center the 24th of August we talk about his upbringing in Zambia, how he started doing art and how that lead him to Norway.
For all you Art lovers, makers, collectors, haters, brokers, curators, investors, infiltrators now that the summer has reached its peak it's maybe time to get back into the harsh reality.
Here is a new podcast, this time with the mover and shaker and artist Ruben Steinum.
We discus the new publication he was part off: Å leve av kunsten (to live of art) Which gives a small insight into the brutal reality of us visual artist.
He is the chair of the board at UKS (the young artist society) and he is also on the board of Norske Billedkunstnerne (NBK).
He is one of the founders of an app called Atelier, which provides a platform to give art lovers direct access to the studios and the gems that they contain.
He calls himself a pop-artist in our talk.
The main thing that came through though is that he has a sincere wish to improve the lives of all us visual artists in Norway.

I talked to Karin Erixon and Fadlabi about and in their recently openened
gallery and bar in the heart of Oslo.
It's called Khartoum Contemporary Art Center.
We only had time for a short talk since the place had to be opened up shortly after,
but it should be enough so you can find your way.
This is the main talk that accompanied the exhibition Merete Mortensen and me organized at the National Academy of the Arts in Oslo. It was held on the 20th of October 2016. In this talk we are exploring the role of the artist as curator or the curator as the artist.
From LA we had Paul Paiement and Carl Berg participating. Max Presneill unfortunately couldn't make it to the talk.
From Oslo we had invited Jan Christensen, Ragnhild Aamås and Hanan Benammar.
Our moderator was Rike Frank.
It helps to listen to the first part (http://fridoshow.com/podcast/021-acca-first-talk-part-1) befor you start on this one.
