David Alræk, February 12-15 2018
Moved into the attic.
Had a plan about making a private space and invite people in for a one-to-one-session.
Laid in bed listening to a guided meditation.
Tried to find focus and inspiration.
Thought that would be a good start.
Was lonely and bored.
Turned on laser disco lights that I had with me in my bag.
Thought that would put me in some kind of playful state.
Didn’t work.
Thought about the movie Into The Wild where the character at the end, right before he dies, writes:
“Happiness in only real when shared”.
Next day I went home and found my jar of spare changes.
Invited my friend Marieke for lunch.
Said I was going to pay for the lunch.
On one condition.
We had to eat something childishly and greasy and yummy.
Had pancakes, maple syrup and milkshake for lunch.
Marieke told me she was into astrology at the moment.
She plotted in my date of birth etc and said I’m a manifesting generator.
Not sure what that means, even if she told me.
(Youtube has an in-depth exploration about manifesting generators, duration 01:38:21)
Went back to the residency.
Laid in bed I though, am I happy or sad at the moment? Sometimes it's hard to say.
Got hungry.
On the way to the store, I thought more about what kind of work I wanted to do.
No good ideas for art work.
Walked around in the store for ages without finding anything I wanted to eat.
But what I did found was greaseproof paper.
-matpapir-
Most be a very Norwegian thing ?
People are crazy about their bread in this country.
They come in packages of 500.
500!
500 super thin papers.
Got an idea about lying in bed and writing 500 things I like about my life.
Got back to the bed and started writing.
Tried to write poetic.
Or not poetic.
Some kind of personal truth.
Statements.
Not like; I like pancakes.
Everyone does.
I have never met a person that doesn’t like pancakes.
Writing 500 statements takes a long time.
I wrote on about half of the papers.
Maybe I’ll read them one day.
Maybe not.
Left the residency three days later.

The Bedroom Residency (ongoing)
I haven’t had a permanent home for more than 18 months by the time I arrive at The Bedroom Residency and in Audrey’s room. After three artist residencies and months and months with only an improvised kitchen, no shower or washing machine, regular couchsurfing with friends and bags and boxes stored in different basements one learns how to be at home in someone else's home. The desire to settle is in conflict with precious moments that only happen while staying over - brushing teeth together, seeing each other in pajamas, talking while half asleep, the experience to really need others on the existential level of night shelter and: the feeling of being welcome.
Starting with Audrey's room The Bedroom Residency Blog is going to be updated with homes that for some time become my home too, until I find my own place.

Maria Toll, December 11-14 2017
Maybe you catch a cold but it doesn’t really matter because you are allowed to be at home under your blanket and read books and drink tea and eat Christmas treats. And the best thing is to be in a home where you can put logs in a fire and especially for me who are a big city kid who don’t know how to do such things and therefor it becomes ridiculously exotic. It’s actually funny and embarrassing to think of me being in the forrest, how I wouldn’t survive a day. I think I love being indoors too much. I loved to be a temporary house cat, strolling around, sleep during the day, read, watch the fire and waiting for all the roomies to come home.
Hanna Pherson, December 4-7 2017
I lost my notes from the residency. I spent most of my days in the Bedroom Residency writing stuff down and now that I can’t find my notebook I’m questioning my own memory of these days.
I lived through my notes and now it all feels like a fever dream.
I remember lying in bed trying to sleep with a throat burn from eating too much candy.
I remember my pen running out of ink and me buying a new one that was way too expensive.
I remember watching Seinfeld and watching YouTube films for hours, starting with postmodernism and ending with ridiculous personality tests (and questioning my own personality type and social skills because of the tunnel vision that I got from these tests).
I remember one leg of the bed always giving up and me forgetting this every time and thinking that I have ruined the bed.
I remember taking selfies in the bathroom mirror and deleting them.
I remember waking up every morning and forgetting where I am.
I remember reading Norwegian poetry and trying to write my own with little success.
I remember watching raindrops on the window, thinking that the first drop that gets to the bottom wins the race, watching the drops distorting the houses of Bergen on the way to victory.
