Arne Bakke Mælen had a share in the remote small farm Mælen in Jondal in Hardanger. But the slopes were steep, and when he took over, the houses were falling down. Instead of working the land, he turned the yard into an art and culture centre, with a gallery, party room and workshop. He himself is a craftsman who works with wood, and who takes impressive pictures and spins matchless balls.
