Last week at Gulltaggen I finally met Sir Richard Branson (see photo).
There are few people I admire as I admire Branson. When people tell me I am too wild in my thinking I always think of Branson (he is a proof of that nothing in life or business is to wild untill someone has proven it works, or not).
After meeting up with Branson in Oslo I could not stop thinking of what he could do next. Today he has 200 companies and over 50.000 employes in almost every business field.
I would like to ask Branson if he can start Virgin Art? Why? Because it is a field full of untapped business potential. Art is a platform that is full of freedom to create and change the world from, and this could be done by starting Virgin Art.
Here is some of Sir Richard Branson best points at Gulltaggen 2010:
The demands for innovation has never been greater.
Make a difference and change the world.
As long it makes people smile.
Next time I meet Branson I will ask him about the future business of living in space,
You might have started something, Stefan! If Sir Richard starts Virgin Art we will know who planted the seed!
Jack, thanks. It would be great if Branson starts Virgin Art – Mother earth need more art.
Virgin Art – that is actually a very good idea.
Thanks Martin, I will by art at Virgin Art (when and if it starts).
In the spirit of Virgin, we should start Virgin Art. After reading Richard Branson’s autobiography this Summer, he would probably agree. Art is often the result of a chemical reaction; history sets the stage for social commentary, light finds the inflections on a physical or virtual surface, and the process of creating the art is manifested by the artist(s).
Great post. Please let me know if you/your readers are interested. It would be fun — which is the basis to all things Virgin.

Thanks Roland, really good and beautiful input. Virgin could also be an plattform for fun art – art that makes people happy (ore at least mother earth happy). I hope to get a phone call soon from Richard (will let you know if and when). Stefan
