reflect glass crush...

Today I meet two different persons that made my day and may by my jewellery year too…
First I run into a man that was glittering the crosswalk with reflect glass crush and I have been looking for this kind of glass material since I get some of it from my friend and college Montserrat in Spain last year… And finally I run into it and got a lot!
I got almost 2 kilos for free…
But even if I run into the glitter man I have to have something to bring the glitter powder in and that I got from a café close to the meeting with the road workers, I got a bucket with a top…. So even if we never met again, THANK YOU very much, you made my sunny day much sunnier.

Saltholmens kallbadhus / open-air swimming-baths...

The day started a little bite cloudy but then the sun was there for us all…But still only +16 degrees in the water…

Today I have day off as usual, I spend the day in my small paradise; Saltholmens kallbadhus /open-air swimming-baths, close to the ocean on a wooden bridge…

The seagulls was screaming more then usual and I wonder why… till I found the three small once on the empty beach in the same area.
I wonder how it will be with these small once, because it’s a lot of people out at the kallabadhuset /open-air swimming-baths a sunny day and they can’t fly away…

Today it midsummer celebration here in Sweden and I have catch a cold and are not fit for fight to be celebrate this day as much as I want too… my body hurts, I have a terrible headache… so it will be a soft midsummer for me this year.

some great days at the countryside…

A view of a great Swedish summer…

I have been out at the countryside of Gothenburg in a small champ with my work, kulturlabbet.
We have been bathing (not me, only +16 degrees in the lake), playing a lot of out doors games and eating a lot of delicious home cooked food and had a great time together for some days… a great ending of this half of the year and a great beginning of the vacation, summer holidays that starts the 1st of July.
Just one calm week left, and then the holiday time starts.

We have to be wear of our allemansrätt / Right of Public Access, this is specificity for Sweden, it’s a great idea that you as private person have the right to be in the forest, use someone else’s ways and use others mark to have a walk… We can pick strawberries or blue or raspberries as we want too…as long as you take care and don’t destroy, litter or break some branches…

-artbomb, and together we will be strong, a chain reaction...

N.B. DOORGEZONDEN BERICHT: ARTBOMB
JOIN THE GROWING INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY IN AN ACTION TO SAVE THE ARTS

Please forward !

Dear art friend,
EXPRESS THE VALUE OF ART! SHOW YOUR SUPPORT FOR CULTURE!

On Friday the 24th June at noon local time, we need you to join this initiative in shrouding art locations across the world incoloured smoke. This visual act will be a sign of resistance against the growing disdain for the arts within societies and governments worldwide, and a sign of support for colleagues who face major cutbacks. Now is the time to act to show your appreciation and the necessity of the arts!

ARTBOMB is a peaceful art intervention initiated in The Netherlands. The Dutch Government is about to cut 40% of all cultural funding. This will result in the disappearance of a multitude of organizations that excel internationally in their field. This loss will be felt not only by the Dutch public but by the international community.

One signal, one moment, one act to show support. You can contribute visual ammunition against the disproportionate cuts to the arts budget. This visible intervention will rise up around the world where people value the arts and want to express their support for artists and cultural organizations.

Everybody who joins the ARTBOMB intervention will become part of this chain reaction and is invited to upload the photos and films of their own intervention to the website http://www.artbomb.nl/
as a token of solidarity and a symbol of strength.

WHAT IGNITE COLOURED SMOKE AND DOCUMENT THE EVENT

dogtooth by Yorgos Lanthimos...perfectly perverse, a stunner... hilarious...

If you want to see a film with a lot of thought afterwards I can recommend DOGTOOTH in one way a surrealistic film, in one way something that could be possible to read in the newspaper these days… The actors are absolutely great!
I like the camera angles and the tempo in the film.
I don’t want to say too much about this dysfunctional family story, I hope you take your time and see it for your self…

I and my friend end it up with a fika afterward, talking about the film, what we like or dislike (it wasn’t anything we dislike about the film, may be the way that parents could act against their children and how the society response to things we “know” about others) about the film and how the society or the family situation could be fragile, hard to understand and so on...
