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.

It is my college Sebastian Pommer that has taking these photos when we where at the small summer camp, I catch the beetle and Sebastian took the photos… it had an incredible beautiful colour, it is hard to see it here, but it was metallic blue almost like titanium.
Today I meet two different persons that made my day and may by my jewellery year too…
The day started a little bite cloudy but then the sun was there for us all…But still only +16 degrees in the water…
My friend Katarina has sent me these pipe guys from Sundsvall, my old hometown…
My neighbour Charlotte invited me to midsummer dinner, small talk and parlour game… a great evening even if I had catch a cold and wasn’t as social as I use too…

Every year, on the 24-th of June, bonfires are lit in France. It is the name day of John the Baptist. The fires are called: ‘Les Feux de Saint Jean’ (the fires of Saint John). This bonfire use to be a common ritual in the countryside. These days there are only a few places left celebrating this old traditional rite.
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!
