Every day thousands of Swedes drive to the airport. In an effort to get them to take a Flygbussarna bus instead, Acne created this sculpture. It was built from 50 cars by the side of the main road to Stockholm airport. An accompanying website included a live feed of the bus-sculpture plus gizmos to work out how much carbon would be saved by switching from car to bus.
Check out the amazing/educational video after the jump.
In 2008 the Spanish artist Sixeart achieved international fame by participating in Street art at the TATE Modern. Before that he visited Denmark with a small exhibition at the We Love Asbæk gallery, were all his work was sold before they opened. Today his works are shown in Spain alongside those of Miro, Chillada and Tapiez. Right now he’s showing at A.L.I.C.E in Brussels with 4 new paintings and his first ever screen print, limited to 30 editions.
So I’m back from a short break in Madrid. Weather wasn’t too good, but luckily we stayed at The Puerto America which had lots to offer. 14 floors with a rooftop pool/spa each designed by different designers and architects. And not just anybody, were talking Zaha Hadid, Norman Foster, Jean Nouvel, Ron Arad and Marc Newson – pretty cool. We had the pleasure of staying at Marc Newson’s sleek, red light district floor. Even though I rather would have spend my time in one of Zaha Hadid’s organic rooms it still was a good experience.

I’m leaving for Madrid one of these days. I spend a couple of hours in the airport two years ago and if the city is anything like the airport, it’s going to be a great stay.
Check out the colours that works as a gate indicator. Informational graphics at it’s best.
Just received my new Josh Keyes limited print. He combines scenes of nature intermingling with man-made designs and the debris of human existence with a scientific look of slices and core samples. Environmental art at it’s best. He’s already becoming a personal favourite.
A campaign I’ve been a part of, Flere Fagfolk, Tak! Had its website shortlisted in the danish Creative Circle award. On Friday flerefagfolk.dk won both silver and bronze awards. Good job by the guys at Cap Size.
