During the weekend I have been in contact with public art in different ways. On Saturday I guided a walk to ten artworks in public places in Umeå (an arrangement of Umeå public library). It is actually an honor to do this since it creates discussions of art in general, why we have public art and what these artworks do to the places we visit, use or just pass by. People attending usually gets a new experience of their home town and may look at art differently afterwards. See new relations between art and space, how this can interact and perhaps make us revalue a situation. 

Yesterday I was in a car between Bjurholm and Vännäs when this amazing sculpture appeared. It is by the artist Kent Karlsson and is called Hägring (Mirage), and because of the speed you travel in it truly becomes like its title. You're not really sure that it was for real. Last time I saw it was on a bus travelling to Östersund in the middle of February and everything surrounding it was bright white. Now all the colors of the early autumn reflected on its surface — so amazing!
