Great new images from China and vessel no. 88. In one of the images you can see Zhang XueDong who dedicated on of his e-Pictures to the art project 100 MIGRATORY “The world contains everything in nature”.
Thanks to TianDiRongTong, Johanna Almström and the girls!
Vessel No. 88 in China, based in Beijing and sponsored by the company Tiandi Rongtong. Have a look at images from the journey of the vessel on their homepage link 100 MIGRATORY in China.
In January 2013 the vessel No.88 travelled by train from Beijing to Harbin to take part of the opening of 25th Snow and Ice festival as well as Cold Zone Expo 2013.
Most photos by Johanna Almström – thank you!
Vessel no. 88 has arrived to Beijing China, freight sponsored by the company Tian Di Rong Tong. You can find the project description in Chinese here as a pdf file.
Vessel no.40 and the Swedish ambassador is staying at home…
I got a mail from the Swedish embassy in Minsk Belarus and they wrote that they have to refrain from taking part in this interesting art project due to a number of circumstances. We all know Lukashenko expelled the Swedish ambassador in Belarus in the beginning of August and Sweden’s diplomats can no longer stay in the country. The fear of human rights by Lukashenko reaches new heights, wrote the Swedish Minister of Foreign Affairs Carl Bildt on Twitter shortly after. It is countries like Belarus that really should take part of the story and work of 100 MIGRATORY so I feel sorry this glass vessel no. 40/100M, intended for Belarus, has to stay at home in Sweden. Just like the Swedish ambassador of Belarus…
However, I am happy the embassy in Russia will take care of a vessel, even if the Swedish embassy in Moscow is a closed area for the public.
So 24 Swedish embassies are going to receive a vessel of glass part of 100 MIGRATORY within the next few months – as a loan for up to half a year. Photos from the different countries and embassies will later be part of the final exhibition January – May 2014 at the museum of Västerbotten in Umeå Sweden. Several private persons will also be part of the art project, as a “caretaker” of a vessel each.
Today I have no. 70 in the Netherlands, no.17 in Norway, no. 41 in Switzerland, no.14 in Spain, no. 56 leaving for Iceland and no. 88 for China. And I’m home in Tärnaby with vessel no.40.
