small Aluminum panel for the Art2030 project by www.flickr.com/photos/mydogsighs/ Should ship out Monday :-)
The opening of Ai Weiwei’s (b. 1957 in Beijing, China) new installation, produced specifically for Kunsthal Charlottenborg and Copenhagen, will take place on United Nations International Refugee Day (June 20 2017). Named Soleil Levant, the installation barricades the windows of Kunsthal Charlottenborg with more than 3500 salvaged life jackets collected from refugees arriving at the Greek Island of Lesbos.
Focus on the humanitarian crisis
With this installation, Ai Weiwei hopes to bring focus to the refugee crisis currently taking place across Europe. According to UNHCR, 1,377,349 individuals arrived in Europe via sea in 2015 and 2016. In the same period, over 8000 individuals have died or disappeared attempting this journey. It is the wide-spread humanitarian crisis, which Ai Weiwei aims to bring focus on.
The name of the work stems from Claude Monet’s painting Impression, Soleil Levant from 1872, which depicts the harbour in Le Havre at the end of the 1870-71 Franco-Prussian war. Whereas Monet’s landscape painting captures the political and social reality of its time with its cranes, steamboats and industrialisation, Ai Weiwei’s Soleil Levant draws attention to the political and social reality of today through refugee lifejackets.
World-renowned artist and activist
Ai Weiwei is one of the most respected living artists in the world today. His work – across sculpture, architecture, installations, music, photography and film – always challenge and encourage critical debate. He has previously exhibited at ARoS, Louisiana and Arken in Denmark, where his works are also part of the museums’ permanent collections.
In 2011, Ai Weiwei was detained in China for 81 days without charges and had his passport confiscated. He did not get his passport back from the government until 2015. Since relocating to Berlin following the return of his passport, many of the artist’s latest works focus on the refugee crisis of present-day Europe.
The installation Soleil Levant for Kunsthal Charlottenborg officially opens on United Nations World Refugee Day, (June 20) and will be on view at the facade of Kunsthal Charlottenborg until the October 1 2017. The project is curated by Luise Faurschou from ART 2030 and Michael Thouber from Kunsthal Charlottenborg.
ART 2030 connects art and the UN Global Goals
ART 2030 unites art as the key to open people’s hearts, minds and imagination for the world we want by 2030. ART 2030 is a movement of visionary artists and influencers in the art world, who are determined to reinstate the role for art in a bigger world context and make their contributions visible for sustainable Development.
The project is supported by The Obel Family Fund, Platform A/S and The Danish Arts Foundation.

Inauguration and commemoration of World Refugee Day 2017
Ai Weiwei’s installation was officially inaugurated on World Refugee Day, June 20 2017, and in connection with the inauguration we held an event with talks, food and music commemorating World Refugee Day. Read more about the event and see photos from it HERE. See also our video of the talks given by among others former head UN’s general assembly Mogens Lykketoft, Secretary General for relief organization Red Barnet Jonas Lindholm, spokesperson for UNHCR in Denmark Elisabeth Arnsdorf Haslund, and Syrian refugee Rafat Al-hamoud, who has founded House of Humanity: Video of talks (Vimeo).

the weather is gettingf beter and i'd really like to get the Art2030 www.flickr.com/groups/1220693@N25/ project off the ground.
get busy on your work : on a weather proof medium no wider than 5 inches!
then get them to me!!!!!
always up for a project, tim has excelled himself once again by sending this great waving man from across the pond. it'll sit on top of one of the many wooden posts waiting for your artwork as part of the Art 2030 project.
fancy producing something for the project? mail me!!
Phase one of the Art2030 project went out today. 38 pieces of Art pasted along the eastern road in portsmouth.
Now phase one is complete I'm looking for art for the remaining wooden posts. there are plenty to go round (around 240) so get in on it! art work needs to be a maximum of 5" wide and no taller than 12". it needs to be painted on a weather proof material! (wood, metal, plastic etc)

a new set of skinny 'stupid signs' ready for the Art2030 project.
remember, no more than 5 inches wide!!
get on board!! s'gonna be great and you'll know you'll regret it when they are all up and your work isn't!!!!
finally got a couple of my wooden pieces out this evening. whilst not partcularly photogenic it is a perfect spot as the road gets heavily congested daily so hopefully quite a few tired commuters will have their day brightened.
it has no foot traffic at all so what with that and the fact i hammered it to the posts it should mean i'll get a bit of long term exposure. (gotta to keep the profile raised!)
if you want them you'd better make your way down there with a claw hammer.
there are literally hundreds of these posts in a line so if anyone wants some pieces added let me know. we could have the most stunning little gallery! the posts are about 5" wide and a foot long.
come join the new Art2030 group here www.flickr.com/groups/1220693@N25/and get your own work up!!!

the tag tree is in it's final weeks of showing at the milestones gallery in basingstoke Hampshire uk. it has now had 8 weeks in gosport discovery centre and 6 in milestones. both exhibitions have been interactive with tags and art equipment avaliable for the public to create and hang their own tags. originally holding 1000 artists and children's tags the tree is now laden with close to 2000. I will be collecting the tags at the end of the month and holding them until the weather improves. I will then carry out my original intention of hanging them in a public space as a guerilla art installation.
thank you to everyone who took part in this project. it was far bigger than anything I could ever imagine. with absolutely no funding (other than a few kind donations from artists) we captured the hearts and creative minds of many people. to see people who'd never involved themselves in artistic endevour picking up a pencil and enjoying the experience was a joy. to see graff artists and poets,scrap bookers and scribblers, photographers and stencillers sharing a common starting point and producing mini masterpieces was a highlight of my year.
for me, that's what it's all about!
for those who want more, I have just planted the see of my new project. Art2030 is a collaborative guerilla art installation aiming to enhance a drab stretch of road entering the east side of the city of Portsmouth. over 200 wooden posts sit blandly following a stretch of almost constantly jammed traffic. tens of thousands of commuters sat in cars staring at them. I'd like to cheers some spirits with hundreds of pieces of permanent art nailed to these posts. paintings, sculptures, poems,signs, moments of inspiration.
interested?
mail me.
These stunning pieces arrived from today for the art2030 project.
Included in the parcel were two more larger pieces which, with Tonys permission, I am planning to use an incentive to all those people who have promised to do some work for the project but haven't quite made it yet.
The people who send me the 20th and 50th piece of art for the project will each recieve one if Tonys paintings.
Work needs to be no more than 5" wide and 12" tall. They need to be painted on a weatherproof surface (wood, metal, tin cans, plastic etc) artists are welcome to send more than one piece (the more the merrier). I am happy to add appropriate drill holes and hang the pieces for you. I am also accepting work from artists children. Childrens work needs to include (on the front) name and age.
There is no set deadline but thevsooner you get it to me the sooner it will get put up with the 40+ other pieces alreay out and getting 1000's of views a day by passing motorists.
mail me For postal address
New work from the free art master! Bonus saves came up trumps again with these great pieces.
On a sad note, I drove along the art2030 road today to find all the currently exhibiting work gone :(
On a happier note. I'm building quite a store of new pieces so will be replacing the taken pieces with even more work!! They can't stop us brightening commuters lives!
Bigger and better (and this time I'm planning on investing in non-removable security screws)
I know lex has a pile for me. Farkfk has promised some and so has elmo and frisk. I think nine0 has nodded in the affermative so there is plenty of quality work heading for the boards.
If anyone heading to upfest wants to save some postal expenses please feel free to drop me some stuff next weekend! (I expect korp will welcome any submissions for the IYTI free art show in Peterborough too)
Let's brighten up some lives people!!!

A3020 Eastern Road in Portsmouth. Southbound, just after the bus stop and before the green transformer box.
A surprise parcel arrived this morning from ms Manu and the tigapics collective. A complete box full of goodies.
Shanks a billion ms Manu!! I'm going to see what I can get on the Art2030 bollards, save a few special pieces, sticker southsea, drop some free art goodies and pass a few into korp for the upcoming IYTI event.
a little something for the Art2030 project.
the first phase of the project is going up tomorrow morning, with a pile of work form lots of lovely people. if you've not yet got your work to me, dont panic!!! I'm planning to get phase 2 going in a month so you have four whole weeks (28days!!!) to gt something done and posted to me
-----
ok. so I drove home from work on this road ( the eastern road Portsmouth A2030) every day and it is always gnarled up. 10-15 mins everyday I sit stuck in traffic looking a a row of about 150 wooden bollards stood along the road. they must get tens of thousands of slow moving cars crawling past them everyday. the ultimate canvas!!!!
they aren't big. 3- 4inches wide and ranging in height from 10 - 20 inches. they are of course exposed to the weather.
so, here's my plan. you lot make some art on something waterproof. I'm thinking flattened cans, bits of wood, sheets of metal. - whatever you can get hold of, and I take them down and nail/screw them into place as a pretty long term art exhibition, take shed loads of pics, maybe get the PCM involved and offer passengers of the traffic jam wine and nibbles a' la opening night!!
this is a chance to get seriously high profile with your work!!!
keep it small, make it tough!
I'm happy to accept as many entries as you want to get to me and promise to get them all out.
if you're interested. mail me and I'll sort out a postal address for you to send work.
