”I dont understand what you mean by street art. If it has no permission, it is regular destruction and should be punished. I think it is equal to destroying someones car.”
2. At the same time they introduce a zero tolerance policy against graffiti, scribblings and postings in unassigned places.
My first naive reflection is the difference between the underground landscape and the above ground landscape, rather like a city plan made by Leonardo da Vinci, where a whole city was to be built in two floors. The lower floor, without sunlight and wind, was populated by workers. Their goods and services were transported up by stairs to the top floor, where the noblemen, priests and so on lived with sunshine and good air.
The Stockholm City museum has a very popular guided tour which is sold out all the time. It guides people to the street art of the town. ”To have tours in city art is like picking mushrooms” says the guide. ”I never know what is there and what has been taken away.” Since these tours are legimitizing something that the conservative party is against, the newspaper Södermalmsnytt contacted our vice mayor Mikael Söderlund. Here is the interview:
SN (Södermalmsnytt): But the tours are popular and many think that city art is fine.
MS (Mikael Söderlund): I dont understand what you mean by street art. If it has no permission, it is regular destruction and should be punished. I think it is equal to destroying someones car.
SN: Posters, mosaics, miniature summerhouses and decals. Have you not seen it?
MS: No, but Stockholm would look pretty strange if everybody would put up summerhouses everywhere. If you want to erect an art piece you have to apply for permission. Everything else is illegal.
SN: Can you apply for permission for the erection of a graffiti painting?
MS: No, we dont accept graffiti in Stockholm. And we dont think, like others, that graffiti is an art form. We dont want graffiti here.
SN: The English authorities declined from washing away a spray painting from the street artist Banksy because of his great popularity. The value of the apartements in the houses he had painted has peaked. His wall paintings are valued to more than 4 million kronor [about 580 000 USD, writers remark]. Any comments?
MS: He is not welcome to Stockholm.
A hotline will now be set up to take emergency calls on new public art, graffiti or posters in Stockholm. After the alarm, it wont take more than 48 hours before a squad will be sent to the new illegal painting (or what it might be) and remove it. Reading about this on the internet also gave me the information about how to bring down this new hot line with fake alarms, etc.
Searching this information on the net also brings up the issue on Swedish surveillance. Beside all the security cameras in buses, subways, squares, shops and every possible public space, the Swedish government also hope to pass a law which gives them the right to monitor Swedish and international traffic on the internet. This proposition has been debated (lamely) in Swedish media but has also caused Google to compare Sweden with Saudi Arabia and China.
My Sweden from an international perspective: Its not a country in any risk of terrorism, or a country involved in high risk security issues, or war, or large scale crime or violence. And it might not be the home of the brave, but we really take our cleanliness seriously, both when it comes to our spaces and our information.
Everything is very open with a precise explanation of the issues.

Hiya! I simply wish to give an enormous thumbs up for the great information you’ve gotten right here on this post.
I might be coming again to your blog for extra soon.
It goes into Indian pickles as a preservative and coloring agent.
If you would like to learn more about the nutritional
supplements I personally take that contain turmeric extract,

that contain hidden sweeteners (not only sugar but high fructose syrup
and corn syrup appears often on ingredient lists).
For acute cold and cough, turmeric paste is applied in the forehead before going
to bed. If you would like to learn more about the nutritional supplements I personally take that contain turmeric extract,

very effective in relieving pain.
I have found the simplest way to apply this is directly after
bathing. Sunscreen lotions with cocoa butter as ingredients are very essential to protect
your skin from the harsh rays of the skin. I have been using
jojoba oil for months and love the stuff.
It is without a doubt the best solution for revitalizing your skin.
You may design your own personal gift pack from a number
of different moisturizing and fragrant oils, including the beautiful Argan oil that keeps your skin moist and supple even
under the driest sun and wind, or perhaps calendula if her skin is more sensitive.
To eliminate this issue we need to provide our hair with proper nourishment, your scalp needs proper blood circulation, your hair needs moisture
(without being oily), your hair follicles need to be clean and those toxic uv
rays need to leave your hair alone.
I’m not sure exactly why but this blog is loading incredibly slow for me. Is anyone else having this issue or is it a problem on my end? I’ll check
back later and see if the problem still exists.
I’m gone to cconvey my little brother, that he

It’s difficult to find experienced people about this topic,
however, you sound like you know what you’re talking about!
Thanks
