Nope. This is still a bicycle blog.

We promise. We won't turn this blog into an unspecified ads/for sale blog, or some kind of street art blog. But the art photographed below we spotted during a bicycle tour, so there's the connection. And since we liked what we saw a lot we simply wanted to share it with you.

 (New graffiti meets old)

(Graffiti behind the fence)

(And it has started to spread outside the designated area. Those who criticise graffiti and street art often argue that if you offer the artists designated graffiti walls it will spread, outside these walls. Maybe they´re right, maybe it will. But we think that the critics should just take a moment and think. Is this so bad then? Do they really prefer unpainted, "unadorned" buildings to these fantastic pieces of art? And is it so bad to put some paper and paint on these electric installations?)

(OK, it's a crappy photo. But a link is here below)

(The art gallery who's behind all this)

When we spotted all these fantastic pieces the first time we thought that some graffiti artists simply had gone completely bonkers and decided to do whatever they wanted. Which of course put a big smile on our faces. (As long as no one gets hurt, do whatever you want.) On a second tour we discovered that it was all a part of this. That wasn't equally exciting, at least not to us, but it's still all admirable anyway. To be honest it can't have been too broadly promoted, since we were completely unaware of it. Maybe that's because it's all about a relatively small art gallery, in a boring industrial area, we dunno.

But hey! Check it out for yourselves! Gather a friend or two, take your bikes, ride out to the Ringön industrial area, along the street Järnmalmsgatan and see what all these talented artists have created.

And ride safe!
