Placering

Observations from outplacers and godparents :

Växjö in May 2009

StillAlive - Man as the place # 3

" There is a small altar in the wall at Kostergatan street where I found the figure. My role as a godfather suits me

perfectly as I have no children so I have a lot of time being godfather in the evenings in the " glow in the dark "

shine from the figure. The Erik help organization will be the happy recipients.

“I couldn’t resist the little pompeian so now he is lying at home in my hallway. And of course I have made a

contribution. Thanks for the project! Take care!

“I like art in the common environment because it’s not as pretentious as when you go to a museum or art gallery, but

gives as much, maybe even more. And in addition the place that receives a small figure is loaded with another

meaning. You see the place with different eyes, the place emerges out of its everyday meaning it usually has.

You stop and think ”What happens here?”, ”What is this place?”. Thank you for the initiative. I’m very happy to be

able to participate. Have given my contribution to ECPAT.

”When I read about the project at Växjö Art Hall I first thought the objects would be so small just to fit into a hand

and then I thought how would you find them in the city ? When I saw the self- glowing figure unexpectedly outside

the Furutå school, by the entrance to the shelter, I was so delighted and wanted to keep it. I have chosen to

donate a contribution to BRIS.

Best wishes, Agnes Nakabale "

" We like him a lot and have placed him in our guest toilet.

There he is nice and comfy turning his back towards the lovely view.

We gave our contribution to the Salvation Army. We found the little man behind a bike in the corner of Norrgatan

street and Linnegatan street in Växjö. He is so peaceful where he lies now, glowing in the night.

I enjoyed the fun and different project. We love art but mostly own paintings.
