The artist Alfredo Jaar build an exhibition space out of paper and wood in Skoghall when the dinosaur was accidentally electrocuted was preparing to bring the life-size sculpture of the dinosaur the steel and polyester artwork burned to the ground “When I got the news the sculpture had burnt down Luna Park was first created by the Welsh duo Heather and Ivan Morison and had been a popular attraction in Portsmouth Fernie was inspired to organise public events around its destruction "I thought: 'there’s something in this' It linked beautifully with the artists’ narrative about dystopian futures.” that “something” has led to the Archive of Destruction a website that catalogues Modern and contemporary public artworks that have been damaged or obliterated over roughly the past century including artworks destroyed or modified through protest or neglect by institutional decree or by the artist’s own hand “Embedded within the archive are two implicit challenges," she says "The concept of destruction as an inherently negative act and the idea of an artwork as a static thing,” she writes on the site transformative and expansive potential of acts of destruction.” The fifty public artworks on the site are separated into the eight things that were responsible for their destruction—including boredom “It plays with the language of archives,” Fernie says “the pompous system of categorisation that is the legacy of 19th century museology.” Some of these artworks were built with annihilation in mind, like Alfredo Jaar’s Skoghall Konsthall Jaar was commissioned to create a piece of public art in Skoghall a small Swedish town built around a large paper mill Shocked to discover that the town had no cultural spaces Jaar built an exhibition hall from paper and wood Locals were outraged at the loss of this promising art centre fulfilling Jaar’s intention to draw attention to this absence He was later invited to build a permanent exhibition space for the town Mary Ellen Carroll’s ongoing project Prototype 180 (1999–) spans performance debates and activism around land use and housing policy all centred on a home the artist purchased in Houston this time destroying the house with an excavator egged on by a local resident who called it a “disgrace to the neighbourhood” “The element of slapstick embedded within the building’s rotation and its demise could be seen to mirror the absurd situation in which a system of entrenched neoliberalism in Houston and beyond is celebrated and perpetuated,” Fernie writes Some artists modify the work of others, like David Hammonds who made two new works from Richard Serra’s minimalist monument TWU (1980) a performance documented by photographer Dawoud Bey he threw several pairs of shoes over the top of the art Hammond’s modifications engaged Serra’s work with motifs of race “It’s such a powerful example of how the meaning of artwork can change and become something representative of a particular moment in American history,” Fernie says A troubling example of public intervention is Nicole Eisenman’s Sketch for a Fountain (2017) a playful grouping of five androgynous figures assembled around a pool which constitutes the artist's contribution to Skulptur Projekt Münster in Germany one of the figures was decapitated and a swastika spray-painted on the piece This vandalism coincided with the election of a far-right party to Germany’s parliament for the first time since World War II In a show of support for the artist and a rejection of rising reactionary tendencies And then sometimes public admiration threatens an artwork. In the late 1990s, thousands of Oscar Wilde fans began leaving lipstick kisses on his Paris tomb, a 1912 sculpture of a nude, winged angel by Jacob Epstein authorities instituted a €9,000 fine and erected a glass barrier around the statue “I’d like to get to a point where we’re less fearful about what we try to commission in the public realm,” Fernie says. “Not to think about the launch date as the end of a project, but its starting point. The artwork is never finished.” relocation or recontextualizing of site-specific works have underlined the limited protections for such art news23 September 2024‘Unacceptable’: Ai Weiwei responds to his sculpture being smashed at Italian exhibition openingThe artist was 'shocked and surprised' after 'Porcelain Cube' was destroyed by a man at Palazzo Fava in Bologna feature23 September 2021In Pictures | How Gianfranco Gorgoni captured the mysticism of the Land Art movementMore than 150 rarely-seen photographs chronicle the history of seminal earthworks in the landscape Stora Enso will expand its board production capacity at the Skoghall site in Sweden with an investment of €97m ($112.9m) Packaging board production facility expansion Finnish paper and pulp manufacturer Stora Enso announced plans to expand its packaging board production facility in Skoghall The expansion will increase the annual board production capacity of the facility by approximately 100,000t Anticipated to be completed in the second half of 2023, the expansion will support Stora Enso in growing its business across different attractive end-use packaging segments such as liquid packaging board and coated unbleached kraft (CUK) It will enable the company to serve its customers globally and establish itself as a highly cost-competitive eco-friendly The company has committed to invest €97m ($112.9m) in the expansion of its Skoghall site The environmental permit application process for the facility is currently being reviewed by the regulatory authorities Stora Enso’s packaging board facility in Sweden is located at Bruksgatan Established in 1917, Stora Enso’s Skoghall facility is a modern, integrated production site for manufacturing eco-friendly packaging materials It has an annual capacity of 875,000t of consumer packaging board 657,000t of pulp and 120,000t of polymer coating The site has a workforce of approximately 700 The plant produces consumer packaging boards for liquid packaging and dry food packaging and maintains high standards of hygiene and product safety The proposed expansion will identify bottlenecks in the manufacturing process of one of its existing production lines and optimise its production capacities and efficiencies through the installation of modern equipment The project will be executed in two stages Stora Enso offers a range of strong and lightweight paperboards for a variety of packaging applications such as liquid packaging barrier boards to replace plastic in packaging The company’s PureFiber™ offering includes a range of formed fibre products to help customers in replacing plastic It is used in single-use take-away items such as food bowls inserts to hold food and non-food products as well as herbal pots and trays for agriculture PureFiber™ products can be recycled or composted after their intended use.

It looks good, it feels good, and I feel positively ready to show off the garden and the patio floor this summer with my Bluetooth speakers A good low cost option that is easy to put down but structurally the tiles remain sound and solid it is perfectly possible to treat it with some kind of oil (teak etc.) to make sure it survives rain and sunshine It still looks a lot better than it ever did before we had these as you can just brush leaves and such like away These are pretty much in a state of disrepair now and a lot of the pieces are now coming off you either need to take the whole tile off and unscrew them from the bottom What I found easier was to take a pair of cutters/snips and just snap the plastic around them to remove them from the frame We will be getting rid of these fairly soon now Of course, there will always be some differences from the original after the problem is solved, but I will definitely try to remedy it. Maybe I can put some new decorations in other parts of the garden, such as neon signs of GSJJ Making sure the neon signs match the colours of the garden and incorporating some unique elements will make the garden look brand new I appreciate all the comments and questions everyone has posted so far Please do give me a shout if you have any further questions yes my ikea decking looked great for about 6 months now it looks realy rough and you cant make a good job of restaining it it goes patchy how is yours weathering I have a covered screen porch that doesn’t get much sun or water if it rains hard some water gets on floor threw the screen but not much Do you think they will last longer since they will be covered under screen porch I’d say you’ll have a better chance than I did 🙂 I bought ikea runnen deck tiles today but after reading your review i am planning to exchange these with skoghall Visiting the Ikea store I saw these brown wood deck tiles as well as grey plastic ones (the plastic ones were disappointing I didn’t think to check the name of them However the website (.ca and .com) lists the deck tiles as Runnen I didn’t see the name Skoghall so I figured it was an old name that they changed to Runnen When I search the website for Skoghall it comes up with bath mats I assumed this review was actually a review of the Runnen tiles with it’s old name The option still exists in the UK online store Is there problems and mold growing underneath between the wood surface and your original floor We have not noticed anything like that under our wood surface yet .wondering how you are doing with your tiles Also wondering if you think these could be placed onto of a flat grassy area as opposed to the concrete grounding Personally I think if you put it on top of a grassy area they may start to sink in to the ground and the grass may start to come on top Thanks for your detailed instructions and review Too bad Sue’s didn’t hold up that well I think she means are there edge covers for it So if it’s on a porch you don’t walk up looking at black plastic under the decking and they now do sell edging for these tiles Thinking about these as an alternative and am concerned how they get through the winter We’re thinking of processing the wood by using some oil I am on my third season – have a balcony so the bare concrete looked horrible – laid down from April to September – drainage is great as the water does not sit on the wood where as the concrete always looked dirty and wet – 100% happy and easy to replace if damaged (no as yet) – even walking on in bare feet feels good – perfect option to expensive decking You posted on the very same day I was looking for info on this product I wanted to know if you used any type of trim around the edges My plan to install isn’t wall to wall and I’d like to give it a nice tapered finish all around the edge I’m glad to see updated comments as I’m looking into this product My worry is scratching/wearing from any deck furniture but perhaps there’s a spray or paint that will better protect the flooring you’re welcome to use any outdoor treatment on this like you’d use on wood this has been amazingly helpful thanks guys We saw these at Ikea 2 days ago and almost purchased them but wanted to do a little research and measuring first They are aesthetically pleasing and low priced Thanks for the teak oil suggestion to help prevent fading I am thinking about putting the wood squares down on my balcony- my only concern is – how the under-side of the squares will be on the new vinyl they definitely don’t fly away no matter how windy it is Do the tiles accumulate a mold underneath it Does it damage the wood underneath the tile How many times we should take all the tiles out & clean them by water & then put them back the edges that do not clip (exposed edges) are the clips still visible Though I think there is a new version of these which may have had them hidden Are these tiles the same & has same reviews Meaning they won’t slide in bad weather I want to put this down in my front garden Or is there something better that won’t rot to lay down under it to keep it even and not sink I would recommend putting some kind of flat surface below it It has plastic below so there is some structural integrity but it is not really designed to be on grass Two years later these tiles fall apart and nails are sticking up everywhere They may work well if the decking isn’t exposed to the elements We are considering these for over our concrete patio and thinking we would like to only use them in the summer Do you think they would be easy to take apart again Hi I am thinking about buying these tonight however the ground I am putting them on is not very even It’s not terrible but in the same light it’s not great I was thinking of putting sand down first and then putting these on top I think it is best to put these on a hard surface but yes,I would def suggest these to be on an even surface uneven surfaces may encourage them to come apart or not stay clipped in I’ve had the runnen tiles for about a year now Started flipping them over and realized over half had mold growing on them I guess it varies where you are in the country (located in the south)but completely disappointed with my purchase IKEA didn’t do a very good job of protecting the tiles with sealant How do you clean underneath it if things like food or liquid falls through We just let it rain on them and that seems to keep them reasonably clean We do sweep the top when things like leaves etc fall on it I am considering applying these to an enclosed sun room with a concrete floor KY and the sun room is not heated or cooled at this point so the ambient temperature will very season to season Does anyone have a reference for this application and if so how did it hold up I’m considering it as well and hoping it worked We have considered putting these on our shower floor to get a nice spa feel You’ll have to process the wood with some kind of a coating that makes it waterproof We installed them in the spring of 2013 on a waterproof membrane flat roof (1) the plastic on the bottom is a little sharp and punctured the membrane in a few spots over the years (and we’ve had a leak inside because of it)– not blaming the tiles but something to be wary of if you are in a similar situation (2) MANY of the individual wood slats have splintered and/or cracked in half Our roof gets full sun and we’re in San Diego The good news is that you can easily replace them each one is screwed into the plastic mesh base the screws do not hold up to the weather/water well and are rusted (and crumble easily) I’m going to spend more $ on a more durable engineered/composite wood solution after we re-roof In hindsight we should have given it a treatment If it is slightly uneven I think you’ll be fine Would like to use these on a front porch that has steps – concerned about the tracking under the tile showing along the edge of the steps The tracking isn’t too thick so probably not too much of an issue in my head Will work best if these fit well on your steps and don’t need cutting are you still happy with your choice to use these We are considering getting them but are weighing the pros and cons They are definitely the most cost effective from all the ones i have seen Way better than the concrete floor we had outside The only thing I would change is to treat them with some kind of oil that means it handles rain and moisture better We did that with other furniture – something like teak oil should work Do these make any sound when you walk on them Second question- earlier someone asked about installing on a step I have a step thats about 9 inches wide so would need to cut Can these be secured..nailed to step to keep them in place and hopefully prevent anyone from falling from a moving tile I have installed on a concrete floor but they are not staying stable How do you fix/secure the tiles to the under floor not only to each other I did have two sides of them against walls Does anyone have the grey plastic decking from Ikea We are thinking of purchasing it but can’t find any reviews thinking of getting the light grey plastic decking since the wood turns grey anyway and gets blotchy I assume we won’t have to treat the plastic This is a terrific thread – thanks for sharing Did you buy or place an additional border to secure the tiles Do you think they will last longer since they will be covered under screen porch Ok I will quickly leave my experience which has been excellent One person actually put sealant over them when he got them than after 2 years pressure wash them very lightly and remove the dirt and dust and resel them again and again $30 a can that covers about 150sf if you are good Make sure yo get the stuff that you can place on top of anything old or new others require you sand the surface clean of everything beforehand go that route if you have a power sander and long large pieces of wood Mine are placed on a finished concrete deck that slopes on all 4 corners to a drain in the center If you love draining plants on top the tile under the pot will likely begin to rot or break This is the best solution when trying to breathe some life into an otherwise drab surface or industrial setting An existing flat’ish deck to serve as a good foundation but also allows drainage is key to longer term success and if you don’t seal and reseal they will be gone in 2-3 years and with an exact can cut them into even smaller squares to fit just about any size or shape For people asking stupid questions like will they fly away in wind because I have to assume you mean a tornado otherwise what are you talking about they are so easy to assemble that I just put them all back together every morning after the midnight tornado hits Would you have any idea if these could work on a tuff ground in our rented apartment small yard I’d recommend it for concrete or paved floor It’s pretty flimsy on its own so probably won’t do This has been more than helpful in choosing to buy these for our back deck Hi..has anyone tried the Runnen grass deck tiles – I’m wondering if it is pet friendly Just wondering if the tiles should be removed during the cold of winter of Toronto

I comment Debottlenecking of one production line in Skoghall will result in 100,000 t of additional capacity Stora Enso will invest in board capacity expansion at the pulp and board mill in Skoghall The upgrade will reportedly increase the mill's capacity above 900,000 tpy and drive growth in attractive market segments such as liquid packaging board and coated unbleached kraft (CUK) board "The board expansion in Skoghall will be implemented through debottlenecking of one of the existing production lines, and executed in two steps, utilising the scheduled maintenance stops," Stora Enso announced. However, the group decided not to go ahead with the originally planned pulp capacity expansion at the Skoghall mill Stora Enso reportedly also commenced a pre-feasibility study for the conversion of the second fine paper machine to packaging board production at the Oulu mill in Finland The company expects the study to be finalised in early 2022 EUWID Pulp and Paper keeps busy professionals up-to-date on the latest news from international pulp and paper markets Test EUWID Pulp and Paper free of charge and without any obligation by clicking here Service Customer Service+49 7224 9397-701servicenoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.de Editorial Team+49 7224 9397-0papernoSpam@GO-AWAYeuwid.com Get the latest news about developments and trends in the industry sent to you once a week free of charge by newsletter Sign up for our newsletter We use cookies and external services on our website others enhance your user experience or help us improve this website You can change your privacy settings any time by clicking privacy policy Necessary cookies are required for the correct functioning of the website Content from video platforms and map services is blocked by default.

musical genre and nationalist narrative It’s the frictions between elements of both that create the fuel for Jaar’s happysad musical alchemy There’s a clear and very literal lineage behind this artistic outlook the traits that constitute Jaar’s style are a distillation of concepts visible in the work of his father the Chilean installation artist Alfredo Jaar Jaar works primarily with community-based projects The title page to his website features a couple of quotes which act as statement pieces to summarise his outlook and the site could plausibly double up as a launch site for Sirens The first quote comes from the Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran ‘The immense void I project upon the world overcome by both pleasure and despair in the most contradictory harmonies.’ It’s a beautiful passage and one that could constitute a verbal expression of the emotionally ambiguous component in the younger Jaar’s music This time it’s from William Carlos Williams a nineteenth century poet of dual United States and West Indian heritage “It is difficult to get the news from poems/ but men die miserably every day for lack of what is found there” This too seems to express an aspect of Nicolas’ work: not only the emotional but the political strain that’s so visible on Sirens It’s primarily the political that drives Alfredo’s art practice he described the reactive nature of his work how his creativity is a response to real-life events rather than a product of imagination alone I do not stare at the blank page of paper and start inventing a world coming from my imagination My imagination starts working based on research based on a real-life event—most of the time His works are underpinned by concrete geopolitical realities and a progressive an event which can so easily descend into a networking event for the upper echelons he scattered fragments of our global reality amongst the comfortable hubbub His work Gift saw volunteers hand out gift-boxes to visitors which opened up to reveal the image of Aylan Kurdi the small boy photographed tragically dead on the beaches of Europe in September 2015 Alongside the image was a quote from a journalist Mario Calabresi an urgent plea for the public not to look away The imaginative component in handing out gift-boxes in the context of an art fair is typical of his work which does not simply bash his audience over the head with the work’s political point but elevates it with a sense of the emotional A highlight of his career was his turn of the millenium work The Skoghall Konsthall for which he set up a sort of pop-up museum made of paper in the small paper-producing town of Skoghall in Sweden By constructing the museum out of the locality’s primary resource and then burning it to the ground Jaar was able to create a provocative and transient spectacle that spoke to the lack of cultural provision in the area and the potentially destructive impact of this lack the imaginative and the emotional that rendered this such a typically Alfredo Jaar piece It’s reminiscent of the burning house in Russian experimental filmmaker Tarkovsky’s The Mirror or of the same image in Charlie Kauffmann’s Synechdoche Something about the image of a building burning slowly and deliberately in real time seems filmic Jaar’s enflamed museum is like an image from Through A Glass Darkly but in the glorious technicolour of real life He is most widely known for a work aimed at raising awareness about the Rwandan genocide that lasted six-years perhaps the most widely known aspect of which is The Silence of Nduwayezu Nduwayezu was one of many orphans Jaar met in Rwanda who had witnessed the brutal killing of their parents Nduwayezu remained silent for weeks after the trauma and Jaar documented what he has referred to as “the saddest eyes I had ever seen.” Nduwayezu’s silence acts as a sort of mirror to the international community’s silence during the devastating tragedy of the genocide His son’s new LP begins with the sound of a breaking mirror and the punishing backdrop of global tragedy imaginative and infused with emotion;
