Not an ordinary tourist in Stockholm, the town of zero tolerance
Last months we have seen some strange figures all around Stockholm. They look funny and make us happy!
We have been wondering who's writing RASK tags and silvery throw ups everywhere in town? What is this all about?
Rask is an active painter who loves big cities. He was visiting Stockholm just before Christmas. You can see a film made of Spray Daily and @olliennordh about him RASK film and read a very interesting interview made of Grandsmack on RASK interview

Do you know about the Zero tolerance of Graffiti in Stockholm?
We got many questions on Instagram and will try to explain!
From the policy, in short: "Tags, graffiti and street art are not accepted and this policy is valid for all types of properties, land, facilities, vehicles etc. Cleanup, removal of graffiti and similar vandalism is to happen within 24h".
"The City shall not engage in or support activities or events not clearly repudiates graffiti, illegal graffiti and the like vandalism. The City will not participate in activities at can somehow spark interest and lead to graffiti, illegal graffiti or similar vandalism."
The whole policy if you want to read: Policy of Zero tolerance

The result of this is that we don´t have any legal wall in Stockholm. Street Art Festivals, workshops, courses and exhibitions has been stopped.
It´s must be a change!
Recently we have seen a film about the artist Nug in swedish television and some articles are publicized about swedish graffiti artists. The swedish site on Instagram "Tags & Throws" has as many followers as the most popular graphic artists in Sweden. Some weeks ago there was a political discussion in the town of Stockholm. Something is going on! It is election year!
People are trying in different ways to do something. The blog gatukonst.se collect news and articles of graffiti and zero tolerance. They write about people, places and graffiti art.
The artist Stella Pilback made a wall on wheels in her study of design. For some days it was possible to write and paint in the hart of Stockholm city, Sergelstorg because there is no policy for walls on wheels!
And this is the wall on wheels :-)

GOOD BYE 5 POINTZ
I can´t belive it´s true! It´s so sad! 5 Pointz is painted white.
All the incredible art is gone.
I am so glad I have been there two times. First time in 2012 and last time in June 2013, on the great graffititour with James Top, I met Meres and saw him painting. He showed us really nice paintings and I have some pics of this very nice, and now historical moment!

Is this art a crime?
Karlstad, in Värmland, has a legal graffiti wall. There is a graffiti coordinator of the municipality and possible to study street art at Karlstad University.
Stockholm city has zero tolerance graffiti and policy means that the city will not participate in activities that can somehow spark interest in graffiti. There is no way for graffiti artists to express themselves legally in the public domain. Street art and graffiti are considered creating insecurity and need to be removed within 24 hours. Other Scandinavian capitals have in recent years made zero tolerance for a more multifaceted approach (from "Zero tolerance" of Jacob Kimvall).
Top Line: Paintings from Stockholm, including one by the artist Hop Louie. Bottom Line: Paintings from the legal wall in Karlstad by artist Super G. The heart is still there on a wall in Stockholm. Anonymous.
We put this pics on a favorite cafe in southern part of Stockholm. Café Skåningen, Skånegatan 91.
