Looking at the new museum for the visual arts, Bildmuseet, in Umeå. A facing of larch. A building that meets security regulations. 7 floors and 36 metres. In 2014 they will have the space and security as well as the budget for international top artists.

Continuing on the railroad track
Everything will be of use.
Alternative steel plates. The pieces are from sleepers. Two or three welded together makes decent plates for the figures… I dismantled the metal from maybe twenty sleepers; I did this maybe twenty years ago when we were about to make a new landing.
It’s just a matter of time, everything will be of use.

Harping on the trains & barrells & chickens
The race. We used to play at the railway station. We must’ve been aged ten or eleven. We used to hide behind a pile of oil barrells and wait for a train to come and then cross the shunting yard running as fast as we could. It wasn’t more than seven or eight tracks to cross. The chicken race was to wait for the train, to wait until the very last second, and then cross the rails in front of the train and to have just enough time to pull oneself up onto the platform. Without the train managing to hit you… It was a stupid game, of course.
