Time to Stay
Three parts — Then, Now and Soon — each using the oak as a measure of time. Then: annual rings of felled trees sandblasted into entrance halls, their circumferences marked in the asphalt. Now: fourteen residents’ seating marks cut in oak and set as intarsia into park benches. Soon: twelve oak saplings grown from acorns collected on the site, planted collectively at the inauguration. An oak grows for 300 years, lives for 300 years and dies for 300 years.
Commissioner: Konstnärscentrum öst and Stockholm Konst Art consultant: Birgitta Silfverhielm
Special thanks to all the residents who contributed with their seating marks
