Ericsson Globe - Artwork

Artwork

A small cottage in aluminum with a 12-square-metre (130 sq ft) base was placed upon the Globe on May 26, 2009. The artist's intention with the arrangement is to illustrate two important symbols for Sweden: the high-technology Globe building and the traditional, simple small countryside cottage in Falu red with house corners painted in white. The house was positioned some distance from the exact top position of the Globe. The artwork with a cottage on the Globe is the first step within a larger project with the goal of placing the same type of small house on the Moon in 2012. The cottage remained on the Globe until October 2009.
