This post is about door number 6 in the advent calendar GADEHJERTEJULEKALENDEREN (which means The Streetheart Christmas Calendar) that Christina & I have put together in collaboration with 24 of the street artists in Denmark. I'm not really sure how big advent calendars are outside of DK - but here they are very popular - both the chocolate ones, the picture ones & the gift ones - especially amongst children of course, but grown-ups need excuses to play more on an everyday level - & that is one of the things that street art is able to remind us & this is what our christmas calendar is all about!
We want it to remind us all that there is more to life than rules & things we have to do because some one told us to - it reminds us to play more & smile more or think more - instead of just leading a 9-5 life.
Regnbuebanden (The Rainbowcrew) who are behind this splash of color in the city of Copenhagen believe that color sometimes adds that little extra something to the city - especially when it shows up in unexpected places & shapes. Last winter they colored the snow with rainbows, they have done some delightful guerilla knitting pieces this summer, & they continue to try to come up with ways of adding color to your life.
Of course I had to mention this door in particular at it treats to one of my very favorite colors - rainbow!!!
Join the event on facebook to follow the door opening in the calendar & to find the clues to where you can go hunting for doors in the calendar in the city if you live here in Copenhagen.
