Stricter guidelines for you in Västerbotten

Due to this, we are closing our museum for the time being, which also means that we will not accept booked tours.Hold out everyone! 🙏🏼♥️

 

Stricter guidelines for you in Västerbotten

From 10 November until 13 December, everyone in Västerbotten County is urged to:

  • If possible, physical contact with people other than those with whom you live should be avoided. This means, among other things, advice against arranging or taking part in parties or similar social gatherings.
  • You should also avoid certain types of activities if they are impossible to carry out with physically distancing yourself from other people, such as contact sports, healthcare or beauty treatments that are not for medical reasons.
  • Refrain from visits to indoor environments such as shops, shopping centres, museums, libraries, swimming pools and gyms. Necessary visits to grocery stores and pharmacies are allowed.
  • Refrain from participating in gatherings such as meetings, concerts, performances, sports training, matches and competitions. However, this does not apply to sports training for children and young people born in 2005 or later.
  • Refrain from making unnecessary trips. Trips within or between regions can contribute to increasing the spread of infection because you often meet new people, which results in the start of new chains of infection. One should therefore refrain from such travel insofar as possible. This advice is not intended to prevent people from, for example, going to work, studies/employment or care that requires you to be on site.

Necessary close contact is allowed, for example during healthcare visits and medical examinations.

The decision also includes stricter general recommendations for workplaces and businesses – such as shops, shopping centres and sports facilities.

  • All businesses should take steps to ensure that each and every one can follow the general recommendations. Employers should take measures such as encouraging personnel to work from home, offering more opportunities for remote work and postponing business travel, conferences and other physical meetings.

Other businesses can minimise the number of visitors present on their premises at the same time, adapt opening hours or offer digital alternatives.

Special restrictions

As of 24 November 2020, a maximum of 8 persons is allowed at public gatherings and events. This also applies to seated audiences. This restriction is applicable until further notice. An exception is made for funerals, where a maximum of 20 persons is allowed

Ricklundgården proudly presents; Ilar Gunilla and Anna-Karin.

Together, Ilar and Anna-Karin have had a residency in Folke’s studio during the month of March.

Ilar has worked with landscape pictures during her time at Ricklundgården. She has experimented with beeswax as a surface treatment on photographs.
“- I have two different themes in my art, one is more political if I think something is wrong or unfair in society. The other is landscape pictures, which have become almost like meditation.
I have tried to get away from the fact that as a photographer you have to do things a certain way when framing photos. Now I only use wood and beeswax.”

Anna-Karin works with a technique where charcoal is always the basis.
“- Based on four directions and ideas, I have tested and explored what I should continue to work with. Sometimes you have to end up in the stage where you stand completely still, in order to then move on.”

Ilar is and works as a photographer and artist. Anna-Karin is an artist and works as a nurse.

We at Ricklundgården are extremely grateful and happy that Ilar Gunilla and Anna-Karin have chosen to come to us. Their energy and passion for art is contagious. We would like to thank all participants for the very interesting and moving Artist Talk last Thursday!

Since March 16th, the artist duo has been working in Annexet with the project, working title: Deavam / The Memory of the Place.

The project is about depicting the stories of different places and territories through yarn and the body. “In previous work, we have dyed yarn from four different places that are important to our family’s history around Vilhelmina and Åsele municipality.”
– “During the time that the residency at Ricklundgården has taken place, we have sketched, planned and tested ideas for the work that will be created.
The work will consist of a fabric, choreography and soundscape by Cicely Irvine when it is ready.”

Linnea works as a freelance dancer and choreographer based in Stockholm.
Ida-Isak is a textile artist based in Luleå and Övertorneå.

We at Ricklundgården are very happy and proud to have hosted this artist duo during these weeks in varying beautiful spring and winter weather.
