The Norwegian capital's municipality has received a very bad idea.

It takes the municipality in each case, as it now has chosen to politianmelde a project, as it has requested and paid for.

It writes the Norwegian media Vårt Oslo.

the criminal complaint comes after the Oslo Municipality earlier in the year asked a French artist named Clet Abraham about to install artworks in the cityscape.

100 traffic signs around the city have been used as his canvas and piftet them up with new creativity - here one begins perhaps to see the problem.

In the artwork, which bears the name ‘The signs are a-changin’, has Clet Abraham sticky new designs, which fall in with the subjects, so that it forms new images.

in Addition to being bad, the idea is also not cheap.

the Artist's creative touches has claimed the lives of 423.000 Norwegian kroner equivalent to approximately 312.000 Danish kroner.

It was Oslo Municipality's culture committee, who decided to buy Clet Abraham's work, but it fell not on good ground with the very same municipality bymiljøudvalg.

"We believe that this action must be seen as vandalism. We run the risk that people misunderstand the signs, and it is dangerous. We are also afraid that people will lose respect for the road signs (...) We find the action unacceptable and is going to report it to the police," says Richard Konsteien, there is communication director bymiljøudvalget to Vårt Oslo.

the works of Art should be a part of the Oslo project on ‘pedestrian city life’, but the committee on cultural affairs will provide to the Norwegian media, that they knew not where the motives have to be installed - however, they were familiar with, that it should hang on the street signs.

Clet Abraham's artwork has for some time been very popular on the internet, and he has made similar works in Florence, Italy. The cultural committee recognises over for Vårt Oslo, the municipality has come to appear as ‘klummermikkeler’.
