Apr 30, 2018 16:32 CEST Dalecarlian horses move into Göteborg Landvetter Airport For the sixth straight year, it is time for an exciting new wall of art at Göteborg Landvetter Airport. On Thursday, April 26, Shai Dahan’s nine-metre- long mural, which he painted while spending a week in the terminal, will be inaugurated. Since 2013, Göteborg Landvetter Airport has presented a number of artists on a wall in its departure hall. “We want to be an airport that people look forward to visiting, that sparks our passengers’ curiosity, and create a positive experience at the airport. We want to offer a good range of commercial products, world-class service and an inspiring atmosphere. This is where we meet, create, work, travel and experience – just one step between the population centres in this region and the world’s metropolises. During the year, we expect nearly seven million passengers to travel via Göteborg Landvetter Airport. That is as many visitors as the Louvre in Paris has, so this really is a unique place,” says Charlotte Ljunggren, airport director at Göteborg Landvetter Airport. Shai Dahan, who was born in the US in 1979, is a contemporary artist who works with paintings, murals, illustrations and sculptures. Inspired by graffiti and skateboarding culture, he picked up his first can of spray paint when he was fourteen years old. Among other activities, he has taken part in well- known street art projects such as the Underbelly Project, Mom&Pop-izm and the New York City Ad Takeover.
