âOUT OF SIGHTâ
By Tristan Eaton
In 1826 BorĂ„s, Sweden saw its first printing company open, and soon after the city had its first journal, and the local dependency on news was establishedâonly interrupted for a week when the town burned to the ground a year later. Eventually becoming the BorĂ„s Tidning in 1938, and transitioning to a daily in 1949 the local paper has witnessed the rise and fall of newspaper circulations everywhere, but while its down almost a third from its peak of more than 60,000 and the format has seen some changes, it marches on. In 2015 Los Angeles street art icon Tristan Eaton was in BorĂ„s for the No Limit festival, and painted this mashup of different images in what Upper Playground refers to as âhis signature patchwork imageryâ on the side of the BorĂ„s Tidning offices at AllĂ©gatan and Fabriksgatan. @tristaneatonâ @borastidning  @nolimitboras
