11 tegn for fremtidens Skive
I fremtidens globaliserede verden skal Skive leve af at få ideer. Derfor skal vi hele tiden blive bedre til at se det kendte fra nye vinkler. Til at sætte kendte faktorer sammen på nye måder. Til at få øje på det, vi plejer at overse. Det skal Skives 11 nye rundkørsler minde os om og inspirere os til. Skives 11 stjerner kan forstås som vores fælles idégeneratorer. De står som monumentale vartegn i egnens trafikknudepunkter, der hvor 10.000 af os passerer dagligt, og opfordrer os til at tænke over virkeligheden på nye måder. Til at overveje om noget kunne ses helt anderledes. På arbejdet, i familien, blandt vennerne, i vores eget sind.
Skives 11 stjerner er formgivet af den internationalt anerkendte tegnestue Jacob Jensen Design, som i 40 år har haft domicil i Hejlskov ved Skive. Alle skulpturerne er ligeledes - med undtagelse af de underliggende kompasringe - produceret af lokale virksomheder.
Skives 11 stjerner er resultat af et visionært lokalt samarbejde. Skive Kommune tog initiativet, men uden 20 lokale virksomheders stærke opbakning var det aldrig blevet realiseret. Jeg vil gerne på egnens vegne sige virksomhederne en stor tak. Lad os også se dette projekt som startskuddet til, at vi i fællesskab rækker ud efter stjernerne.

Familie
UFO’en er ikke i familie med nogle af de andre skulpturer. UFO’en er placeret i rundkørslen Ringvej Syd – Viborgvej.

Fortælling
UFO’en er fortællingen om det ukendte og det uventede. Den kan både forstås humoristisk og alvorligt.

Det første handler om det eksistentielt ironiske i, at man kan tilbagelægge millioner af lysår på rejse gennem universet og alligevel ramme syv meter ved siden af til sidst. Det er en oplevelse, som de fleste af os billedligt talt kan nikke genkendende til. Som sådan er UFO’en en opfordring til andre trafikanter om at fastholde et humoristisk syn på tilværelsen.

Det alvorlige handler om, hvordan vores planet ser ud. Er den så præsentabel, at vi er klar til at modtage gæster fra andre solsystemer? Eller er det sådan i vores hus, at ét barn får for meget, mens to andre børn lever i fattigdom? Og er det derfor, vi endnu ikke har fået besøg derudefra? UFO’en er også en opfordring til at tænke over, hvad vi vil sige til gæster, der ikke rammer forbi landingsstellet...

Form
Formen er inspireret af den flyvende tallerken, sådan som UFO’er så ud i de gode gamle dage. Sådan som vi kender dem fra science fiction-film, slørede fotografier og tvivlsomme beretninger.

11 Signs of the future Skive
In the future global world Skive must live by its ideas, therefore we must continuously become better at looking at the known from new angles. To put together known factors in new ways. To notice the things that we usually overlook. This is what the 11 roundabouts in Skive have to remind us and inspire us to do. The 11 Stars of Skive can be understood as our common generators of ideas. They are standing as monumental symbols in the junctions of the area where 10,000 people pass by every day, encouraging us to think about reality in new ways. To consider if something could be completely different. At work, in our families, among our friends, in our minds.
The 11 Stars of Skive must contribute to putting the area of Skive on the world map of new thinking. They must tell the world that there is a foresighted city in Jutland that, in the name of globalisation, invests in the creativity of its residents in an original, beautiful, and internationally spectacular manner. They must tell the world that there is a city that makes an effort.
The 11 Stars of Skive have been designed by the internationally reputable design studio Jacob Jensen Design, which has been domiciled in Hejlskov near Skive for 40 years. All the sculptures have also been produced by local companies, with the exception of the underlying compass rings.
The 11 Stars of Skive are the result of a visionary local working relationship. The Municipality of Skive took the initiative, but the project had never been carried through without the strong support of 20 local companies. On behalf of the municipality I would like to thank these companies. Let this project mark a new beginning where we reach out for the stars together.

Family
The UFO is located at the Ringvej Syd - Viborgvej roundabout. The UFO is not related to any of the other sculptures.

Story
The UFO is the story of the unknown and the unexpected. The interpretation of it can be both humorous and serious.

The first story tells us that it is existentially ironic that you can cover millions of light years travelling through the universe and still be seven metres off-target in the end. It is an experience which most of us figuratively speaking can give a nod of recognition. As such the UFO encourages other road users to maintain a humorous view of life.

The serious story is about what our planet looks like. Is it so presentable that we are ready to receive guests from other solar systems? Or does it happen in our house that one child gets too much and two other children live in poverty? And is that the reason why we have not yet had visitors from out of space? The UFO also encourages us to consider what we would say to guests who do not miss the landing ground...

Form
The form was inspired by the flying saucer, the way that UFOs used to look in the good old days. The way they look in science fiction films, blurred photographs, and dubious accounts.
