Invited to create art suites out of ice and snow are the artists Nina Hedman and Lena Kristr&ouml;m as well as the designer Franziska Agrawal, amongst others.</strong></p><p>- The permanent part of Icehotel is open year-round and just like the art in the seasonal hotel, the art suites are temporary. The material is borrowed from Torne River, created by select artists from all over the world and constantly changes since the character of the ice and snow keep transforming until it eventually melts, says Arne Bergh, creative director at Icehotel.</p><p>Ten months have passed since the year-round part of Icehotel opened and now it&rsquo;s time to let three of the 20 art suites melt back into Torne River. Three new art suites will be presented at Icehotel during the month of October:</p><p><strong>&rdquo;34 meters&rdquo;</strong></p><p>In the Deluxe suite &rdquo;34 meters&rdquo; the architect and support manager for the artists at Icehotel Luca Roncoroni together with Dave Ruane create multiple rooms in the room with help of several walls. They master this by building 34 meters of wall in one single art suite with 32 tons of ice and 5 tons of snow.</p><p><strong>&rdquo;Danger Thin Ice&rdquo;</strong></p><p>The designer Franziska Agrawal from Germany creates the art suite &rdquo;Danger Thin Ice&rdquo;. Visitors literally walk on thin ice in this frozen sea landscape and a bridge runs through the art suite and connects with the bed.</p><p><strong>&rdquo;TheInvisible (Invincible) Army&rdquo;</strong></p><p>Artists Lena Kristr&ouml;m and Nina Hedman create the Deluxe suite &rdquo;The Invisible (Invincible) Army&rdquo;, which consists of a female army with ten women. They are each made with unique expressions, but everyone got a purse. The artwork gets its inspiration from the Terracotta army in China, Hans Runesson&rsquo;s picture &rdquo;The Lady With the Purse&rdquo; and Monty Python&rsquo;s women.</p><p><strong>For interviews or a press visit, contact PR Manager Josefin Lindberg at media@icehotel.com or call +46 739 232 725.</strong></p><p><strong>For images and more press releases, visit our </strong><a href=\"http://www.icehotel.com/about-icehotel/press-media/\">press site</a><strong>.</strong></p>",
