Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I samband med det forskningsprojektet Ingrepp genomfördes en Ingreppfestival med avseende på att i ett öppet publikt sammanhang diskutera utgångspunkterna forskningsgruppen formulerat i tabloiden Ingrepp – en tidning om städer, planering och konst, vilket delades ut gratis en vecka innan festivalen. I tidningen hittade man läsning kring städer, stadsutveckling, konst och konstnärlig forskning vilken hade bäring på den utvecklingsprocess som pågick och pågår på Södra Älvstranden i Göteborg. Både tabloiden och festivalen var ett direkt uttryck för gruppen vilja att ta ut diskussionen på gatan och i sitt sammanhang, men också ett sätt att pröva konstens och akademins möjligheter att gripa in och delta i samhälleliga skeenden. Festivalen vilken turnerade runt på fyra platser under fyra dagar längs Södra Älvstranden innefattade allt ifrån inbjudna samtal/debatter/seminarier till workshops kring Södra Älvstrandens framtid till tipspromenader, picnics och olika former av performativa iscensättningar under bar himmel.

Artwalks and healthcare architecture as curatorial space
- 2012

In: Proceedings of ARCH12, 12-14 Nov 2012, Gothenburg.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- If you visit a hospital you will sooner or later run into works of art. You find them in “strategic” places such as waiting areas and corridors where they might at best offer relief and joy. In the context of Swedish County hospitals, these artworks “on loan”, handled, distributed and installed by art-consultants/curators, are parts of regional collections, which sometimes sums up to over 50000 pieces from different artists, from different periods and of different makings.Curating, as in caring for art and its sites, has over the past decades changed the way we engage with art, turning exhibitions into an artform in its own right. Claiming that an exhibition is more than the sum of its pieces and that, depending on what pieces you choose and how you relate them, new meaning might be brought into motion.In considering the hospital as a site for art, historically there has been a strong emphasis on the single art-works and their sites, presuming a more or less passive and immobile audience. In this, when it comes to constructing narratives (as in exhibitions), calling for the combinatory interplay between numerous sites, the curatorial potential of the hospital as exhibition is underdeveloped.The art-walks (Konstpromenader) at Akademiska Sjukhuset in Uppsala is a first step towards this line of thinking, where the existing art-works have been curated into artwalks, supplemented with a brochure where you find directions and biographical notes on each piece. Developed to promote physical activity and cultural stimulation, these art-walks provide caretakers as well caregivers with a comprehensive narrated art exhibition (and not only single and isolated art-works).The concept of art-walks is not new but it ́s implementation into a healthcare architecture context, turning the hospital into a dynamic multimodal space of experience, is with out precursor. This paper outlines the implications of this practice (Konstpromenader) and further on, proposes a new understanding of hospitals as spaces of experience, promoting health as well as art and architecture, addressing subjects as subjects, and not as patients.

Canvassing / VIdeobutiken
- 2012
-
In: Galleri Konstepidemin, Göteborg.
-
Artistic work (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Arbetet med Videobutiken (se https://gupea.ub.gu.se/handle/2077/28345) ställdes ut på en samlingsutställning Canvassing kurerad av Kalle Brolin och Kristina Muntzig. Ifråga om Videobutiken visades en rad, bilder, utsnitt, texter och citat vilka tillsammans utgjorde en form av porträtt av arbetet i stort, i form av färgutskrifter i A4-format vilka satt fritt nålade på en gemensam vägg. Bredvid väggen stod ett bord med en stol där en “karta” över “väggen” var uppritad och där det var möjligt att läsa sig till källor och ursprung för texter och bilder.

Kroppar under träd – en miljö för konstnärlig forskning

Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This dissertation in the field of artistic research is an articulation, in words and images, on the experience of working with a notional environment for artistic research. It is not a reflection on or a description of the process which the work has involved, but above all an articulation, characterisation and development, in words and images, of the conceptual and pictorial world constituted during, through and in the course of the actual work on an environment for artistic research in Vasaparken, Göteborg. The work is the design of a design process or, in the words of Aristotle, a form of poetic, in which great importance has been attached to making the special relationship between the concrete project and the text as clear as possible. Underlying this concrete work is an interest in the fundamental issue of the dynamic relation between activities (people), environments (buildings) and outward circumstances in perspectives of change. These issues are of a general nature but are especially relevant in relation to the emergence of new fields and practices, as in the case of artistic research. That is to say, fields, activities and practices which are more open by nature and more amenable to change than is usually the case with established fields, activities and practices. This work can also be viewed as a form of travel report, both general and specific, in the hope that it can be used as a form of guide book, to be read by those similarly interested and wishing to undertake corresponding journeys, but it can also serve as travel literature for those interested in the places or in travel as such.

The Videostore

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper explores the notion of architects and designers as facilitators and design processes as processes of actualization and cultivation in relation to two research projects performed in a suburb of Gothenburg, Backa. Suggesting that there is a lack of places where issues of social sustainability, in relation to city development, can be discussed and probed on an everyday basis outside professional and formal structures, an informal and experimental space, a “civic-lab” was established, by the researchers in a former Video-store for those everyday experts, living, working and spending time in the area for four months. Centrally located the 200 sqm space, at the ground floor, with big windows facing the street and where interior had been stripped out provided a low-key platform. Asking: In what way can an open, informal and performative space dedicated to development of local ideas and initiatives and supported by researchers become a tool of mobilization in relation to city planning and city development? The question of how to deal with and build upon the everyday life and concerns of people within city development and urban planning is an urgent socio-political matter at the core not only of social as well as ecological and economical sustainability. Demographic tools are well developed but as tools they merely entitle and priorities professional knowledge and a linear logic often produces predictable outcomes, being exclusive rather then inclusive This kind of knowledge needs to be complemented by processes that reflect and include desires, concerns, dreams, individual and collective narratives. In this context the tradition to deal with experience in an open non-instrumental way, which one can find within practices of art, provided a productive platform. With a mix of experiences and methods from a social work, architecture and design, the former video-store became the platform for picking up, connecting, expanding and bifurcating local ideas into autonomous initiatives, such as small-scale urban farming, a flea-market and home-work/handicraft evenings for children. These “small changes” bear witness to the lack of interplaces in contemporary Swedish society where initiatives can connect and grow, as well as how designers can engage in these processes without risking high-jacking processes which might not be theirs to run? In addition, the Video-store also contained issues of power, democracy and responsibility. Ideally local democracy is a way of strengthening the interaction between the municipality and people. It is about the sharing of power, but can also be a way of reassigning responsibility from state to individuals, or of strengthening certain “loud” groups in favor of others on the margin. Therefore the purpose of the Video-store was to prototype processes as well as discuss issues of democracy, the possibilities and limitations of participation, the tensions and “passions” in the relationship between people and the local as well as central administration, city planners, architects and politicians as situated within current frameworks and processes.
