In earlier projects I have been working with constructing functional
rooms which are possible to use one way or another, such as living
rooms, sleeping rooms, conference rooms or Kitchens. These rooms
has been put into unexpected contexts, for example one living room
are placed in the arrival tunnel to a waterpowerplant in Kristiansand,
Norway and a conference room in a very run down building in Dresden.
In my latest work which were shown at Malmo art museum in January
this year I worked with redesigned artefacts such as lamps, chairs,
wallpaper and a kitchen table placed on podiums in different heights
and sizes in an interior landscape with different possibilities
for the visitors to get through.
( more information are available at www.malmo.se
and malmo art museums webbside click at earlier exhibitions).
In the project at Window space I have chosen a literal interpretation
of the conditions and because of the fact that this is a window
with a windowsill which one normally use to put decorations in the
shape of maybe a lamp and some flowerpots, in this context I chose
another direction, the starting point for me is decorations as well
but in the shape of seven little to big and hand carved sparrows
placed amongst pieces of carpet in a frozen scenario. The title
of the work is ?Birds and rugs?.
