(No Screening Sunday & Monday nights) Fredrika Andersson I am a painter and use my painting-practice as a platform for ideas that later on can be developed into other media such as animation and three-dimensional objects. My work revolves around issues concerning existence and essence. Title: Magiska Mysterie Turnén A stop-motion animation. Link to artist website:>>> Andreas R. Andersson In my artistic process I have issues regarding where contemporary art is today, what can be done and what can I do? Critics are constantly discussing if it´s possible to take a step further or if the current situation must begin to refer back. What happens if one is not fixed in its meaning? Can one say that the death of art is its progress and how do you move from there? How do we understand and relate ourselves to the abstract art when its borders have since long been repudiated and revalued? Title: We've got 13,73 ± 0,12 billion years of memory in our minds All my desires in one minute Link to artist website: >>> Martinka Bobrikova/Oscar de Carmen Martinka Bobrikova and Oscar de Carmen are multi-media artist whose work spans performance, installation, video and sound. They work together since 2005. Their field of work is to investigate and analyze, through the food collected by them in rubbish bins. They focus their field of action on environmental actions and events organized in the streets in order to prove that that there is a mutual connection between the intolerability of our planet and the food products defined as products subject to spoilage under the quality policies of hypermarkets, supermarkets and groceries, as well as producing energy out of it to make their art sustainable by itself. Title: made of waste We show our field work, where we investigate and analyze, through the food collected by us in rubbish bins. These food products destinate to be consumed, which have been considered and perishable discard, are quantified. We focus our field of action on environmental actions and events organized in the streets in order to prove that there is a mutual connection between the intolerability of our planet and the food products defined as products subject to spoilage under the quality policies of hypermarkets, supermarkets and groceries. Is a 1 min stop motion video made out of 1600 photos of the eco-actions/ eco-interventions undertaken by us in Spain and UK during 2007. Link to artists website:>>> Andrés Diaz Garcia Sculpture and video surround into space arranging wide senses in profound connection with realistic view of life. I take this to develop own ways of recognition about my society. Trough arts language and poetic elements my efforts focused on show those imperceptible things I’m not agree, those that are not fair but commonly seemed normal for our own culture like mechanisms of power and domination, memory and forgiveness, territory and identity, among others. Title: Ground Our soul looks for ground where to grow down his roots so if we lost our ground we lost our soul. The Identity of the people an nation who have belong entirely to rural places is to be in that places, to feed their souls seeding plants, feeling nude ground below their feet. They, we, you are ground where to grow up our imagination and dreams. If we loss our ground, being displaced from their places by thieves: where our soul goes? Link to artist website:>>> Heidi-Anett Haugen I see art as an open process. I see art as a way of communicate, and a way to collaborate. My works concern everyday life and the public sphere. Often my works are from a women perspective, and about woman experience. I am interested in feminist theory, and how to corporate it into my work.

Their first contribution is a text-based project, generated from a workshop on dissent and diversity. An exploratory process with discussions on issues of shared space including the boundaries of the group as a collaborate entity. Text and images surrounds us, commercial companies buy or rent space in the public sphere to deliver their messages. Public Projections - Gothenburg asks artists to claim (reclaim) the public sphere and open up a critical dialog on urban space. The project from the Valand-group invites the by-passer to reflect on the transformation of the space as single words or phrases appear. Some of the phrases are derived from experiences in everyday life others are quotes from information campaigns used in the elections yet another strand hits the sense of escapism and fantasy. The span in the texts stretches from playful to serious and sincere all set to activate the urban space.
