August 9, public event at Hållnäs Local heritage center, Hållnäs peninsula, Sweden
The location, project and work process:
The work process and public event took place at Local heritage center, Edvalla, in central Hållnäs peninsula close to the Baltic Sea in Sweden. The theme of the project was Past/Present/Any-time. The artists chose and bonded with some of the old objects from the collection at the heritage center. Working within a contemporary art frame, the old objects were given a new life as contemporary art and sound objects.
