Celebrating the 400 Year anniversary of 4 cities in Sweden (Luleå, Piteå, Gothenburg and Borås) 2021 with art installations on different themes connected to the specific city.
4 artists representing their respective city in each residency.
In Gothenburg I was chosen to represent my city together with Amanda Mediant (Piteå)/ Jenny Schinkler (Luleå)/ Odyessas Pappas (Borås).
Exploring and interpreting one of Gothenburgs specialities: Rain!
The residency Gothenburg AiR 4×400 was a collaboration between Göteborg & Co, TILLT and Rain Gothenburg. The national project involved Resurscentrum för konst, Konstkonsulenten in Norrbotten, Piteå kommun and Textile Fashion Center, Borås.
My specific work ”Heavy Weather” was made in close collaboration with sound artist Robert Axelsson/LiveLab and the voice of Kajsa Wallmon.
