Collaborations
|
In 2001 Thomas and I was in a group show at Waygood Gallery in Newcastle where we came across the brutalistic sculpture Apollo Pavilion by artist Victor Pasmore made in the late 60s in the small town Peterlee outside of Newcastle. For the exhibition Tensta Museum we made a collaboration based on the Apollo Pavilion where the UK New Towns Act from 1946 docked with the Stockholm Million programme in the early 70´s, at the peak of the positive belief in the future. The sculpture worked as stage for a series of video projections that described the history and various adventures of the Apollo Pavilion. We remixed the Pavilion and transformed it in to a space ship that ended up in Tensta, Sweden. The whole set is also planned to work as a scenography for an possible punk rock opera The hanging of the monkey - Life is cheap, death is free. |
