De finns, men de syns inte direkt.
2003-2010 >

In theese pictures the room is 3 x 3 m and the corridor 1,30 x 3 m. All covered with moss-green carpet. In the wholes, you can find signs from both humans and animals, like a trunk filled of beaver-bites. But it could also look like it does now at the exhibition TA PLATS! at the Culturehouse in Stockholm.

TA PLATS! >

The sound and the fairytale is formarly made in colloboration with the Swedish Radio, > SrC. When I was invited to KMAS at the hospital of Rosenlund in Stockholm, I decided to recreate the sound, put some new animal call/sound on it and make a room for it.

Many thanks to the artists Lisa Jonasson and Bella Rune who assisted me during the installation. Photos John Håkansson and Agnes Torell.

About KMAS
Konst med alla sinnen (Art With All Senses)
Po Hagström Project leader, 2007 - 2009
Po Hagström >

This is a project for people with multi disabilities (a combinations of many disabilities). It might be a child who has been born with reduced sight, without hearing and without mobility. Or it can be an adult who has lost the short term memory and several physical functions in an accident. The personnel at Händelseriket (ca. ”Event domain”) explained how society is almost completely closed for this group of people – with the exception for the contemporary art scene.
Contemporary art often stimulate multiple senses at the same time and it can be interactive (two important criteria for multi disabled) so the personnel tried to find these contemporary exhibitions on their spare time, in order to inform the relatives and assistants of the people with multi disabilities.
We decided that if good information about the art scene can improve the lives of this isolated group, then why not do it.
