In December the Planet Blue project will result in a public event in Stockholm, together with Raketa and The New Beauty Council.
Tonights meeting made a few things clearer, and opened up a lot of possibilities.
Looking forward to this.

Planet Blue to phase 3

Planet Blue is being dismantled at Botkyrka konsthall today, in order to travel as a project into Stockholm again.

Individual responibility for consumer power

Magnus Boström, sociolog, Södertörns högskola, har bland annat forskat om grön konsumtion och miljömärkning samt Ylva Uggla, sociolog, Örebro universitet, som forskat om miljövänliga livsstilar, diskuterar dessa frågor med konstnären Julia Adzuki som genom SymbioLab väcker frågor kring miljö och livsstil.

Lisa Jeannin and Rolf Schuurmans work grows

The work of Lisa Jeannin and Rolf Schuurmans at Planet Blue expands. In addition to their ”Insiktstorn” (Insight Tower), there is now a 14 min video. Amazing work, and it is partly based on research from the NESS conference 2011.

Fittja Open is planned

The program for Fittja Open – part of Planet Blue – takes shape. I will primarily work with events connected to Planet Blue, such as the development of the exhibition, lectures, the catalogue etc.

Opening Planet Blue



Urban farming, eco architecture, food performances and green activism. In the shadow of ongoing climate change the exhibition Planet blue examines how we live, eat, consume and build our communities in the most unexpected ways and places. We have invited artists, architects, designers and environmentalists to test and present their ideas to a greater public. Botkyrka’s allotment gardens, social scientists, and students – they all come together and collaborate in an exhibition that runs from May to October. Together we cultivate and harvest, discuss and dream our way into a shared future in Botkyrka.

Artists: Julia Adzuki, Katja Aglert, Parasto Backman, Lisa Jeannin och Rolf Schuurmans, Kultivator, The New Beauty Council och Tillväxt, Open Restaurant, Marjetica Potrc och Konsthögskolan i Hamburg (HFBK) och Kungl Konsthögskolan i Stockholm, Antonio Scarponi, SymbioLab, and more.

Curators: Po Hagström, Katrin Behdjou Söderlund, Joanna Sandell

Forest garden accepted at Stockholm university!

When the Power Landscapes project began, combined with the NESS conference, at the Stockholm University a year ago, the New Beauty Council and Tillväxt made a proposal: Lets install a forest garden at the campus, which allows students to meet and eat together.
This is now a reality!
As far as I know, Stockholm University will have Stockholms first real forest garden!

New assignement: Curator for Fittja Open 2012

I will curate Fittja Open together with Joanna Sandell and Katrin Behdjou. I have allways loved the art program in Botkyrka, and it is exciting to combine this with the exhibition Planet Blue. Opening September 2012.

Power Landscapes to Botkyrka art hall

It is now clear that Power Landscapes opens at Botkyrka art hall this spring, one of the most exciting art contexts in Sweden. It opens in the middle of May and run during this summer.

Power Landscapes #1 ends

Today the conference ends, and the starting point of the art project Power Landscapes was closed. I packed everything and the biggest problem was – what to do with the fish from Scaropni’s Malthus? Too small to eat, too alive to kill. Eventually they got a VIP ride to an aquarium, all by themselves. (Photo: Po Hagström)
