Project 282. Variation on Chaenomeles Japonica

For some time now the House of Apples [Äpplets Hus] and the Kivik Cider factory have tried some unconventional collaboration with artists in order to add a new and different dimension to operations there. At an early stage of the Rosenkvitten project, the cultural producer Susan Bolgar was contacted in order to discuss how an artistic form of research might look like. It was decided, after introductory talks, that the task was to be given to me. This decision fell back on earlier works which I had done, like “Sebastian’s playful fruit” in Lileholm’s park in Stockholm.

The task was formulated in a simple fashion: In the golden hall (The House of Apples’ project room), visitors were to be offered an additional dimension of the on-going research project. Besides printed informational material the visitor would have a visible experience which added to the knowledge one could read about in the printed material.
