Institutional Presentation Statement

The Swedish-Japanese exchange project: coming! is a continuous discussion and an implementary action project setting out to formulate visions concerning moving images in public space. Coming! will be accomplished through meetings and talks with artists, technicians, architects, writers and others involved in the development of public space. The project aims to present art works throughout the Stockholm cityscape in 2004 exploring different aspects on what is a crucial, and contemporary, democratic issue. Coming! will offer open visions concerning all those important city ‘rooms’ we all visit every day: in buses, schools, airports, stations, streets, daily papers, on the internet, on the billboards and so on. Coming! will also complement these ideas by editing a publication capturing the discussions, visions and settings for future public space.
