On the 14-15 May 2008 me and my dear fellows participated in the seminar on cultural planning and art in public space at Gävle Art Centre.
We presented our just-opened web site - initiative named the New Beauty Council – and the first theme we discussed with professors and students from Architectural school in Stockholm namely gender interpretation of the city surrounding.
Our project is initially a reply to the Stockholm City Beauty Council – the organisation, which has a mandate to decide how Stockholm should look like. We disagree with its conservative understanding what is beautiful, so we want to open up the place where other stories of the beauty can be spoken.
