The show started with a lineup of the elements to be used
on the first day, including a collection of Star Wars figures, a box
of Lego bricks and several bags of sugar. The sugar was poured on the
floor
in one of the gallery space's corners, underneath a large drawing ("Kapten
Krok", a combined self-portrait and recollection of a comic character
I drew while in school in Hisingen). A schoolhouse was built out of Lego
and Star Wars figures (themed around the snow planet
Hoth,
which
is
the
opening
locale
of the
movie "The Empire Strikes Back") placed around it. On the walls
and ceiling were gold-star stickers and cut out pictures of spaceships
from the Star Wars movies. On one wall I constructed a drawing of a labyrinth,
filled with Kapten Krok
figures.
In another corner was a monitor with a video of Älvsborgsbron (connecting
Hisingen with the rest of Gothenburg), a large painting of a pirate ship
manned by a hip-hop crew, plus some smaller paintings. A Playmobile pirate
ship, manned by Smurfs, was moved around
the gallery space. Two large paintings, "Hisingen" and "Under
the Villa" were also hung in the gallery, on the wall dividing the
inner and outer rooms.
