23/7

The laptop computer was hooked up to the speakers by the western wall and the Elsewhere Right Now concert was played through them. On the screen could be seen a slideshow of photographs from the concert.

The cut-out drawings of a house were removed from the western wall. The drawing of the interior of a room was moved from it's position to the left of the drawing of some people in a bar and instead placed next to the photograph of a grapevine-covered patio. To the right of this photograph a new cut-out drawing of a house with a figure standing in the kitchen was placed. The cut-out drawing of a figure playing instruments in an apartment was placed right above the new cut-out drawing of a house, also linking it up to the drawing of some figures walking outside of a cafe ("Vox Pop"). The new cut-out drawing of a house overlapped with the drawing of a figure in a landscape of tangled lines with the word-balloon saying "Jag vet att det vänder". Right below this drawing was placed another one portraying several concerts taking place in several different locations: at the Bowery Ballroom, at Trädgårn, and on a pier. Word balloons in the drawing read "You are the light", "Girlfren", "Let her go into the darkness", "let her go", "let her go", "let her go" and "Don't rush to be by my side". To this drawing the cut-out drawing of a building ("Trädgårn") was attached, linking it up on the left side with the drawing of some heads, a chalice and a figure laying in a sofa listening to a stereo with the head of Morrissey floating above it. Right below the drawing of the concerts the cut-out drawing of a house with three figures in a kitchen (one of them playing guitar), and several others in the living room was placed.
A drawing of a head surrounded by cinnamon-rolls and a star overhead was placed to the right of the photograph of someone in a Morrissey-wig. Right below this drawing the drawing of two figures sitting on a stoop outside of a building was placed (having been removed from the outer eastern wall).
The drawing of two figures in an apartment with Moomin-Trolls outside was also removed from the outer eastern wall and instead placed on the western wall between the drawing of some figures outside a cafe and the drawing of some figures in a bar.
Underneath the photograph of the spine of the Jens Lekman record "You are the Light" (situated underneath the drawing of some figures in a bar) a drawing of some skeletons performing a concert at a venue called "The Cake Shop" was placed. To the left of this drawing a photograph of the sleeve of an album by "Love is All" was attached to the wall. Right above this photograph a cut-out drawing of a band performing was placed, and right below it another drawing -also of a band performing, but inside a building with some trees and a river outside, as well as stars and a moon above- was situated.

The photograph of a flyer for a Sonic Youth/YeahYeahYeah's show on the inner eastern wall was moved and placed underneath the cluster of drawings and photographs depicting, among other things, snow-covered streets, a walking figure and a word-balloon reading "boys don't cry".
The drawing of some heads and figures surrounded by jagged lines/forms and lightning bolts striking buildings, which had previously been hanging on the western wall, was instead moved to underneath the drawing of the "Veggie Castle" restaurant. Below this drawing, in turn, was placed a drawing of a female figure, with a head floating on her right side, a moon and several stars above her head, and a combined peace and anarchy sign. To the right of the drawing of the "Veggie Castle" restaurant the cut-out drawing of a house with a figure sitting with a laptop in the kitchen, a band rehearsing and three figures sitting outside in a grapevine-covered patio was attached to the wall. In the upper left-hand corner of the "Veggie Castle" drawing another drawing, of a figure surrounded by safety-pins and railway-lines spray-painting an anarchy sign, was placed, linking it up to the cut-out drawings of a rehearsal-space (to the right), and the abstract tangle of lines (to the left). Above this was the drawing of a band performing at the "Sound Fix" record store. To the left of this drawing was attached a photograph of the sleeve to a CD by Love is All and a drawing of some figures barbequeing on a mountainside (which overlapped with the vaguely abstract drawing right above it).
The drawing of a band playing in a building, with two figures standing by the entrance, was moved to right where the wall meets the floor, to the left of the cut-out drawing of five figures and the photograph of an anarchy sign.
On the far right-hand side of the wall, next to the track-listing for the CD-player, a drawing of a figure playing guitar was placed.

At the outer eastern wall a drawing of a figure walking in a forest was placed to the left of the drawing of the band Kartoffel Menschen Trio performing the song "Disco Chaos", linking it up to the photograph of clusters of berries growing on a tree. Right below the drawing of the walking figure was placed the drawing of some figures in a landscape with an underground cavern. To the left of this drawing a photograph of a large building in a classical style, surrounded by trees and standing next to a river, was attached. Another drawing was placed to the right, this one depicting some figures in a bar (word-balloons reading "Spuyten Duyvil", "Beer", "Lambic beer", "I have to go to a restaurant with my ex", "Can we swap shirts?" and "Sure"), a shirt, a figure singing into a microphone and a band playing on the moon above it. Below this drawing another drawing depicting several figures in a cityscape (eating in restaurants named "Gandhi" and "The V-spot" and standing in an instrument-store) was situated. Word balloons read "Morning Star!", "It's just a fuckin' planet", "Gandhi", "Funny", "Egyptology", "Isis...Virgin Mary", "Bell", "General Slocum Disaster Centennial plaque...boat caught fire at Hell's Gate", "Goddess Inanna attributed to Venus, morning/evening star", "Goddess Inanna orginial Virgin Mary archetype, descended into the netherworld. Hell's Gate". Two bands could also be seen performing in the drawing -one playing "You are the light". The other band, with the name "Entombed" emblazoned on the drum-kit, perform a song with the text-lines "Phosphorus Lucifer Praise to the Morning Star". A bridge could also be seen on the drawing. To the left of this drawing yet another one was placed, this one with a figure in front of a classical-style building with parasols bearing the legend "Luna Park" and a statue outside of it, as well as a moon above it. Word-balloons attached to the figure read "There's another Lincoln statue by the same sculptor in Prospect Park" and "Where Lincoln once stood now Gandhi stands". There is some greenery and two other statues in the drawing: a figure is standing in front of one of them with a word-balloon reading "Gandhi". Two other buildings could also be seen in the drawing, as well as subway entrances.
Underneath the photocopied sketchbook drawing of some sitting figures -one of them with an acoustic guitar- and the text "They said you were punk You're punk!" a drawing of a head, two buildings, a figure playing an electric guitar, a chalice, a coffeecup and two figures sitting on chairs was attached to the wall, linking it up to the photograph of a lego-building joining the wall to the floor.
To the cluster of drawings depicting figures in landscapes of jagged lines, (with buildings, subway/tram-lines, a raincloud with a lightning bolt coming out of it) and the photograph of a signpost was added the drawing of two figures (one of them sleeping) outside a building with a large pizza above it, a portrait of Morrissey, and the word-balloons "There is a light that never goes out" and "Hej." upon it. Also added to the cluster was the drawing of a figure in a subway-station with the word-balloons "And if a ten ton truck killed the both of us, to die by your side, well the pleasure the privelidge is mine There is a light that never goes out". Below this drawing another one was placed, this one depicting a figure walking towards some buildings and railway lines, among which are some figures, a head and a chalice, and above which could be seen an "anarchy sign", some heads and a figure.
Also added to the outer eastern wall was a drawing of a figure with a Sonic Youth t-shirt surrounded by a sun, a group of buildings (including a rehearsal space) above him, three figures, a villa, a forest with a lake and a pizza. This drawing was placed above the drawing of some buildings surrounded by jagged lines, pine-trees, anarchy-signs, stars and the planet Saturn, and between the photographs of the "Echo" graffiti.

The cut-out drawing of a figure wearing a Sonic Youth t-shirt and looking at a combined peace and anarchy sign was added to the cluster of drawings of figures on the edge of the wall.
