The laptop computer was hooked up to the speakers by the western wall and the Elsewhere Right Now concert, the accapella concert by The New Noise Trio, the piece recorded in the gallery using the instruments built there, the covers of songs by Marit Bergman, Jens Lekman and Fred Astereo and the recordings of the music performed (Light 1 & Light 2) in the gallery by Jens Lekman, Terese Nordström and Hampus Pettersson were played through them. On the screen could be seen a movie of streaming water. The drawing of four angels playing instruments over a park was moved from the western wall and instead placed by the floor of the outer eastern wall underneath the drawing of a figure in a park, standing by a statue in front of a building along with the word-balloons reading "There's another Lincoln statue by the same sculptor in Prospect Park" and "Where Lincoln once stood now Gandhi stands". The coffeegrinds in the coffeecups were poured out onto the floor by the western wall, right by the photograph of a lego-building. The coffeecups were filled with water and placed by the inner eastern wall next to the painting of the band Sonic Youth performing in a forest. Photographs of the individuals who had contributed on collaborative pieces in the gallery (Liz Cummins, Stefan Johansson, Jens Lekman, Dan Lundberg, Terese Nordström, Alyssa St Vincent and Kamakani Weinberg) were cut out and placed on the western wall. . |
