COLLECTIVE STRINGS, Esbjerg Square, March 27, 2007
While Karoline was working on her project in Brazil, she was invited to do Collective Strings in Denmark in the entrance room of Esbjerg Art museum and at Esbjerg Main Square. Citizens passing by at Esbjerg Square, March 27 at 3 pm, were invited to pull colorful cotton strings into collective strings and tracks – sculpting and marking public space visually. When the strings were pulled in new directions, the structure gradually changed and new space and new possibilities for alternative body movements and alternative meetings were created.
STRING TRACK YOUR WAY (TO WORDS), Esbjerg Art Museum, February 10 – May 13, 2007
Visitors at Esbjerg Art Museum were invited to pull strings to words across the entrance room. Visitors could literally connect and inter-connect the pronouns “I, You, He, She, We, They, Me, You, Him, Her, Us, Them” pulling colorful strings to sentences expressing fluid movements, and the joyful actions spread across world continents covering city and street names written on the wall, where former Creative Actions had taken place. Thus a Collective Strings was woven across the room from the visitor´s movements with strings, serving as a body-awareness boundary for the visitors to move through before entering the Art Museum. They would have to consciously choose to go inside the Art Museum with its different conventions and rules of behaviour, or to turn around.
