Tolerate is a work in three parts: a two-channel video installation, 12:30 min, subtitled in English, an anthology, 96 pages, in Swedish (to be released in 2012), and a web-application (http://tolerera.se). It was commissioned for this particular show.

I've invited the psychoanalyst Tomas Böhm and the psychologists Liria Ortiz and Fred Saboonchi to participate in the video and the anthology, wherein they explain their views on tolerance and intolerance, and present psychological tools or methods that can be used by those who wish to become more tolerant, or who are in need of arguments or inspiration in their work against intolerance. It should be noted that they don't participate in the web-application.

The primary target audience for the exhibition are students in the ages 16 to 19 years, who will view and interact with the works together with pedagogues in two hours long workshops. The venue is open for regular visitors as well but you should be aware that a workshop could be held in the venue while you are there and that you may have to wait a few minutes to see some of the works.

Other participating artists are Andrea Hvistendahl och Elisabeth Ohlson Wallin. The interior desigers Guise has designed the exhibition space.

The Folke Bernadotte Academy arranged three very interesting seminars in cooperation with Vox Pacis and Sensus in 2010, which examined how art and culture could contribute to conflict resolution processes. It included culture producers, academics and professionals with experience from diplomacy and conflict resolution. I participated in two sessions and held a short introduction to my project The Polynational War Memorial on the third occassion. A report from the seminars have been published in a brochure that can be downloaded here. (in Swedish)

The store and gallery for contemporary jewelry in Stockholm - Platina - recently published a summary from the talks held in connection with the exhibition I care a lot. This jury selected exhibition was an attempt to examine the connection between politics and contemporary jewelry with focus on the situation in the Middle East and a series of seminars were held during the exhibition. Read the summary at the klimt02 community blog. (in English)

I've also started up a new blog: #konstpol., which will focus on issues revolving around art and politics from a Swedish perspective. (in Swedish)
