'As an artist who grew among Innovation, I possess inquired myself one concern many times: why do our company certainly not see, in the middle of the sophisticated, yet visually cool, box-shaped properties, one singular property shaped like a bloom, hat, or shoe?' he says. Attributes, imagination, and also the component of unpleasant surprise are actually after that changed into the groundwork of his works.

[Right here], art is actually a home window formed like a water decline, a position in a wall in the type of a needle, a rhyme on a door, a laminated electronic photo as a kitchen area worktop, as well as an interior noise setup that reacts to the changes of wind and light outdoors,' Andersson composes. The artful details are customized payments through 20 of the musician's colleagues and his family, assisting his ideological background that spaces must tell the stories of those who inhabit them.Jan-Erik Andersson looks into the relationship between fine art, construction, as well as mother nature|graphic by designboom Sounding Dome Spa generates an engagement of vapor & music The Sounding Dome Sauna was generated in collaboration along with American noise artist Shawn Decker during Turku's International Cultural Capital 2011 activities.
