SLIDING STRUCTURE, 2008 at ROM for kunst og arkitektur, Oslo, Norway and at at Centro Cívico San Francisco in Bilbao, Spain at MEM 2010 Sliding Structure was an exhibition about shape and reshaping. Forms in motion, that creates a dynamic of moments with instantaneous difference. Sliding Structure is based on the ideas of the shapes of tents and banners, both recognizable forms with variable appearances. They might be disparate in their exterior shape and are foremost determined to be either a banner or a tent through the way they are used. The thin layer of a tent and a banner is a form that provides a boundary between the public and the private, or forms the place where a message might be announced in a public space. They differ in the way that a tent is used to separate and protect a private space, whereas a banner is a space for communication where a social/political situation makes a message meaningful.  In Sliding Structure, the shapes are reduced to signs, they are refined into pure, basic constructions, recognizable in the flux of mass-media. In the exhibition they become general shapes, shapes where a number of specific narratives and personal fates and fortunes are hiding.  Three work of art was made for this exhibition: Sliding structure: it, a mechanical installation built in close cooperation with steering engineer Gert-Ove Wågstam. Glipa / Opening, a video and Text-sculptures that cast shadows. The work Sliding Structure: it is built with support from Konstnärsnämnden, Sveriges Bildkonstnärsfond.
