NESS 2011 ends

fish

Today the conference ends, and the starting point of the art project Power Landscapes was closed. Curator Po Hagström packed everything together with artist Ola Nilsson, and the biggest problem was – what to do with the fish from Scaropni’s Malthus? Too small to eat, too alive to kill. Eventually they got a VIP ride to an aquarium, all by themselves.
