Thank You All

Av: SVOP_T

I would just like to take the opportunity to thank you all for a great 5 days in Stavanger; I was feeling a bit sick after the dinner on Saturday and didn't get the chance to salute you all before leaving.

About the City Bridge Park

Our initial idea for Tou Works 1 was a project that related to the highway bridge crossing Pedersgata, called the City Bridge.

Mona Orstad Hansen and Torunn Larsen

Mona Orstad Hansen (visual artist, Stavanger) and Torunn Larsen (art historian, Stavanger) present ”Grassroots” - an uto-political art project at Nytorget. Nytorget is currently an area of transformation. The project wants to squat the site and make it a car free zone for a limited time period. The ambition is to lay grass and plant trees so wide-ranging that it will obstruct access for cars. The aim is to mobilize environmentally committed people in Stavanger City Council to join in action for a change of course and priorities, as well as basic values in relation to our environment. Historical inspiration: 7000 oaks, Joseph Beuys.

A Tou Works SEEDS project, incorporated in TW1.
