ROTVÄLTA / föreställning (UPHEAVAL / scenario) (2024-2027)

This artistic research project in public art led by artist Kerstin Bergendal is funded through Gothenburg City Stadsmiljöforvaltning and curated by Göteborg Konst 2024. The project investigates the urban imaginaries and imaginaries of place that are at work in a key urban site of the cityscape of Gothenburg, Götaplatsen. The project entails conversations with “narrators” of the city to produce an (as yet unspecified) intervention into the extended site of Götaplatsen. One of the key outputs of the project will be a book on the methodologies used and their emergence within artistic practices over the last two decades, to be released in 2027/8.  Prof. Mick Wilson joins the research process with the intention to build a series of research seminars and teaching materials from this research project. This project is also realised in collaboration with GPS400: Centre for Collaborative Visual Research at the University of Gothenburg.
