FITTING IN - Krizia Zurita
How long can your pants be?
Wear the longest pants on the platform and you could be the winner of SEK 10,000!
There's no need to submit any proof; our supervisor will notify a weekly winner.
In order to win this, your pants should fit. We don't have one winner. We have two. Or three.
It's not just a funny exercise
It's not even orchestrated
It's already happening.
There's a winner. There's a winner but they ran away.
"MMMM, nope. They're not long enough! No son lo suficientemente largos. De är inte tillräckligt långa."

WHAT DOES THE SALMON KNOW ABOUT WATER - Jamie Gilroy Barrett
The salmon drifts
Here, remnants of change
A wasteland of flatpack dreams
Scattered with things that never were
A perpetually unmoored existence
Unfinished, unfulfilled, unnoticed
A ghost estate
The salmon drifts

What Does the Salmon Know About Water is concerned with transient landscapes and temporality, influenced largely by the numerous 'ghost estates' that were an ever-present image in the artist's home town in Ireland. The work examines spatial and temporal structures of the everyday exploring the disjuncture between the intended and the disrupted, between the linear journey and the unmoored drift.
