#34 DESIRE
- Mairead Case Once I asked my parents for a dictionary. I wanted the boxed kind, navy with a magnifying glass. But Dad doesn't get gratification deferral in that way, so instead I got the kind with two volumes, six columns inside. According to it, desire is both a longing and an absence. It's sexual.

#26 Obligatory Passage Point
- Collaboration between Linus Elmes, Linda Soneryd, Jens Soneryd,
Milo Lavén, Elin Strand, Tove Lamm Stråhle,
Jo Rideout and Per Nyström.
Point out a compass course and make an investigation. Make it a game. Investigate the relation between you as a citizen and the resistance of the city, when you are walking a straight line, following a pre-defined compass course. Investigate what obstacles your body will meet: the air friction; other bodies; ditches you are forced to go down into and up again as they pass your way.

#17 Lost Homing Pigeons
- Melissa Dubbin & Aaron S. Davidson On Sept. 11 2002 a group of 80 pigeons, posing as white doves evoking peace, were released in the New York City
area. It was a tribute that went quickly awry as a fundamental misunderstanding became apparent. These pigeons
from a poultry market, originally destined for soup, were confused with homing pigeons- resilient birds that after
release are able to navigate to homes up to 600 miles away.

#7 Through The Home Tunnel
- Veronica Brovall I live in the house during the construction of the sculpture. I cut myself on bamboo sticks, bump into the large
spades that poke out of the tunnels. They dig, hollow out the house to make a new existence in it. I have nowhere
to sit - the chairs have either knives or bamboo fastened to them - the refrigerator is covered with staples.
