MYCKET The Broom Closet
Installation
Project rooms, Färgfabriken
Participants: Mariana Alves Silva, Katarina Bonnevier and Thérèse Kristiansson
Architect and artist group MYCKET invites us into an installation for rest, recuperation and connection in Färgfabrikens project rooms.
The Broom Closet makes space for rest in midst of ongoing struggle. It is a way to reflect upon the politics of caring for places and relations, and a space to repair and to do this together, both as people in need and as care-givers. To take care – of ourselves, of each other, and our world – is to extend and share our solidarity.
The Broom Closet was first produced for Heaven by MYCKET, a spatial installation (300 sqm) for Norwegian National Museum – Architecture: Coming into Community, Oslo, 2022-23, part of Oslo Architecture Triennale and Queer Culture Year.
