The governing principle for the selection of artists participating in Tell a Friend has been linking and networking, and seizes upon our time’s most striking characteristic: the net’s opportunities for exchanging information. Bonniers Konsthall invited people from its network to suggest artists from the emerging Swedish art scene. This helped us collect a group of artists to contribute to the exhibition, who all work within different fields such as visual art, architecture, set design, music and design.
Tell a Friend has allowed a subjective and zestful selection process to be the guiding principle. Linking and networking have opened up the principle of selection to a temporary, non-hierarchical network where the co-collaborators set the agenda. The method emphasises an activity in change and motion, where the linking and connecting elements open up contact areas between individuals, practices and traditions.
