In 2014, the class 6:2 at Färsingaskolan in Sjöbo participated in Konst i skolan (Art in the School) with me as the tutoring artist. Konstfrämjandet Skåne was the initiator of the art course. The theme was Sustainable Development and the materials were trash found on the beach, old CD:s and LP:s, old paper rolls and plastic bottles, and a bunch of other objects that the pupils would find in their homes in the trash bins. The materials were then recycled into art works, together with discussions of how to title an art work, how to price it and how to show it to an audience. There were exhibitions both at the school with all art works and at Konstfrämjandet Skåne in Malmö with the pupils’ selected ones.

In the photos Victor, Mateusz, Ayub and their friend are making “Gubben” (The Old Man) out of boxes of cardboard and an old styrofoam buoy. Sanna, Hedda and Linn are making a lamp – “Lampexoz” – out of pieces of CD:s and a half melted LP-disc.
