Good fences make good neighbours?

Text work and intervention

In the weekly newspaper Køge Onsdag

‘dobbeltop’ Art Museum Køge Skitsesamling DK 2005 - kurateret af Maria Gadegaard - katalogue

During 8 weeks the weekly newspaper Køge Onsdag contained text or pictures refering to the title. The newspapers also are shown at the at the Art Museum Køge Skitsesamling in the exhibition ‘dobbeltop’(dubble up).
The title ‘Good fences make good neighbours?’ is originally an old saying, which today is used in connection with territorially conflicts. The project consists of different text and photo contributions that refer to issues about neighbourhood and co-existence. By distributing the newspaper to all households in the municipality of Køge – and to the Art Museum Køge Skitsesamling both the citizens of the town and the visitors of the museum are involved in the subject; social, political and personal comments are becoming a part of the local media debate.
