Koloni Volym I. Hierakier bryts ner / Gemenskap byggs upp. Ett dokumentations - , arkiv - och utställningsarbete om en subkultur genom konsertarrangören Koloni .

Abstract

Koloni is a concert promoter that put up shows in lots of different locations with a wide variety of music styles and artistic expressions. In this work I have collected material from Koloni’s nine years of existence to form a volume. The volume tells the story of Koloni’s work, but also shed some light and understanding on the alternative cultural scene of today. Together with Christian Pallin I have been digging through a vast amount of posters, pictures, videoand sound clips to show the different sides of what Koloni is all about. I asked myself in what form this kind of material could be best presented and how to choose what parts should be included. Could I in the same work combine the archive with documentation and exhibition? How do I find a format that is engaging to the reader of the volume? What is the role of the curator, and how can the curatorial statement help a person read this work? The result that I came up with had the shape of a box. In the box was a book with texts and photos, 10 posters folded as a newspaper, an LP with sound materials, an USB-stick with video clips and a printed paper with a curatorial statement to lead the way.
