Nedan är konsthallens beskrivning av utställningen. Utställningen bestod av 6-7 interaktiva och sociala skulpturer som var en utställning/klassrum som sedan omformades och förändrades och fylldes upp av studenternas arbeten under slutet av sommaren.

We do not really now yet, but we will find out during the course this summer when the exhibition Art and Game Obstruction evolves from what it is to whatever it will become. The Gothenburg based artist Olle Essvik has been given the task to create a site-specific social art installation where the students can interact and also make their own marks. Essvik has chosen to work with different aspects of emptiness and to create an exhibition space that “is something” but also “can become something” as the summer progresses and the students make the room their own. Essvik, the university students and the guest teachers; artists Brody Condon, Julian Oliver and Tracy Fullerton, will be working in, and with, the installation during the summer. Thus the final stage of the exhibition will not be ready until right before the students leave and the exhibition closes. So if you want to see the final result and really find out what happened you will have to come back on (or after) the 19th of August when the final grand opening takes place.” Act 1.
