Abstract
This essay revolves around the organization Mobile Art Production, MAP, and their art
exhibition Street View shown on Kungsportsavenyn, Gothenburg two weeks in April 2010. Being
an alternative to traditional art institutions, MAP sets out goals for their activities and the aim of
the essay is to examine whether the main goals of the organization were fulfilled through the
exhibition. In Street View six Swedish artists participated with a total of seven artworks.
The theoretical framework is formed using Arthur C. Dantos today classic essay ”The Art World”,
Anne Ring Petersens definition of installation art and Nicolas Bourriauds term and book
Relational Aesthetics. A deeper understanding of the artworks necessary for the conclusions is
reached by a thorough description and analysis of each artwork using semiotics as a tool. In the
end, some organizational goals proved to be achieved, while others remained unfulfilled.
