This week I had an errand at the Stockholm based communications agency Futurniture. Founder and CEO Jakob Lind took the opportunity to give us a little tour of an art exhibition they currently host: The Office 3.0 - Silent Art, a reference to the 1963 classic Silent spring, written by Rachel Carson. The exhibition is made up by work from several artists, my favourite being Johanna Gustafsson Fürst’s art, which is all made from two weeks of trash from the Futurniture office.

Gustafsson Fürst has covered all door handles in newspaper, hid their aquarium (normally sporting a couple of plastic dishgloves flying around inside…) beneath a heap of I-don’t-know-what, taped flattened milk cartons to the floors, etc. It’s all over the place really, but since the office is such a busy creative creator’s space anyway, it takes a while before you realize what was actually there before Gustafsson Fürst’s takeover. I like it! Another, more serious, part of the exhibition, are a group of watercolour paintings made with toxic water, composed by Jan Stene. Provocative as only art can be.
