”We received around 250 applications so the jury had a real nut to bite. It is fantastic that the interest has been so great,” says Åsa-Viktoria Wihlborg, project manager for the arts in Vallastaden. ”A challenge has been to find artists who can take on the site and stand out in the crowd, while we wish to achieve a dynamics of different artistic techniques.”
