The International Garden Show in Hamburg is opening on the 26th of April and we are exhited to show you one a part of our garden at the show. It is a new product, a garden slab that can be placed in groups or as a solitaire. It is manufactured by GH-form in Denmark and this picture is taken just after production, hence the light grey color - it will turn a bit darker. We'll release more information about our garden and participation at the show soon and we hope to see you there on the opening!

GORA art&landscape just got back from Oslo where we are working in a team together with Gullik Gulliksen och Kristine Jensens tegnestue, in a parallel assignment regarding a 9km long walk along Oslos harbour.  The area is rather complex, with a variation of different typologies, stretching from container storages, by the opera house, to ports for cruise ships. Click here for more information about the project.

Monikas utställning 'Min trädgård' som visats på Staffanstorps Konsthall sedan i somras är nu slut.  Publikationen 'Min Trädgård', som gavs ut i samband med utställningen, finns att läsa online på Issuu. Texterna ska nu översättas till tyska och engelska för att kunna visas i andra sammanhang.

ÄNGEN is the proposal made by Monika Gora for the courtyard at a new building (BOIC) at Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg. Gora was one of three chosen artists sketching on proposals for the site. ÄNGEN, the proposal for this long narrow yard, consists of lightning sculptures and vegetation, interplaying with the surrounding buildings and the shifting light at the place. The elements are not just situated on the ground but are also climbing on the roofs of the galleries making them visible from different heights in the buildings. Unfortunately the jury didn't choose ÄNGEN as the winning proposal.

Pianos are unwanted in our time. They seem too big, too brown, too  square for our white washed interiors. First they are being thrown out from the real estate agent’s advertisements. Then they get conditional stays in attics and basements. Soon no one would even like to pay the rent for temporary storing them. Any young girl or boy who starts to play the piano soon receives a modern electric one for birthday. Pianos are garbage in our time. Maybe there will be other times! Until then, we would like to make you aware of their precarious situation, by making this conservatory for discarded pianos. Please honour them by playing a last tune.
