Okey. Here is a very delayed comment on the latest week of my project.
My model is now finished. I've been thinking about it since and been wondering if I should have painted it and maked it look even more "real", but I don't know. Maybe I should keep it white, just like a model-look-alike. I think that I might have to ask my group today.
I have also bought four different cars and two of them I have destroyed with an axe at school a few days ago. The other two will be burned at Kungsladugård I think and I will bring my videocamera to document my action.
Apart from all this I feel a bit confused. I just don't seem to know what I am doing and who I am doing this for? All my ideas are gone at the moment and in today's newspaper I read an article about the fires in Backa and now the police has come up with other sort of thoughts about all the fires and WHY the actions and vandalizations are taking place. The reason of now, to me, have turned and I don't know if my thoughts are strong enough to "carry" my work. Or, are they? I really have to talk to Mr M and all the members of my group today. I'm looking forward to it. I really do.
A few days ago I want to school to destroy two of the cars which I had bought at that time. At first I wanted to use a hammer, but I couldn't find any, so instead I used an axe. I felt like a vanalizing person, never explored that feeling before. Well, at least not in this time of age...cliffhanger?
Anyway, C was in the classroom that day and she helped me document the action with my cellphone, so the film is not in that good shape, but anyways...it still is a film.
Among this, my own action, I got to think of vandalizations in different ways. I studied videos of vandalized cars on youtube and aslo found a video which is called "Art crimes" where they talk about graffiti as a crime.

I also got to think of the fires in Paris a few years ago and here is one link of a consert with Timbuktu, Chords and Spiderdogs in Stockholm. They rap about why this is happening etc. I song I might have to use...maybe...

That is all for now! Regards, J

Model finished.
Yesterday I went to school and finished my model of what is left of Kungsladugård. I really enjoy doing modelwork in another scale and make it look real somehow. Anyways, today I'll try to find some play-cars for my project. It's time to set things on fire!
I'm also thinking of paint my model, but I have not decide yet...time will tell.

My model.
Today was my 3:rd meeting with Mr M and the other members of my group. I do enjoy wednesdays cause then I know everything will be just fine when it comes to my project. As always I have felt a bit confused and lost at the same time. I almost felt like a questionmark when I entered the classroom today, I just didn't know WHERE to begin and HOW to talk about my project and WHAT I have been up to lately. But Mr M and my classmates made it clear and helped me become normal again. Just what I was longing for.
I have been thinking about the vandalizations in Backa, which is a part of Gothenburgh, and about the young people who wants to be seen and heard. What would the reactions be if something like that happened in Kungsladugård? More interesting might be the question; would vandalizations, like those which has happened in Backa, ever begin in Kungsladugård? The barn burned down nearly ten years ago, hmm...how did that happened? Who was responsible for that fire?
Today, directly after the meeting, I started to build a model of my place. I have a plan...

Confused.
So, today we had the 3:rd meeting at school and I got so confused after that meeting. How am I gonna get through this? I thought I had an idea, but now it's something else that has popped into my mind. Something new. My plan is no longer with me. I had a plan when I reached school today, but...hmm, now I have to replan and do things over again. What do I want? What is it that I'm looking for?
I want to build a model somehow and Mr M says I should do that. So I'm going to. But I don't know if I am going to use my place in my project. What I want is to invite teens, younger children. I want to listen to their thoughts and wishes. But I also interested in segregation. Oooh...too messy at the moment. But I'll follow Mr M's words and my classmates words aswell. I'm lucky to be around smart people at the moment...what had I done without them...probably not much.

A new comment.
Ok. So I made a comment this friday, but I was in a hurry so I did not have time to finish it.
I do have a lot on my mind about my project and it feels alright. I do have a plan, but I'm not sure that I will follow it. Probably not, but it is good to have a plan though. Anyway, as I said, I went to my spot last friday and it was a good day to make borders. I was standing there for a while at first, try to "feel" my in-between-place. I don't know if I acctually felt it, at least I tried. I was not sure HOW to make borders, but I found a stick and I used it as a tool. I almost felt like I was a part of a white, unwritten piece of paper and the stick was MY pen to make borders with. I've been thinking about that during the weekend and that thought has been the start of my plan.
So. My project USED to be one unwritten, white piece of paper, but now it is bordered with a "pencil". This is the GROUND. And there will be buildings on THAT ground. What buldings; I'm not sure of that yet. That is where the TEENS comes in. I have e-mailed two teachers at two different types of schools here in Gothenburg. I want to hear what teens have to say, what their dreams are when it comes to a youth-place-to-hang-out. I want the place to be the key between the teens and society and I want them to be a part of my work. Mr J is also a BIG part in my project. He has one thought of the place, I'm not ready to share it yet. I have to think about it a bit and meet J a few more times. He is important to me and I almost "feel" him in this work. His thoughts are in my mind. I have also tried to draw a few pics of my place and what it COULD look like. Since I have explaind earlier; I'm gonna build a smaller model of my place. Hopefully, at least, that is my plan.
SVT-PLAY.se, what a good thing. And this time I am gonna use that as a source, or as a refrence in this comment. At the time SVT-PLAY.se has a program which name is "Hemliga svenska rum" (Secret swedish rooms). The program is and shows abanoded places around Sweden, almost like an in between space, and as a viewer you'll follow a team who explore, investigate and research these places. One part is only 12 minutes long, so it is worth seeing the three parts which are on the internet at:
http://svt.se/2.110386/hemliga_svenska_rum
On the 16:th of october SVT also shows a documentary film which is called "In the white room" and the film is made by Bengt Bok. Bok has met Gunnel Wåhlstrand who paints "look alike" paintings of allready taken photos (the paintings seems amazing!). So, if you don't have plans on friday, do not miss this. I think it will be interesting.

Gränser dragna.
Under tiden pannkakor gräddas på spisen sitter jag nu och påbörjar ett tredje inlägg beträffande mitt projekt av Kungsladugård, mitt in-between-place.
I förmiddags tog jag vagnen ned till Klippan för att med hjälp av min kamera dokumentera valet av plats samt dess avgränsning av omgivande miljö. Det var en fin dag att göra detta; solen sken och jag hade gott om tid på mig och lät därmed arbetet ta den tid det fick ta för att jag skulle kunna känna mig nöjd med min markering (måste kolla till pannkakorna, redan bränt en...).
Jag valde en ganska enkel lösning vad gäller metoden för att avsätta gränser för min plats. Då min plats till största del, eller till hundra procentig del snarare, består utav en grus- och sandplätt valde jag att använda mig utav en större pinne som fanns nära till hands i ett buskage en bit längre bort. Hade till en början tänkt att använda mig utav tejp, men då platsen är relativt stor insåg jag att det skulle behövas en del tejp eller rep för att "rama in" denna. Valde därför att använda mig utav det som naturen har att erbjuda.
Det första jag reagerade på när jag kom till platsen var att "mitt" fina hjul var borttaget. Det fanns inte längre på den plats där det låg slängt sist gång jag var där. Till min förvåning upptäckte jag sedan att några byggarbetare grävt ned(!) hjulet i en gräsmatta cirka 50 m bort. Jag blev så förvånad och fundersam att jag var tvungen att ta ett kort för att dokumentera detta fruktansvärda ingrepp från världen utanför "mitt område". Kanske hade hjulet fått stå kvar OM jag satt ut mina gränser tidigare i veckan? (hmm...skulle inte tro det..)
Efter att ha funderat samt även blivit besviken över hjulets upphörande och funktion (påminner omvärlden om Kungsladugårsds tidigare syfte) var det nu dags att lämna detta bekymmer åt världen för att istället sätta igång att arbeta med gränserna. Vad jag lade märke till var att det längs platsens långsidor, för mig, redan är markerat med träribbor som följer längs hela vägen. Dock finns en "öppning" på höger långsida som för mig är tänkt som en "entré" till min ungdomsgård. Även denna plätt är markerad. Nedan följer några bilder som förtydligar detta:
Då jag nu upplever mig ha oerhörd tidspress beträffande detta inlägg väljer jag att avsluta här för idag och fortsätta imorgon när tiden inte är så pass knapp som den tyvärr utger sig för att vara just nu. Så för idag; hasta la vista och återkommer imorgon em.

Soppa - gröna väggar.
Ett tips: mixa aldrig soppa i mixerbehållare. Mixa med stavmixer direkt i kastrullen. Mycket bättre, speciellt om man gör soppa på frysta gröna ärtor. Det är INTE kul med ett illgrönt kök efteråt. Man tappar liksom matlusten....på något sätt....
Har inte satt gränser idag. Tänkt på min utbildning. Behöver ordna upp den innan jag får ro till något annat.
