LUNDTOFTEGADE
ART AND SOCIAL HOUSING
July 2022, I and 4 other artist colleagues,
-
Halfdan Pisket

Kongstad Studio

Nils Elvebakk Skalegård

Kasper Oppen Samuelsen
were commissioned to give life to staircases in Lundtoftegade on Nørrebro. Several residents expressed that they felt unsafe in destructive sorroundings, with decay and trash everywhere, while walking on the stairwells. There was daily vandalism and few wanted to use the stairs. The housing association took the initiative to create art with resident involvement. The residents of the 5 initially selected stairwells could choose the artist themselves, as well as show up to meetings and communicate their own wishes and thoughts with the artist in relation to the form and content of the art.
