Social artworks

"No one has the intention of building a wall", said Walter Ulbricht, the first Secretary of the Socialist Unionist Party of the German Democratic Republic, two months prior to the erection of the Berlin Wall.
We have the intention of building a wall. In Malmös beautiful park. It´s because we want to make people interact, help each other and so on. The more I´m thinking about this idea, the more I like it. We are a small group, only three guys. There were several other projects I could imagine to join. I finally ended up in the small wall group. I like it to belong to minoritys. Makes you special, somehow.
The wall won´t be very high, 50 centimeters maybe. What will happen? Will police stop us? Will the people of Malmö tear down that wall? Or is this small obstacle tall enough to make people change their everyday behaviour, at least for two minutes? Maybe they help a mother to lift her pram over the wall, maybe not. What a new aspect: A wall as a symbol of readiness to help.
I think it is both an interesting social experiment and a piece of art.
I´m looking forward to building that wall.
