Work 25 - Hay Bale
"We have often enough bounded around the notion of lost societal imaginaries since the financial crisis aftermath and have even ventured to suggest the crisis and behavior of the powerful in the past decade has in part been made possible by the collapse of whatever imaginary held us up, but my dark little feeling was that in the unnerving spectacle of anti lock down, anti vaccine, anti 5g movements we are seeing the new imaginary in embryo state. And its past 12 weeks to boot!"
Work 24 - Cut Grass in Bergby
"All we need is a link next to 'home' and 'introduction' which says 'crypto'. That will let us relax and continue on in the fields and forests in the knowledge that these undoubtably important events in art and the world don't pass us by."
Work 23 - Chestnut Tree
"Look here, we lost the notion for the art public as far back as the carbielle assault and since then the 'public' has become such a far right creature that we cannot so innocently imagine it as the happy reciever of art and ideas that we once did and I think it once was. So to do we struggle to imagine our place in the tribal culture wars which have seen left wing activism and critique blurr with hoax and conspiracy."

"...we have, during the course of the above work, stumbled in to a new artistic context within which we can operate and merge our doing and this new work will become our spring campaign. Usually of course I would be dependent on your approval for any changes in direction and format but since I have taken the reigns this season I have made the decision to embark on a mission into the world of 'crypto' art."
Work 21 - View from Roslagsgatan
"The past two seasons we just about made haye by spinning the painting and writing plates but this season, with a new plate of video messages to the Singularity to spin also it has just became too much and to avoid thin spreading we were forced to remove your plate. Be assurred that this was not a decision taken without thought..."
Work 20 - Work Tools
"This one of ours today is really just to get back in the habit of one rush painting but it should be pursued just as we should revive our attempts at pictorial symbolism generally. We did up turned boats and chopped down trees, our end of the world metaphors if you please, but perhaps its time to let that train past and to the echo of chugs we stand in the vast..."
Work 19 - Self Portrait
"Well that is it! The show is over once more. Our open has been turned to closed, our little sign on the road carried in, our lights off, our curtain down, our pictures tucked back into their proper place in storage upstairs. Not a single viewer today to add to the tally of not a single viewer yesterday and this despite our increased best efforts to advertise all last week. Needless to say we have no sales. "
