A special exhibition "Sliding Down the Surface of Things II" by three artists opens in Stockholm on March 6th. The participating artists are Jan Christensen from Norway (wallpainting), Katarina Löfström from Sweden (video-projection) and Jimi Tenor. According to curator Power Ekroth the exhibition is about how popular culture and fine art are breathing through each other - neither could do without the other. In it Jimi will have a room of his own for some yet unreleased music. There will be some nice large pillows to sit on, and a vague light.

"Sliding Down the Surface of Things II" at Sollentunamässan is part of the Stockholm Art Fair which takes place 7 - 10 March.
