THE THIRD UTOPIAN WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP HAS STARTED!
Join the quest for Utopia by participating in the Utopian World Championship, which is a global, open contest in utopian thinking and writing. You participate with an essay, or short story, in which you describe your utopian vision. The first prize is 1000 Euro and the winning entry will be printed and distributed by the UWC group. The competition is planned to finish in 2011 to mark the ten-year anniversary of its start in 2001.
The third Utopian W.C. was launched in an opening ceremony at the Knot, on Kopa Cwila in Ursynów, Warsaw, Poland, on July 3 at 7pm.
You can sign up for participation at the web site utopianwc.com, where you can also read the rules for the previous championships, and all about the previous participants and their essays. For visitors to Kopa Cwila hill there will also be an information desk for the Utopian W.C. where you can sign up and get more information.

NEW WORK FOR DOCUMENTALITIES.ORG
Documentalities is the name of the 2009-2010 version of the thematic seminar course Art and Architecture at the Royal College for Fine Arts in Stockholm, in which I've been participating. The course has focused on various aspects of the document in forms of borders, passports, photography and archives and included a round trip in the middle east in October 2009. This year has been focused on artistic projects on the theme that are now shown at the spring exhibition of the Royal Academy in Stockholm, opening at June 26 and closing at July 6.
I've created a study for a larger work for this exhbition, titled 124 years, that can be seen as a continuation of the works 101 years and 19 years. You can view the work as an animation at the website documentalities.org from May 26.
