A NIGHT FOR BOTH SKILLED AND UNSKILLED

In 1998 artist Jörgen Svensson and composer Staffan Mossenmark worked on a project called "A skilled and an unskilled". They wished to investigate if knowledge about ex. art or music means that a piece will become "better" and more interesting than if an uninformed where to make something on the same premise.

At 2nd Space Gallery in San Francisco Svensson and Mossenmark had a vernissage and concert with three artists from San Francisco. The theme was the Swedish Midsummer day.

Everyone contributed by drawing a large wall mural, although Mossenmark is no painter.

On the day of the vernissage Svensson and Mossenmark hade a piano concert together, although Svensson is no musician. The audience didn't have a clue of this, they only focused on the piece which was performed.

Who was skilled and who was unskilled suddenly wasn't so obvious.
