DescriptionDescription: The textile collage Urban Weft is part of Petter Hellsing’s investigation of the city as a body in a global world. What happens when people appropriate space or create new temporary meeting places outside the plans of the architects and community builders? Are we becoming a species of living parasites in a world of rules and order?
