PALS – Performance Art Links
PALS is a performance art platform based at Fylkingen in Stockholm. Fylkingen is a venue and artists' society. Since its establishment in the 1930s, Fylkingen has been committed to experimental work in the contemporary performing arts. The organisation is made up of over 250 member artists from many disciplines who use the venue to develop and present new work. The idea of linking is central to our work and therefore forms the ftitle itself – PALS: Performance Art Links. The project is realized based on partnerships between artists, organizations, institutions and projects. PALS, acting as a platform for performance art, has realized two big festivals and a number of different projects in other formats. PALS commenced its activities in May 2011 with a performance event at Fylkingen in collaboration with Live Action Gothenburg. We showed three artists from China, Germany and the US. In April 2012 we realized the first edition of PALS festival. The festival showed 23 artists from 13 different countries and the same number of art students from the scandinavian countries and Poland along with Fylkingen members. Other project of PALS are thematic project in cooperation with New Art Contact in Helsinki: the exchange project: “Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes”. Fake Finns and Wannabe Swedes presented 22 performance artists from Sweden and Finland with origins outside of these two countries. Second edition of PALS festival: 32 artists from all over the world participated in a three day event that take place in and around Fylkingen and the public place Slussen. We who run PALS are both organisers and performance artists.

Hiroko Tsuchimoto
Hiroko Tsuchimoto is a visual/performance artist, living in Sweden since 2008.
Since moving to Europe, she has worked with ethnography as a subject matter. In her art she
shifts between grand narratives and every day stories, highlighting the cultural construction of
personal identity. She tells stories about otherness and the will to belong, based on her
experiences as an Asian immigrant. This position gives her a bird’s eye view on both the
Swedish - and Japanese society. Through her works she makes gaps in our normality, for
self-reflection and external observations.

Erik Wijkström holds a Master of fine arts degree from the Royal institute of art in Stockholm 2006. Lives and works in Stockholm.
WOL - Wenche Tankred and Lovisa Johansson
WOL is a continuous artistic process that has been going on since 2007. The process forms itself in the intersection between performance, sound and installation art. WOL is creating playful works with a humorous freedom that want to turn the world on it's head. The human absurdity, sensibility and beauty. Their ideas emerge from an interaction with different objects, most of which provide some type of sound. The aim is to create living images with multiple meanings. WOL is beautiful, ugly and perfectly childish.
