ARBETE - CONSULTING ON MATHEMATICS, TIME & SPACE was the first collaboration between Åsa Lie and Jadran Sturm. This was an installation and performance consisting of a booklet, lamp, TV on a step ladder and a super 8 film projector on an iron construction at Galleri PROJECT in Stockholm, Sweden in 1989. The Swedish word ARBETE means ″work″. The images in the booklet and the super 8 film were shot in Prague in July just before the fall of the Berlin Wall. In the installation, the super 8 film was projected onto the screen of an old TV on top of which the booklet was placed. The artists performed during regular working hours consulting on mathematics, time and space.
At Galerie Stephanie Jaax the booklet and photos documenting the installation were displayed. Booklet and photos in plastic sleeves 82 x 56 cm. (Courtesy of the Jadran Sturm & Åsa Lie Private Stichting).
