tensta konsthall extention
kth stockholm, september 2001
by kerstin nigsch
and anke schwanck
the space where tensta konsthall is situated was a former stockroom. therefore
it is not in an exposed position. the mainstreet of tensta centrum - where
live happens - is located one level up of the konsthall entrance.
tensta konsthall is hidden at an unattraktiv rest space. there is no connection
to tensta centrum, no direct way and no spatial relation.
this is one reason why tensta konsthall is not really adopted by the inhabitants
of tensta. at the moment tensta konsthall is more likely a place where
people from stockholm-art-scene meet.
the square in front of tensta konsthall is not very inviting because in
the middle is a small parking area. since there is a multi storey car
park with lots of unused parking lots there is no necessity for it.
