Rita & Hektor

Together with a new drawing device called Rita, Hektor is shown in the exhebition «Rita + Hektor» at the Tensta Konsthall in Stockholm, Sweden.

Rita makes her first appearance using a set of whiteboard markers on a large glass panel. Constantly drawing, erasing and drawing again, she works like a display.

Hektor will gradually spray paint texts and images over the gallery walls, starting on 14 May (12:00 - 17:00) and finishing on the Grand Finale.

GRAND FINALE and Catalogue Release
18 June, 16:00 - 21:00

There will be an online documentation of the ongoing work here at Tensta, check back soon for more.

Together with the Graphic Designers Laurent Benner and Jon Hares, Hektor has contributed to the show ?You Are Here ? The Design of Information? in the Design Museum in London. If you are close by, you may want to go there and have a look, the show is open until the 15th of May.
